moon cricket / moon'krikit / noun Derived from the antebellum colloquial slur for the enslaved who, weary and working through the night, maintained through chanting and song. "Looking back, the term moon cricket was used to belittle the plight of slavery and shroud it in fancy, but couldn't this darkness be reclaimed in the name of song and an undying dedication to the higher power working through us all?"
