I heard it long before I ever moved here. Usually in the context of where 
Fayette-nam and Ft. Drag were. I don't believe it comes from any Cherokee 
word. I think it's just bad slang used to make the Carolinas sound hick. 
Though it does seem to bedded in Rap vernacular these days I tend not to 
use it. I guess I'm just not as hip as I used to be.
