I'm just curious what the different opinions are on this...
-
A Redneck is a hick. I live in Kentucky, I WOULD KNOW lol
-
we call "hicks" red necks in the South...
They come to mind when you say Red State...not very smart, but they're very stubborn
I work with red necks :) .

ask Jeff Foxworthy, he can give you a few examples.
-
A red neck is a hick who strongly believes in hick philosophies and ideologies. A plain hick is someone who ten years ago would come to a large town like Reno, Nevada and exclaims he really hates the city. A place where deer and other animals would commonly make their debut downtown from time to time. A red neck does the same thing but also brings his shotgun and complains there are not enough elk around during hunting season when he comes there to do his shopping.

If you have ever been accused of lying through your tooth, you might be a red neck.

A red neck is a classier type of hick who carries a shotgun. I think. so far.

When I think of redneck, the first things which pop into my mind are: that old coot from the Warner Brother's cartoons, Hatfield/McCoy (Stonefield/Maclure), and po' folk in the South who ain't got nothing to do but avoiding them durn revenooers. Too much Dukes of Hazzard as a kid I guess...
Now, my dad identifies himself as a redneck... country music, hunting, fishing, playing with cars/etc., so I guess that would tend to be the more refined outlook on it, if we go by his definition.
-
Well, when I was saying they complain about not enough elk during hunting session I meant right there in the city. Like he was try to do his hunting in the middle of town while shopping. My attempt at cheap humour. Hence, someone who treats everywhere like it was the country side. To the effect of there is no other way of thinking.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to explain (my take on) the origin of the term. Farmers aren't known for wearing sunblock. They're outside all day long, and it doesn't take long for their faces, forearms, and the backs of their necks to really blister (hence the term "farmer's tan"). This is also the origin of the term "redneck". It means someone (usually unsophisticated) who makes his living working outdoors (such as a farmer). From there, the more colorful meanings have spawned. 8)

Rednecks are people that make the woods and a shotgun put together more interesting. However, the use of such words as "ain't" "y'all" "howdy" and "yeehaw" does not, in my eyes, make you a redneck, so in conclusion, my home home, not Ft. Lewis, but my Oklahoma home, has many rednecks, however, I myself am not a redneck, as I am a Washingtonian :wink:

to add, my dad's theory is that when the rednecks cut their long hair their neck would be white and then they'd go outside and get burned in the necks. o.O

You've evidently missed out on the whole point of fishing. It's to be in the middle of nowhere, away from the people who annoy you, and for some to drink beer. Catching fish is a sometimes unwelcome end result. Then you hafta clean 'em and such.

Redneck Woman
(Gretchen Wilson/John Rich)
Well, I aint never been the Barbie doll type.
No, I can't swig that sweet champagne:
I'd rather drink beer all night,
In a tavern or in a honky tonk.
I want a four-wheel drive tailgate.
I've got posters on my wall of Skynrd, Kid and Strait.
Some people look down on me,
But I don't give a rip.
I stand bare-footed in my own front yard,
With a baby in on my hip.
'Cause I'm redneck woman, an' I aint no high class broad.
I'm just a product of my raisin': I say: "Hey y'all" and "Yee Haw!"
An' I keep my Christmas lights on on my front porch all year long.
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song.
So here's to all my sisters, out there, keeping it country.
Let me get a big "Hell, Yeah" from the redneck girls like me:
Hell, Yeah.
(Hell, Yeah.)
"Victoria's Secret", well, their stuff's real nice.
Oh, but I can buy the same damn thing,
On a Wal-Mart shelf, half price.
And still look sexy, (Sexy.)
Just as sexy,
As those models on TV.
No, I don't need no designer tag,
To make my men want me.
You might think I'm trashy:
A little too hard core.
But in my neck of the woods,
I'm just the girl next door.
Baby, I'm redneck woman, an' I aint no high class broad.
I'm just a product of my raisin': I say: "Hey y'all" and "Yee Haw!"
An' I keep my Christmas lights on on my front porch all year long.
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song.

Not me, but a friend of mine:
alright.....a redneck is not a hick, by definition, atleast my groups, a hick is a person who fawks someone is their own bloodline. i am a redneck and most of my friends are rednecks and ill tell you right now none of us have nor will ever fawk someone in our bloodline. so therefore a redneck aint no fawking hick. a redneck is simply a person who enjoys a different type of lifestyle from typical city folk. we are easy going and look at life wilth a carefree attitude. yes most of us carry shotguns but we are not uptight. and no i dont have a physically red neck. just thought i would post my opinion.

hmm... When I hear "redneck" I always picture one in the most traditional sense.
Someone with a p.o.s. pickup truck with plenty of rust and Jesus bumperstickers, jacked up about 6 feet higher than what is normal parked in the driveway; a confederate flag hanging over the garage, a bathtub full of moonshine on the lawn (well... maybe not on the lawn); shotgun or two inside, missing a couple teeth, plenty of okra and venison in the fridge (and a little bit of rabbit and squirrel), a straw broom in the kitchen, seven or eight kids...
okay maybe not, but definitely the truck and the flag.

An overweight man with bad teeth, dirty overalls, straw hat, no socks or shoes, and is chewing wheat!

I believe the correct phrase would be "in the yard"

May as well be an honorary one. God knows we went to school with about 38249744 of them.

redneck=my town
Rednecks aren't necessarily farmers...
But they tend to be.
I would define redneck as a small town person. They don't have much culture, maybe have never been to a city bigger than 20,000.
--They are especially ignorant about different cultures and races.
--They will make fun of people that are different. Black/Gay/Bi/Latino/German. If you are a minority, you are in danger.
--Many of them like to underage drink. Then they brag about it. To the teachers even.
--Duct tape fixes life
--They listen to country music over anything
--They NEVER wash their trucks
--Many are bible belt... So they think. That's their reasons to hate gays and such... But they totally blind themselves towards to love thy neighbors and no sex before marriage bits.
--They usually have slutty girls with them. No one knows why.
--Hunters.
--Generally Republicans (No, I'm not offending anyone, but the typical ones here are republicans)
There are many more qualifications, but I didn't put them all down.
Not all rednecks follow those traits, but if you would jumble them all together, you would get a majority of those traits.
After all that said, there are some good rednecks that just like to live the simple life... The rest of them are assholes.
