[quote=Anonymous]Consider this evidence. A noted African-American poet was using "whoop" for whip way back in 1914. Whipping was no doubt a particularly sensitive term. Seems like the term "whoop" is indeed freighted with some racial overtones. Quit Yo' Foolin' Yes, heah yo' come 'mos out' breaf Yo' bettah quit yo' foolin' Done almos' played yo'se'f to deaf Yo' bettah quit yo' foolin' See dem pants now an' dat shirt Clean dis morn'n now wit dirt Done kiwered. Boy, gwine to whoop yo' for't Yo' bettah quit yo' foolin' Henry Allen Laine 1914 Incidentally, the first four lines might well apply to this discussion. [/quote]
