When you use the term "dabnabbit"....?????

Question

What category does that place you in?????

countrified or redneck?????

Answer 1

countrified. Rednecks usually cannot express more than 2 syllables because they are drunk. Besides, rednecks follow everything with a "hoop and a holler"....

Answer 2

I think that places me in the Duke family,
in Hazard County, Georgia...which all
countrified rednecks know, is a category in itself.

Answer 3

I'd place it with countrified. I also try to use it to show children there's a better substitute for profanity to get their point across.

Answer 4

That word is used when I don't want someone to hear that I'm about to say a really bad word. So, I use that word instead now, being that I was born back in the hills I'm thinking it's country? Which I guess you could call redneck or hillbilly.

Answer 5

a countrified redneck.

Answer 6

countrified....

In order to be classified as a redneck, you would have to say something like, "Well I used-a could"

Answer 7

Redneck, in modern usage, predominantly refers to a particular stereotype of individuals living in Appalachia, the Southern United States, the Ozarks, and later the Rocky Mountain States and the Central Valley of California. The word can be used either as a pejorative or as a matter of pride, depending on context.
Usage of the term redneck generally differs from hick and hillbilly, because rednecks reject or resist assimilation into the dominant culture, while hicks and hillbillies theoretically are isolated from the dominant culture. In this way, the term redneck is similar to the word cracker.


Hillbilly is a term referring to people who dwell in remote, rural, mountainous areas. In particular the term refers to residents of Appalachia and later the Ozarks in the United States. Usage of the term "Hillbilly" generally differs from other terms referring to rural people in the United States in that it can be used for mountain dwelling people anywhere but is generally not used to refer to rural people in non-mountainous areas. Further, terms like redneck and cracker, often connote rejection of, or resistance to assimilation into the dominant culture, while hillbillies theoretically are merely isolated from the dominant culture. Nevertheless, the term is sometimes considered derogatory depending on the context in which it is used or the attitude of the target.


Hick (also country hick or country bumpkin) is a derogatory term for a person from a rural area.
Popular etymology says the term derives from the nickname "Old Hickory" for Andrew Jackson, one of the first Presidents of the United States to come from rural hard-scrabble roots. This nickname suggested that Jackson was tough and enduring like an old Hickory tree. Jackson was particularly admired by the residents of remote and mountainous areas of the United States, people who would come to be known as "hicks." The Oxford English Dictionary says it was "by-form" of the personal name Richard (like Dick) and Hob (like Bob) for Robert.

Answer 8

I think the correct word is "dagnabbit". It puts you in the ategory of countrified geezer, or countrified coot.

Answer 9

Whenever I watch reruns of the Beverly Hillbillies. Dagnabbit. Must be a difference in regional dialect. I have never heard it as "dabnabbit". You must be one of those uppity folks in the double wide trailers. We poorer folks call it "dagnabbit" in the single wide section of the park. Just another glaring example of gentrification.

Answer 10

Gosh, thats a tuff one. Darn, I wish I knew. Jeepers, I thought I was smarter than that.

Actually, neither, we're talking deep woods Kentucky or West Virginia.
