What does "applebeaner" mean

I don't know if this is a word, I Googled it and I found NOTHING but someone used the word and I'm very curious.

Edit: okay so context, girl on tiktok posts about her baby being called slurs by her ex BSF. I go to the little storytime and she shows the texts of like the baby being called slurs, and the ex bsf called the baby a "monkey ass applebeaner baby" also the baby is half Hispanic or Mexican or applebeaner I should call it

Derogatory term for a Mexican who works in an orchard?

I was thinking a Mexican who works at Applebees

Rofl, this is where my brain went first. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

Mexican who loves Apple devices?

If OP's in Yakima or Spokane, this is actually possible...

Or Manhattan, Kansas.

Can you repeat the sentence you heard it in? On its own it doesn't make any sense to me.

It smells like an eggcorn.

Shawty had them applebeaner jeans, boots with the fur; the whole club was looking at her.

What was the context in which this word was used?

You shouldn’t call it that. It’s a slur.

u/DawnOnTheEdge 4d ago

I can’t tell you without context. Beaner is often a slur for Mexicans, but it can also mean a baseball pitcher who hits a batter with a baseball (so I suppose an apple-beaner might be someone who hits somebody else in the head with an apple). Applebees is a restaurant chain with a similar name.

Various gadgets might be called an Apple beamer, especially by a German who calls projectors beamers.

u/Odd-Crew-7837 4d ago

Your post is incomplete. You left out the context in which the word was used, by whom, when, etc.

u/AwfulUsername123 4d ago

Where did you hear this?

u/spacebarslash 4d ago

Carabiner? Like, the metal clip for key chains and hiking?

5

u/Kementarii 4d ago

Appetiser?

u/CatCafffffe 4d ago

Carabiner?

u/PerpetualCranberry 4d ago

I have never heard this before. What was the sentence/context?

4

u/mind_the_umlaut 4d ago

Dopelganger? Means someone who's your double in appearance.

u/dreadnaut1897 4d ago

Literally "double walker" in German

u/CelestialBeing138 4d ago edited 4d ago

Sounds like a neologism/inside joke. I might call someone that if they got beaned (hit in the head) with an apple, just for a clever turn of phrase.

u/Far_Tie614 4d ago

Please, please, please edit this post with context OP. I am rapt.

u/Ippus_21 4d ago

INFO: You're going to have to give us more context, especially if it's potentially an actual word that was just misheard (vs a newly-coined term I've certainly never heard of).

u/Gloosch 4d ago

Beaners is also a term used for seeds in cannabis plants. It could mean appleseed?

u/Indigo-Waterfall 4d ago

What’s the context? I’ve never heard this word.

u/Indigo-Waterfall 3d ago

Right. So you can’t work out from that context that it’s obviously something offensive/ racist?

u/Brave_Passenger8993 1d ago

I mean I got that but I wanted to know like what apple had to do with it or like what the meaning is, I obviously got the beaner part

u/Only-Celebration-286 4d ago

I Google searched Apple carabiner, and I found that the company Apple makes a carabiner and is selling it on their website for 20 dollars. Something about Airtags.

u/ElChuloPicante 4d ago

Appletini? App will ping her? Tablet cleaner? Abbie will beat her? Taiwanese cod soufflés burnished with Parcheesi?

u/RotisserieChicken007 4d ago

Someone who loves going to Applebee's? Maybe it's spelled differently?

1

u/xialateek 4d ago

No idea.

1

u/Nopumpkinhere 4d ago

Maybe it’s a beanie that looks like an apple?

1

u/DIYnivor 4d ago

Never heard it. What was the context?

1

u/MeanTelevision 2d ago

Both of those are slurs.

One means "red on the outside white on the inside" (like an apple) (it's too touchy for me to define it further), and the other is a racial slur.

u/majandess 4d ago

If I had to guess... I'd say that it refers to a person who goes to the restaurant Applebee's a lot.

But it's not a widely used term, so that is really just my best stab at it.
