People who live here probably use the word more than anybody else. Where do you think all the redneck jokes come from? Everybody around here has an arsenal of them.

I've called myself a redneck many a time. When I went to my brother's house (a fancy new double-wide)a few days ago, he had an American flag shaped out of Christmas lights hanging off the rails on his porch. I said to him "Yeeha. You ain't nuthin' round here if you ain't got a 'murcan flag chicken wired to the mobile home." He said, "Damn straight. It's the redneck thang this year."

I don't know anybody who would be offended by being called a redneck by a fellow redneck. If it wuz a damn Yankee, dat might be a whole nuther story.

Author: aileen [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:01:32 12/28/01 Fri we must have some imported rednecks here then ;) Those 'merican flag chistmas lights are everywhere in my neighborhood. But then this is a military community. as a tangent - I watched politically incorrect again last night. They were debating on the reduction of gas mileage by putting a flag on your car.
