What are the traits of a redneck?

I think it was EJFan that made some sort of mention about rednecks in one of the threads here but I can't seem to find it. The redneck comment has kept the wheels in my head turning (yeah, its overtaken the "measuring your penis" ideas...at least for now).

So, lets hear your thoughts about rednecks. What makes someone a redneck in your view?
A sunburn.
 
If someone yells out Hodown, and your girlfriend hits the floor...you might be a redneck!

don't get me started. if you look through the archives of my blog (hyperlink in my sig line) you'll find all sorts of redneck shit... and a pretty lengthy essay on the beast itself including how to identify one.

rednecks are a scourge. period.
 
If this is all for fun then.... enjoy the attched. If not in fun, please excuse me.

A visiting professor at Bob Jones University was delivering a lecture on the supernatural. To get a sense of his audience's reactions, he asked "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raised their hands.

"Good, good. Out of those who initially raised their hands, how many of you think
you've actually seen a ghost?" Some 40-odd students raised their hands again.

"Excellent. I'm glad to see so many here taking this seriously."

"Tell me, now, has anyone ever talked to a ghost?" 15 students raised hands. "What a wonderful response. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" Up go 3 hands.

"Excellent. But let me ask another question, an unusual one, perhaps. Did any of those who touched ever make love to a ghost?

Way in the back of the audience, one student raises his hand. More than surprised, the professor removes his glasses, takes a step backwards and says, "In all my years of lecturing on this subject, no one has ever claimed to have had sexual relations with a ghost. Please, you must come up here and tell us all about your experience."

The student nods, breaks into smirk and starts ambling towards the podium.

"Tell us, what was it like to have sex with a ghost?"

The student stops dead in his tracks. "Ghost? Sorry. From way back there I thought you said goat."

Visiting my kid's kin in AL. I noticed a few things:
Anything with an engine and seats can be used as transportation
Nit picking is a social event
'Yonder' can range from 100 feet to 70 miles
A country mile equals 10 city miles
A town without paved roads spends a lot of time under 2 feet of mud
It is possible to spend 18 hours straight playing dominoes provided there's enough beer
There are some differences in eating habits too, some good some not so good..
Rednecks eat stuff we use for bait up north; we went to a fish fry and the fish was smelt fish. To me smelt is crab bait.
Trim off the meat and eat the fat, it's the best part
They also utilize a pig to a fuller extent than northerners~fatback, hogjaw,chitlins and feet are things I prefer left on the pig. (Although they do make greens tasty)
Beer is the beverage of choice, even at breaksfast
A cooks best friend is a 'fry daddy'
Breakfast is at 6 am and is an 8 course dinner meal
Water corn bread goes with everything​
 
If you have a home thats moble and fourteen cars that aren't, you might be a redneck.

If you have ever ran car parts thru the dishwasher, you might be a redneck.

If you name your dog after a countr singer, you might be a redneck.
 
If your family tree looks more like a cactus than an oak tree, you're a redneck.

Checked out your blog, the March 24, 2005 post is hilarious. I could so vividly picture everything you wrote.

Also found the redsux/yankers comments interesting. For a long time I thought that it was only Red Sox nation hating the yankees while the yankees fans loved the torture inflicked upon us sox fans. Should be a fun post season if they both make it.

thank you.

i'm not too high on my yankees lately. must have more steroids. or somethin'. this is the same crap they pulled when i was young... starting in the mid-80's they'd load the roster with huge names but there was no cohesion. they're barely a shell of what they were 5-10 years ago... but it'll cycle 'round again. they're still the greatest team in professional sports.

Especially if it works out the same way that last year did. :nana:

watch it, MWY... i always liked you...

;)

the thing about rednecks, btw, is that all the jokes (while we may laugh at them and discount them as simple jokes) are actually very true. imagine if blondes were REALLY as dumb as jokes make them out to be... that's exactly what it's like... i swear to god.
