'A gone coon' was a favourite of my mother. I don't think she knew exactly what it meant, but had picked it up from some sailors. She lived to 100 and never met a black or coloured person, or jew for that matter, in her entire life. She had met one or two Catholics, which of course were viewed with suspicion and deep pity.

R147, my Mom told me that her grandmother (1878-1956) called it that. She was a farmer's wife (a farmer too, I should say). I first heard the expression on a a cooking show on a local PBS station. The German-accented chef cooked Colonial era recipes on an open hearth. The "spider" was a frying pan with four long prongs as legs to go over the open fire. When I watched the show with my Mom, that's when she told me her grandmother called it that. I guess she used the term growing up using wood or coal bearing stoves.
From the looks of it, it makes sense.

[quote]R217: I never heard it called "Oriental food".
The term 'oriental' was common in foods until the 1980s, when it began to be gradually phased out. Still, it pops up in places. Maruchan Ramen marketed 'Oriental Flavor' until only a couple of years ago, when they finally rebranded it 'Soy Flavor.' Top Ramen might still use it, I don't know.

"Clambake" a gathering or event that does not necessarily involve clams, lobster, corn, seaweed or even a beach. While shellfish may or may not be featured, alcohol will be supplied.
The Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament pairing golf pros with Hollywood actors was originally known as Crosby's Clambake, singer Bing Crosby having initially organized the event in the 1930's.

After all, the Oscars are a competition, and there is a winner of an Oscar, so why not call the person the winner? And those of us who grew up with the phrase, “And the winner is...” will never forget it. I think a book about the Academy Awards even used the phrase as its title.
