I don't know about you guys, but to me, a raccoon is a "coon".
No one in my family has ever called them raccoons.
In my dad's side of the family, everyone was a coon hunter.
They would think you're insane if you said you hunted raccoons.
Same with possums.
Have you ever heard someone say "opossum"?
Onetime I told a friend of that we almost hit a possum and he looked at me like I was crazy... Then he said how he had almost hit an "opossum".
It is shocking to me, because I have never heard that before in my life.
Maybe it's just my area, But I thought the "O" was silent.
Who else said coon and possum?
