Any Rednecks?

Full blooded, born and bred redneck here!!! I carry a Spyderco Wegner all the time.
 
I just bought a brand new Buck 110 and it came with this kick ass belt buckle. I wear it with pride. It shows that I'm a redneck and it shows my love for man's oldest tool.

Actually, if you can read them, you're not.

Dave, LOL!

A serious point, I don't think there is Anything wrong with folks calling Themselves names. It's calling other people names that is wrong.
 
I reckon me a redneck too.

Born and raised in the LAST Capital of the Confederacy. But, I sure ain't no Redneck.

If a man can keep alert and imaginative, an error is a possibility, a chance at something new; to him, wandering and wondering are a part of the same process. He is most mistaken, most in error, whenever he quits exploring.

One I always told people is that you know you are a redneck if you think Johnny Cash and Richard Petty are the two greatest Americans that ever lived...

Phillip Jones: My brother doesn't live too far from you -- he lives in Pamplin, Va.

...which is not too far from Appamattox, the famous site where Grant stole Lee's sword (and Lee was too much of a gentleman to ask for it back)

You are a redn**k if:

an anniversary gift to your wife was a trolling motor.

more than three of your cousins are named 'Bubba.'

your daily carry knife is for protection against gators.

your honeymoon included attendance at a tractor pull.


 
I will attest for dsvirsky that Antioch is about as redneck as the Bay Area gets!

Somebody give a better definition, because if all of you people from MN, OH, NJ, and NY think you're rednex, I've really learnt wrong. Here in Texas the term Hillbilly is a little more appropriate (since being a redneck these days means Confederate Flags and skinheads).

Hillbilly's me, and Buck would be the knife. Or is that just that dude from Battlestar Galactica?

Oh, by the way, that Foxworthy crap ain't funny. What's wrong with dating my cousin? Bet them duke boys would've like to smell the Daisies?

All this talk about rednecks and I ain't heard one "Ya'll" yet, shame shame brothers.

If Redneck means a love for an easy way of life, knives, guns, dogs, hanging with the guys, hate for suits and ties, can't stand pretentious people, then I guess I have a little Redneck in me; although I'm a born and bred Northerner.

Hey Elvislives?
By YOUR definition of redneck I now know that I am one. I love the Confedrate Flag but I aint no skinhead. Even though I'm from MN I was raised in Texas. So before you go off shootin' your mouth why dont you check into these things JACKASS.

Actually, it is increasingly being used as a racial slur to refer to people of the white race in general. Much like the term "we*back" is considered a racial slur.

Who Cares how other people use it? I don't!
I'm a redneck. I let my dog ride in the front of the truck, I've been seen driving a tractor down the road on several occasions. I want to figure out how to sleep without taking my pliars off. I'm going to write to the makers of duct tape and request they sell it in pocket size rolls. That and a whole lot more things that
I haven't mentioned here make me a redneck.If you have a problem with that, guess what I DON'T CARE. I guess thats another redneck thing. Not giving a damn what other people think about the way you do things. Stop taking everything so personal. Its obvious your not a redneck so why even bother reading this. Especially if it offends you? Everyone else here is having a good time and are proud of their necks. Why let it bother you when it isn't even directed at you?

As far as stigma attached to names goes, Redneck probably has the least amount attached to it.

I agree that terms like Nigger, Kyke, Wetback, Slope, Zipperhead, Chink, Dink, Spook, Gook, Raghead, Camel Jockey, and scores of others are very offensive. Hateful isn't strong enough.

The difference here, I believe, is that many Rednecks take pride in the term, just like Marines take pride in the term Leatherneck. Weird, but don't ask me to understand the reasoning, I can just appreciate the sentiment.

The key is to base on the intent and the results. If the intent is to insult, be derogatory, and cause problems, it's a bad thing. Here, I'm not going to get my drawers bunched, as there isn't worth the trouble.
