Answer 2

The expression 'red neck' comes from the 1800s in America and refers to anyone who works out of doors and whose neck turns red with the sun.

In modern English usage, 'red neck' usually means a person of working class or blue collar origin of the Southern States of the USA. The expression is not used much if at all here in UK, except in regard to a type of not very nice and possibly racist person of the South USA.

The very best ever portrayal of a 'red neck' is Rod Steiger in a movie called "In the Heat of the Night", also starring the aristocratic Sidney Poitier. Steiger plays a full on 'red neck' racist copper of the worst order. His performance is extraordinary.
