Actually, the Northern equivalent of a redneck is often referred to as a
Hillbilly, or a ho-billy as my family calls... umm.. themselves for some reason. My brother is a redneck. My cousins are mostly hillbilly. The difference? My brother was raised in the south. My cousins were raised in the north. I'm a... well I'm just a freak of nature. K. tricky wrote: > Kinda what I thought for redneck , didnt know it was so regional.

scribbled this interesting note: >What exactly is REDNECK ? Rednecks come in all kinds of social strata. I happen to have, for much of the year, a red neck since I often work outdoors. Some have stated that rednecks are prejudiced. Many are. Many aren't. Redneck is a southern US term for a kind of persona found all over the world. 'Round these parts I often call 'em Bubbas. Rednecks are usually polite, they sometimes have quaint tendencies such as the habit of opening doors for the ladies (or women, as many ladies prefer to be called), they often have strong opinions (some rightfully earned, some not)-in short they are much like everyone else, and oftentimes just as misunderstood. But don't feel sorry for rednecks. Just like everyone else, they are free to change their ways...if they want to!:~) >What Specificly when compared to SHAG ! > You don't need any help in deciding what kind of person Shag is.

Ok, a redneck is open to interpretation but generally is someone of limited
education or class, who thinks a doublewide is a palace, a '68 Impala on blocks is lawn art, that Dale Earnhart sits at the hand of God (or is God, depending on if you were a fan of his before he died or not), and flannel and a can of Skoal is a fashion statement. For more details, listen to Jeff Foxworthy. Rednecks are NOT a regional thing. Now a Yankee, that is a different story. Outside the US, all Americans are Yankees. In the US, people born and raised above the Mason-Dixon line and adhere to certain "Yankee" traditions...tight with money, suspect of anyone NOT a Yankee, and possesses a certain smugness about living in the area of the birth of the nation... are Yankees. Hillbillies are simple folk, watch Nick @ Nite for more details. Hillbillies are as far as I know, a Southern thing too. Hillbillies in the North are called "hicks." People who are from the southern North (confused yet?) and want to act like they own the world are called "flatlanders." Mineral spirits are things like turpentine, paint thinner, etc. Gas (petrol) this week is running $2.15 for 87 octane, $2.45 for 93 octane at my local Irving station. We spell tyres with an "i" but some pronounce it "tars." Those big things that carry things are trucks, not lorries. Lorries are attractive blonde country singers. I think that is it.

Yeah - it was bug adventures that made me want to clarify what rednecks
thought of themselves ! I guess if I were in the US, I would fit in nicely as a redneck (from what I have read so far ). I tend to think of myself as having an alternative lifestyle !
