I was called a cracker on the Puyallup last night.

Cracker also means a new or inexperienced fisherman.

he was the cracker.
fishing cracker is what you call that person that just experienced that loud cracking of line when snagged up on a rock, log or unintentional long line releasing of a fish with hook and gear still stuck in its face. lol

I can't believe it took that many posts for someone to point that out! That was my first thought, it's what we always say when one someone does something dumb (including myself) is that they just "crackered" that fish off like it was their first day on the water!

I guess I would have asked.....does that pertain to the sterotypicality of my socioeconomic superiority, or are you professing to be a poor fisherman?

Cracker is what Cracker does......Proud of my Cracker status however it's interpreted.....

cracker is a silly name.  however its intended.

they should call it nigging.  cause nigging and rigging rhyme. 
then you could say........"Hey man.......your nigging my rigging...you damn cracker!!!!!"

I still think its kinda ridiculous ....however its was intended ..... who knew it meant that about a fishing person...duuuuude I am so behind the times on slang epithets ...course I still say duuuude and awesome so that kinda says a thing or two  and I cant even say the N word it wont come out of my mouth ....was ingrained in me to be the most profane word a person could say and would of invoked the wrath of my mother she woulda slapped my mouth off my face if I said that word

same here.  my mom would have washed my mouth out and made me go pick a switch out in the yard so she could woop me with it.
