Am I a redneck?

Question

I'm starting to wonder. Here are the facts as I see them:

No Steve you're not:
- I wear a shirt and tie to work each day
- I drive a Honda Civic
- I have a Masters degree
- I do not like NASCAR
- All of my shirts have sleeves
- I've never said "Get R Done"
- I don't like country music and I only have about a half of a CDs worth of Lynyrd Skynyrd songs
- I don't think I can spell Lynyrd Skynyrd correctly
- I know that this question does not belong in the category 'Skin Conditions'

Yes Steve, you may be a redneck:
- I drink beer
- I like to sit around a bonfire once in a while
- I like to light off fireworks
- The last time I went camping and we were making fun of the upstate NY rednecks, my friends pointed out that my wearing a Metallica tshirt at the campground was kinda redneck itself.
- I think farts and burps are very funny
- I grew up in a mobile home

On a scale from 1-10, 10 being the most redneck, how redneck am I?

Answer 1

Hum....let me add this one up. You DON'T like NASCAR?!?! Shame on you! But the rest of the "nots" looks good....but whats wrong with a Metallica T-shirt?!?! I am a little concerned about the burps and farts...definitely sounds redneck to me. And moblie home? Well, that doesn't mean nothin! So, in my opinion, I agree, you are just a little bit "pink"! Give you a 3! Cheers with our beer, my friend!

Answer 2

Bzzzzz! You DID spell Lynyrd Skynyrd correctly. And I only know this because I googled it, not because I have firsthand knowledge.

Also - maybe you wear a shirt and tie to work because you have to. Wouldn't you be more comfortable in that getup you're wearing in the photo? Most men think farts and burps are funny, most also enjoy watching things explode and drinking beer. But the growing up in a mobile home is suspicious...it would help if I knew the location...and just based on your photo...I'm stumped. I must admit though - the Masters degree is a big plus on the No Steve side...hmmm....

Now that I've updated your pro-con list I have to give you a 6.5. You have redneck tendencies but can hide them when the occasion warrants.

Answer 3

I'm a former Southerner who moved to New England. I naively thought there were no rednecks up here and the closest that people would come to being one was someone exactly like you (still listening to Led Zep or Metallica at 40).

I was totally wrong about that. Up here rednecks are called "hicks", and they are more numerous than I imagined.

I think, technically, you're not a redneck or a hick, simply immature (finding humor in bodily noises is a big indicator - that may or may not "pass", so to speak :P).

Congratulations on the Master's degree!

Answer 4

5. Everyone has a little redneck in them. I like Lynyrd Skynyrd, love drinking, camping, bonfires, think burps and farts are hilarious, shop at Walmart, slept on a mattress with my older brother for a few years when we were little. But, I'm also about to go to college, live in a downtown apartment with my dad who makes $250K a year, drive a dark green ford explorer, and make fun of white trash all the time. Rednecks have a good time, so don't worry if your a little rednecky.

Answer 5

I don't know what percent redneck you are, but you put up a good defense. I almost bought it until I noticed that you know a little too much about rednecks. Where did you learn so much about redneck's, huh??? And what really gave you away was when you claimed that you never said, "GIT ER DONE!" So I'm not really sure, the verdict is still out. You might not be a redneck, but you sound like you might be a "Good Ole Boy".

Answer 6

No, you are not a red-neck. I'm afraid my friend you don't have the highly refined tastes of a redneck. My husband and I talked for 2 years before I agreed to go out with him. A little later he asked me why I took so long to say yes. I told him I thought that he was a red neck. He asked me why I thought that and I asked him, "Do you drink iced tea from a mason jar"? He answered, seriously, with a straight face, "Is there any other way"? RED NECK

Answer 7

ur just regular white trash ... not a pure-bred redneck ... with a little careful coaching and hanging out with the right people u could become redneck very quickly ... when you get to the point where you smash ur empty beer cans on ur forehead and then run across a field chasing cows with ur pants down , ur there dude.

Answer 8

the mobile home and your pic makes you a 5. you saved yourself from being a full redneck by not liking Nascar.

Answer 9

Id say 5 percent redneck 95 percent not ...actually u sound kinda cool to me lol.
