No Hate Here: How do you define "redneck"?
How do you define it?

I used to have my definition, but I'm not quite sure such a thing as redneck even exists anymore.....

2. I'm gonna go with the traditional answer...
if you work at a job where you're out in the sun and you get a sunburn on your neck...then you're a redneck. That's it and that's all.

8. Obnoxious pickup truck with huge tires.
Confederate flag on the back window. Dogs in the back. Plastic bull testicles hanging from the towing thingy. Bush/Cheney sticker on the bumper.


You know one when you see one.

10. Our current culture in this country
It IS the mainstream
"Redneckism...it's not just for toothless hicks anymore!"
and that's a goddamn shame
