What’s a cusband? That’s (apparently) what you call your husband  who is also your first cousin. Yep. Cusband. Got a nice ring to it, right? And where are they talking about this, East Tennessee? Nope. New York and San Francisco. Seriously. In the New York Times, Sunday Edition. And people say paper is dead – not with stuff like this in there, it ain’t.

All weekend long, I’ve been working “cusband” into conversations. Everyone I encounter has a very love/hate relationship with “cusband.” On one hand, good for you, Redneck, for finding the clever in the chromosomes. On the other hand, this isn’t funny. Your kids have tails.
