How the **** am I supposed to know about archaic usages confined to the deep south which is a place I daily tell everyone I hate? Especially when there is a normal usage which even the dictionary says is the standard usage?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Here is the standard definition used by most people instead of the racist bigot definition being put forward by Albert Speer and HC:
The Tar-Baby is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br'er Rabbit in the second of the Uncle Remus stories. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes. In modern usage according to Random House, "tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by additional contact.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

This just reenforces the fact that Ogie is always wrong though just like DinoDoc constantly looks like a ****** for screwing everything up. It comes with being southern so I'm sure you are used to it by now."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
