"You drive like a cuck!" the guy yelled at me as he gunned his engine to drive away as I turned left

taking a left at a light and my windows were open so I heard the guy yell before he hit the gas on his black muscle car and sped away.
Did I mention I still have my Hillary bumper sticker on my car?
Did I mention this is Southern California?

It's so frat-broish and obnoxious, and it's the linguistic equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. That most of the people using it are over the age of 20 makes me scream inside.

It is a sexualized racist code word invented by white supremacists. It describes someone who gets sexual pleasure watching his wife having sex with an African American male. It is a crude synonym for race traitor.

In one word it encapsulates all that is frightening about Trump's America

It's short for "cuckhold" which means:

"A cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife. In evolutionary biology, the term is also applied to males who are unwittingly investing parental effort in offspring that are not genetically their own."

The word has been around for centuries. English usage first appears about 1250 in the satirical and polemical poem "The Owl and the Nightingale," which long before America was discovered by Europeans, let alone there existing any African Americans.

When I was growing up (almost a century ago) in NYC, Italian Immigrants would call each other "cucks" and make horns on their heads, most often resulting in a fight.

But you have to understand that words take on new or additional meaning as time progresses. The words Moron, Imbecile, and Idiot were clinical terms used to describe people with learning and intellectual disabilities. Now they are used in modern parlance as substitutes for Stupid and ignorant people.

"Cuck" in modern parlance has taken on the additional meaning, especially for conservative and alt-right men with its racist undertones.

Speaking of insults, I actually had to look up the word, "choad", as I had never heard it, and I overheard my 17-year-old nephew use it. His mother (my sister) and I had to look it up online, and we got an eyeful. . . My apologies to those who DO know what it means without having to look. . . . !

I'm about to look 'cuck' up. . . !

Southern California is only "blue" because the voters in general realize have to play nice with their neighbors and environment to prosper. It's still a place that people from all over come to and settle in; not necessary are born and raised.

A lot of the old-timers are John Bircher bigots, and the moneyed class in California - the developers - are notoriously Libertarian in nature. Especially the "petit-rentier" class of middle class Southern Californian apartment building owners and property flippers that sprang up during the 1950's - 1970's housing boom. The type who believe anyone should be able to have a life just like "Father Knows Best" or "Leave it to Beaver".
My step-daughter's inlaws are of that class - clueless "I got mine" types who can't understand why their kid just floats aimlessly through life.
And yes, they're Drumpf voters because, well, the Democrats allow too many people to live off their tax dollars instead of making their money "through hard work without any help from the government" and investing their money, just like they were able to do - through early pensions (SiL's grandfather was a Union city firefighter until he quit with very nice good pension after 20 years for family issues, and grandmother was in city Administration) and the WWII G.I. bill the Great-Grandfather had that enabled him to purchase - and sell - several residential properties as the family grew.
No help from the government whatsoever...

Remember, both Nixon and Reagan came from the political California scene.

If you look at California on an electoral map you will see Dark Blue all along the coast with some red smatterings, but go east and it is Blood red.

We also have had such luminous Governors as Earl Warren, the aforementioned Reagan, Pete Wilson, Deukmejian, and the Governator.

Apparently it's a word White Supremacists/"angry white men" are rather fond of using which makes sense spewing from whose mouth it came out of earlier today, Bannon (in describing Kushner).

If a man uses the term "cuck" as an insult, you can be 100% certain that he either has a tiny penis or doesn't know how to use it.

And stop at yellow lights, use their signals, stop at crosswalks for pedestrians and follow the rules in general. Basically cuck has become a codeword for beta characteristics in general.

“Cuck” — which is short for “cuckold” — is a favorite insult among white nationalists for conservatives who are supportive of immigration. The idea is that any white man who allows immigrants from other races into the country is essentially inviting darker-skinned men to have their way with white women — in other words, white men who favor more immigration are “cuckolding” themselves.

In other words a favorite insult from insecure white racists with micro-penises.

Muslims, minorities, immigrants, the educated, anyone who has ever suggested a change for improvement.

Even their worst insult -- "cuck" -- is rooted in the fear that their wives will cheat on them, probably by men with bigger wangs (because naturally they're also terrified that their own goods don't "measure up&quot .
