From the unionizing coal miners and their red bandanas. Mark E. Williams No, the term probably is religious in nature, and from another country.

I have some relatives by marriage who live in the area and they also know the etymology of the word. The fact that today the word has different meanings for different people does not change the fact that it was first used in another country and had a totally different meaning. |
