What is a 'redneck' & how do I recognise him. Should I avoid him or buy him a drink?

Answer 1

The definition of a true redneck.....Being a redneck is being proud of your roots and a true love for your father’s name. Where family and friends are first and strangers are just a vague, dismal blur in the distance. Rednecks are good ol' boys/gals who usually live in the south (usually in the country) and also tend to have a southern accent. Their necks are red and maybe their arms, too, cause they work hard and out in the heat all day.The group that is ridiculed by most, but deep down envied by all. Some types of rednecks may be cowboys/girls, mountain men/women, country boys/gals, and or hillbillys. Big truck tires, huntin’, fishin’, tractor pulls, country music, Charlie Daniels, and rebel flags are just a few words that might describe a redneck. They usually drive pickup trucks with loud sounds that can usually be heard before seen, and they also tend to blare country music from their radios. They usually add a CB radio to their truck and may have a gun rack in the back and an ol' rebel flag flyin from the antennae or posted on their front or back winshield. It is hard to figure these people out. Most people just can’t understand how you can have such a weird lifestyle of cowboy hats and buckles. Many Rednecks love the ol' T.V. show called "dukes of hazzard" and western shows. They are very laid back and tend to piss people off when they drive too slow or too fast down the road in their ol' pickup trucks. They love women/men (preferrably Cowgirls/boys), country music, wearin' jeans, wearin' boots (may be leather), wearin' a cowboy hat, yellin' yyyyyeeeehhhhhaaaaaawwwwww! out loud, shootin' the bull (talkin and telling some stories), fishin', huntin' watching wrestlin', watchin' or goin' to NASCAR races, watchin' baseball, or watchin' football. Rednecks may also like the rodeo. They love ridin’ horses or bulls, or ropin’ calves. Most Rednecks can usually be found at or off your local gravel road, in Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and maybe even in other southern states. They will be found on or near your local farm, at a bar (playin pool), local rodeo event and or stock show. The Redneck diet may include t-bone, tender loin, beef, beef stew, cajun food, Burger King, pizza, and maybe some good ol’ peach cobbler fer desert. Things that make a redneck mad: somebody stealin’ his healthy horse, making a promise which you can’t keep, cuttin’ down rodeo evernts, and much more. Things that really piss a redneck off is: stealin’ his cowgirl, a male hitting a female, a male cheating on a female, child abuse, abortions (child killers), beatin’ up his haas(word which means buddy), messin with his family, and much more. I tell ya, most rednecks like to fight for their woman and/or to defend their own honor. And i guarantee you if a true redneck sees you do one of the things in this list that redneck will whoop your @ $ $ right then and there Rednecks know how to treat women. Rednecks know how to respect, love, and care about females. True Rednecks love females for who they are and would never cheat on them. A True redneck would never hit or injur a female. White trash lies to females, cheat on them, beat them, get them pregnant and then leave them (A redneck believes a white trash person like this should be hung by their "YOU KNOW WHAT")
So if you meet one, buy them a drink don't avoid them.

Answer 2

It depends on the person. There are good and bad people in all social groups.

And just because someone is Southeastern does NOT, I repeat DOES NOT make them a "redneck." First, you have to be light enough to get sunburn (that's where the term is from) and second, you would pretty much have to define yourself as one. I personally would rather die than be called a redneck, as 1) I'm half Native with olive skin and 2) I don't call myself one nor do I act like one. Be VERY careful using the term.

Answer 3

You know you're a redneck when you go to a family reunion to find a bride.
You know you're a redneck when you drive to school in the first grade.
Take this test and if you answer all the questions right either for yourself or for someone else you will know:

And if you either are or know a redneck, buying a drink doesn't matter because the moonshine covers it.

Answer 4

Actually there are two kinds of rednecks the first you could buy a drink he is funny, puts on no airs what you see is what you get, and can have a conversation with he might learn something from you as well as teach you a thing or two. The second I would not mess with because they will not tolerate anything they don't believe in, they think they know everything and if it is not already in their head it is not coming in. The first kind has a welcome grin on his face when he meets you the second kind has that look like you think your coming here and doing what?

Answer 5

A redneck? I live in an area surrounded by them and they are just another addition to the downfall of our society.... AVOID THEM!! How do you recognize them?? They wear durty smelly clothes with grease and oil covering their hands and clothes... another way to tell they are rednecks is by what they talk about .. they are usually talking about engines or talking smack obout people because of the color of their skin........ They will also start fights with people who don't look like them or smell like them.... so if you see one you might want to go roll around in mud and start talking about cars....... oh and make sure you say every racists word you've ever heard and then you will be a God to the redneck community... They are the reason why so many of us are hated by people of other races..... A famous Redneck?? George W. Bush

Answer 6

Ta Da! I am 100% redneck and hands down the best dirt road driver! I can cut 6 donuts in my jacked up 4X4 with 6 girls in the truck and never spill a drop of beer before heading back to the trailer park.

Answer 7

"Redneck" is an offensive term usually used by urban people to describe rural people who work on the farm all day long and therefore get red necks from excessive sun exposure.

Many people in Northern USA believe Southerners are rednecks but many Southerners live in urban area, e.g. Atlanta or Miami.

Answer 8

A redneck will have a pickup truck or a raggedy car. They are not necessarily poor but material goods are not a priority. They might have a bunch of crap piled on their porch. They mow their own lawns and cut their own wood. They make good friends. They will like NASCAR and might smoke. You should buy them a drink. They will hate city people and will call them "cidiots." They can be nice people.

Answer 9

Rednecks love their beer, guns & NECKCAR racin.

If you were a dentist, you could probably retire on performing dental work for a single family of rednecks.

However, just becuase one may be a redneck, that doens't mean that they are a bad person.

Answer 10

Just a personal observation...

Those who drink a lot have rednecks.

My father drank a lot and his neck was indeed red.

Though the term is talking about country people who considered uncultured, I think it mainly applies to people with rednecks who don't act right.
