chained_bear commented on the word mangeur de lard
"'I was a real cheechako,' he admits, using the Alaskan euphemism for an unskilled, wet-behind-the-ears greenhorn, a tenderfoot, what the trappers of the Rocky Mountain West would have called a mangeur de lard, a pork eater, a man inexperienced in the mountains."
—James Campbell, The Final Frontiersman (New York and London: Atria Books, 2004), 83
