I grew up in KY, and I have never heard the term "Kentucky Windage." Last night, I encountered it while reading this book. So, I looked it up here
For fellow Maltese who are not familiar with the nuance of American slang "Kentucky Windage" is a not too complimentary reference which sheds an image of indecision that is opportunistically resolved with licking one's forefinger and allowing the direction of a prevailing wind to settle an issue. In less political correct phraseology the odious approach allows for taking advantage of circumstance with little or no concern for principal or consequence.
Pretty interesting.
