Vocabulary Lesson

So while back, I had the following conversation with a coworker:

Coworker: I learned a new word, from a movie.

Me: Oh? What word?

Coworker: Peckerwood.

Me: Um...

Coworker: Yeah, a guy in this movie called this other guy a peckerwood.

Me: Um... it's kind of a bad word meaning "white person." Like saying they're a redneck or something.

Coworker: Oh. I thought it had something to do with woodpeckers.
