When I was 10 or so my cousins and I put a basketball hoop in the barn loft after all the hay bales were used for the season. My uncle came up the ladder and told us to be careful or we'd "get a bunch of coons in here playing ball." I didn't know that word was a slur at the time, so the image of a bunch of raccoons playing basketball was hilarious to me.

When I was in my 20's I told that story and everyone just grimaced. Someone had to tell me what he had actually meant.
