A red neck is an unsophisticated rural person. They used to be called hillbillies. They are supposed to like country music, drive pick up trucks, have 4 or 5 dogs, and drink beer.

It's generally used as an insult. A stereotypical "redneck" is usually from the southern states, drives a pick-up truck, listens to country music, usually lower class white people. Also sometimes associated with being racist. Again, it's a derogatory term used to generalize a group of people.

A cliche: Driving pick up trucks with a rifle in the back, voting for Bush or worse, very patriotic, not very bright, extremely opinionated when it comes to Darwinism (is all a darned lie), abortion (kill the doctors) or liberal values (hang the swines),shallow gene pool, listening to Country & Western, farmers, more to be found in the south of the US, see also "hicks", "hillbilly"

Red necks in the south of the U.S. is used to refer to those who farm and therefore get sunburn on the back of their necks. It is insulting because it degrades those who very hard for very little.

Rednecks are the southern hicks that were chasing the Top Gear Presenters in the last Episode - when they went to the States and decided to drive through Alabama with gay slogans on the sides of their cars!
