We may not agree politically, but I thank you for reminding me to be courteous to all no matter what. That will last a whole 10 minutes, I know. But I'm always trying.
Again, thanks for your service.

I'm good on the Skyline, I've got a co-worker from your neck of the woods and I think he buys cases of the stuff when he goes to visit his folks. There is always a can in the break room cabinet. Seriously though, hit me up and I'll get some nut rolls to you.

OD it's time to party! At least that's what my neighbors said.
Unless it was "time to stop partying". I dunno. Motorhead too loud.

Poor choice of words I meant when they were live baby! I saw them and Sabbath in the same week and it was unbelievable.

This clarification just confirms my suspicions. "Redneck" as the term is used where I live, refers to working class people from the South. But, it can also be a derogatory term for someone that does something silly or ridiculous. These people normally do not like being called "Hillbillies", as this term is associated with working class people that live in mountainous areas, like Tennessee or other hilly areas North of the Southeast US. There are no mountains or hills for that matter, near my area, so there are no "hillbillies". Although people from the Northeast US usually refer to all people in this class south of their area, as "hillbillies", including people from Florida. I always thought that was strange, because there are no hills in the flatlands... Hence, no "hillbillies" in those areas.

You might be a redneck if any of your children were conceived in a bass boat.

You might be a great parent if any of your children were raised on a bass boat.

The player in your car has Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Earl Scruggs on permanent loop because you never know when you will need it as a getaway song.

Interesting and thanks for posting.

Good one Jaybird. That one cracked me up.

I've been hoping to make it up to Pincinnati this year. Never been to it yet.
Also wondering now if it will happen due to the covid still going around strong.

What the f*** is going on in this thread? I just read two pinsiders threatening back and forth to fight each other interspersed with a couple other ones comparing salted nut rolls in between. Now the two potential fighters appear to be friends while the other two are offering to exchange addresses for salted nut roll mailing.

I think I need to go to bed.

You might be a redneck if you have to fight someone to see if they gonna be your friend!

Something like this ?

So you are a Bogan!

Not really , I've never owned a flanny or a pair of moccos and I don't drink Bundy but a lot of my mates are . I wonder if Odin will let Aussies include bogans , they're not the same as rednecks but they're as close as we've got .

I like the way that bass is chasing that lure... Nice touch...

I think Odin will let it slide, they seem to be closely related.

I saw the lure in a tackle shop and thought the colors would work . Maybe my inner redneck coming out .

I have moved all about this country and have met all sorts of people. In my experience I have gotten along with all types of people. Something has changed. Could be the internet that is partially to blame.

I’ve lived out west, south, north, east, and made friends very easily that I had kept in contact for years even after I had moved on.

I did an internship south of the mason dixon line and at first I could tell they were like who’s this northerner? After a week I was partying with them. One guy and his wife also wanted me to film them having sex. Lol.

I believe that is a walleye not a bass.

For what it is worth, I call myself a redneck. I grew up in a trailer on the VA-NC line. Like NASCAR, the outdoors, and the like. Speak with a very heavy regional Tidewater/Piedmont blend accent that is specific to the area between Richmond and Raleigh. People that know the region will know what I am talking about. As part of my work, I will either turn up or turn down the accent to either disarm people or let them think I am dumber than what I am. One of my favorite sayings is to end a a conversation with "But what do I know, I am just a dumb redneck." You say it a few times and people will actually start believing you...

Rednecks are a conundrum. They are either dumb and ignorant as hell or some of the most cunning and intelligent people that you will meet. Pretty easy to spot the first group; harder with the second. Sure, you have racism involved with some of the ignorant rednecks but I would not say that it is universal or as prevalent as you would think. For the most part what I have seen are people trying to do the best they can with what they got. They might not have much, but they take pride in what they do have and who they are. I have not seen a redneck get upset about being called a redneck, as long as the caller is not trying to be a shithead about it.

Now here is the funny thing about rednecks: they are everywhere in this country. They might go by different names like country folks, mountain folks, swamp rats, hill jacks, or Floridians (sorry, couldn't resist), but they are everywhere. It is more of a shared cultural experience thing than a region thing. phil-lee has given some really good info about the etymology of the term and the origins from a southern perspective, but as with all things, things evolve over time.

So for all the folks that think that they are being funny or witty about calling somebody a redneck, it is not having the effect that you think it might. And for those rednecks (or other affiliated groups that are cousins to rednecks) that get upset for calling you a redneck, lighten up. Us rednecks have done some pretty redneck shit from time to time.

Aww come on man. Keep hope alive..pincinnati gooo!

I have always thought of 'redneck' as more of a lifestyle choice, like preppy or geek or survivalist or SJW or hippie or surfer dude or pinhead or . . .

I don't consider myself anything close to a Redneck...but I grew up in Maryland, near DC, perilously close to many large swaths of redneck compounds, and I lived in South Carolina for five years (during the whole "how dare we let women attend the Citadel?!" controversy) so I kind feel like I've paid my redneck dues. I've been to redneck parties, I've traveled in redneck cars, I've joined giant football stadiums full of rednecks in a common cause. I've gotten drunk with rednecks. I've lived, laughed, and loved with rednecks. Even the love part. Yes, it's safe to say I've made sweet love to rednecks.

For all the red state/blue state culture wars, the fact of the matter remains that EVERY single state in the U.S. has its fair share of redneck territory. Even New York, ya haters!

Rednickism is woven into the tapestry of our country, and it will never be "canceled," nor should it be. It's part of our very fabric. The issue is that just as the U.S. needs to reconcile with its rednecks, American rednecks need to reconcile with the rest of the country. It doesn't have to be this way; we can all get along.

My name is Crazy Levi and I approved of this message.

Look at all of this love!

Hey @crazylevi, as you mentioned, there are huge swaths of rednecks around here. Nap Town is the weirdest mix of rich, blue collar, redneck, conservative, progressive, etc that you will find around the DMV. Must be the water...

Ready for the Redskins to get a new name?

Perhaps: Redneck Supreme
Need to work up a cool logo.
Then form a marketing team that is keenly in touch with redneck interests and preferences in 2020.

you mean "Stern" redneck style. lol

OD....I got 6 moderation notices two days ago. Six! Try harder chumps.
