well, I have no idea why you are putting this question in singles a dating, but.....
Rednecks refer to the cotton-pickers down south. They would get sunburned on the backs of their necks from picking cotton all day....hence the term, REDNECK! :)

Redneck Origin

dumb labor workers work outside and thus have sunburned necks
"A popular etymology says that the term derives from such individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the sunlight over the course of their lifetime. The effect of decades of direct sunlight on the exposed skin of the back of the neck not only reddens fair skin, but renders it leathery and tough, and typically very wrinkled and spotted by late middle age. Similarly, some historians claim that the term redneck originated in 17th-Century Virginia, because indentured servants were sunburnt while tending plantation crops."

Down South they drive pick up trucks. The name comes from the sun shining through the back window of the truck turning the driver and it s passengers necks red(sunburned.)
