Did you make some sort of typo? I am unfamiliar with "Idaho" being a racial slur, and a google search brings up nothing.

Is this some kind of potato farmer thing that I'm too urban to understand?

I mean, the etymology is that it's a fake word made up to sound Shoshone. I don't think anybody uses it to make fun of Shoshone people today but that is kind of a questionable origin.

No, and it takes a pretty warped imagination to think that it is.

Every single English word is a racial slur except latinx so of course yes.

Sounds like a slang Southern way of saying 'I'm the prostitute."
