And again, what word does this create and how does it make any sense at all in that context? If the argument is that Zimmerman chose that moment to throw in a bit of nonsensical gibberish, fine, but that needs to be weighed against the (arguably greater) likelihood that he said something else entirely … something that made perfect sense considering the other questionable circumstances.

Again, critics of the “coons” version don’t have to actually propose their own version. It’s sufficient to point out that “coons” is unlikely to be constructed through [ou]. “Coons” is not the default version. [unintelligible] is the default version.

I have, however, specified above that for me it sounds closer to “he’s fucking close” or “it’s fucking close” than “[something] fucking coons”. I see that some Mother Jones readers also suggested “clueless”, as in “he’s fucking clueless”. However given the context (GZ pursuing TM) “close” makes some sense.
