Talk:Hoedown

Untitled
I added to this page as I feel it does not adequately focus on the folk dancing aspect of a hoedown. If someone knowledgeable about this kind of traditional dancing could expand the page I would be greatly appreciative. Mr Bound 20:32, July 12, 2005 (UTC)


 * -I've addded a dance stub tag to the article. Perhaps someone over there will be able to fill it in for you. J. Van Meter 10:23, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Etymology
Article very much needs an explanation of the word's etymology. Does it come from farmers putting their hoes down at the end of a working day? Badagnani 22:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I concur on the value of an etymological history. Rollo44 (talk) 20:58, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Rocky Racoon
The article had said that the Rocky Racoon song "uses "hoe-down" as a euphemism for sexual intercourse," but this isn't exactly true. It says that Rocky's girlfriend and the other guy "were in the next room at the hoedown," so they're clearly using "hoedown" to refer to some sort of hotel/motel/inn (which isn't a typical meaning of the word)....It's implied that they were likely having sex in that room, but this wasn't what the word "hoedown" itself was directly referring to in the song. I've edited now to reflect this. -2003:CA:8710:6FBF:B876:6AC:9F3C:FA61 (talk) 22:20, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
