[Ads-l] "Dixie" redux

[Ben Zimmer]

My latest article for The Atlantic is pegged to the news that The Dixie
Chicks are changing their name to The Chicks. I took the opportunity to
present the latest findings on the origins of "Dixie" from Jon Lighter,
Barry Popik, and Dave Wilton. Thanks to all three for the great research.
