colored

African-American. The former "polite" term, replaced by "Negro," then by "black," now by "African-American."

To call a colored man a nigger,
Just to see him bow.

pope's nose

The fatty rump of a chicken, from whence the tail feathers come. Obviously an anti-Catholic gibe. The part that goes over the fence last.

Give the little kid the pope's nose.
