Re: Briar (as a feminine name)
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
No, I don't think Appalachians themselves use the term. It's definitely a term heard mostly in Ohio, maybe parts of Indiana, referring TO transplanted Appalachians. A slang term, I guess. But kind of an ethnic slur. It's not meant affectionately. I did not know about the radio show. That's interesting.
