A couple of co-workers were overheard talking about hunting with Coonhounds...somebody got offended so the word is now banned at work. Seems a little too PC to me but maybe I'm just out of touch with the sensitivity of other people's feelings.

Well, sure. How else do you hunt coons?

One of the most majestic sights I have seen (when it comes to dogs) was 2 Redbone Coonhounds standing on their front porch in backwoods KY. The sun was shining on them just right and they were just a sight to behold - not barking, not carrying on, just standing there in the sun.

My brother has a Bluetick like this one.

He (the dog) was a stray whose owners didn't want him back, if you can believe it. Boo (yes, a dog named Boo) is just a pet, but he will chase any coons that get into the yard.

If 'Coonhound', which is both definite and accurate in describing a specific breed of dog bothers these moronic nitwits, then just refer to these breeds as "Bluetick Spades", or "Redbone Jungle Bunnies", or in my specific case, "Treeing Walker Porch Monkies". This crap has gotten way out of hand and people need to start responding to this BS with an emphatic, "Stuff it if you don't like it".

Is poon hound acceptable? It's similar, yet somewhat different.

If I were you, I’d be more conscious and aware, as well as niggardly with your words from here on out...to avoid offending people.

If you really want to blow their minds go in and ask them if they are going to be niggardly with your annual salary adjustment if you continue to use the word.

How ironic it is that the OP is in Virginia, where the governor is known as the "Coonman" and still has a job, yet the open discussion of a legit dog breed could result in the termination of one's job.
