I'm in Tennessee, EVERYONE around here says y'all, including me. My girlfriend is korean and I think she is on of the world's few asian hillbillies

We use a lot of the hillbilly slang on purpose...much like how a lot of black people use ebonics. For instance, we say "sammich" (sandwich), "bigin" (big one), howdy, on purpose just for giggles. We speak with a twang on purpose a lot too.

Well now... How many people think that red neck is a nationality??
When I moved here from Ohio, I asked a frend of mine if one of his nationalities was red neck (kinda testing his intelligence) he had the nerve to tell me, "that he got it from his dad's side of the family".
Never quite looked at southerners the same.

More importantly, what do people consider a red neck? I'd love to hear this one! Many people not from the south still think we ride horses everywhere, LOL!

IMO "Red neck" is an attitude. A style if you will. Comperable to "prep" or "yuppie".
There is country, and then there's redneck. Country is, well country. IMO country is a good ol' fashioned, what gramma taught, kinda simplicity. Red neck is a more "uneducated" country.
Red Necks are folks who LIVE in the country, but have to many unsupported opinions. For example, and this is ONLY an example not a profile, but racism. If I meet somebody from the country who is an OBVIOUS racist, my first impression is red neck. Potatos shooters, ---- fights, 5 cars that don't run in the driveway... Ooohh Jeff Foxworthy pretty much nails it!!
Hard working, horse riding, fence fixing, cow milkers aren't red necks IMO, they are country.
That is my perspective on what a red neck is.

Hey Tizzo, I think ignorant is ignorant. And racist is racist. I know some rednecks that would give you the shirt off their backs, no matter your color. I figure that was a generalization, but it seemed kinda broad. I'm off the soap box now.

Use "juicy" in a sentence. Hey, "juicy" all the stuff on that food bar?

lol, i completely agree with tizzo. Redneck is wearing a rambo costume to your sister's wedding. You know you're a redneck when you've been married three times and still have the same in-laws. You may be a redneck if your family tree has no forks.
