Seems like that would be justification for removing the "New Orleans Pecan Pie" section title, too, especially since the page it's sourced to is not very scholarly. Warren Dew (talk) 01:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] From article

[edit] Slang Usage of the Term

The term Pecan Pie is slang in many cultures for different things.

[edit] Bermuda

In Bermuda, 'pecan pie' is used in substitution of the term 'cool.' Recently, it has been common to call something good 'PP.'

[edit] Kyoto

In Kyoto, Japan, Pecan Pie is a very derogotary term. In 1876, a shipment of pecans from Canada were famously plague-infested. Pecan Pie is thus used to refer to anything very unsavoury that someone would not want contact with; recently it is used to refer to people.

[edit] Kent

The American soldiers who came to Kent before D-Day brought many Pecan Pies with them. These soldiers also had a hadbit of seducing local wives. Thus, the term 'Pecan Pie' is now used in the region to refer to any people who might be as regarded as 'wife stealers.'

[edit] Afghanistan

Afghanistan is majorly afflicted with land mines. CIA workers, working with the local militia against Soviet invading forces in the 1980s, noticed that the mains looked like Pecan Pies from their native Americans. The term now refers to land mines in the area. Someone who has been maimed by a mine is said to have been pied.

With sources, this can go back, otherwise, lets just chuckle at it. Rich Farmbrough 16:37 9 May 2006 (UTC).
