Do You Consider Yourself a Redneck?

[cch5432]

Umm, if this is inappropriate, than I am sorry. I'm just bored.

 

What is a redneck anyways? Anyone have any redneck jokes?

[HammerTime]

Nope for me. :lol: Should have made it public.

The very first Foxworthy album, when the "you might be" was still original and funny was the best.

 

You mow your lawn and find a car.

 

People come to your house mistakingly thinking you are having a garage sale.

 

If going to the bathroom at night involves shoes and a flashlight.

 

Of course since that first album, he has essentially become a millionaire off that ONE joke. But that first album was the best.

Don't even get me started on rednecks...:mad:

 

:lol: ...and just so we're clear, there is a big difference between someone who has an accent, doesn't work in an office and enjoys the outdoors versus someone who has a mustache, wears camo and is consciously a jerk to fit their image. And I emphasize jerk.

I heard an interview with Jeff Foxworthy and he was talking about how rednecks were not just a country thing, that he considered a redneck someone who did not succumb to the social norms like trendy clothing. He said there were rednecks in the big cities, small cities, and rural America.

 

I personally do not consider a redneck a bad person, I think of it more like a "good ol' boy". Someone who doesn't buy a style of clothes just because some movie star was seen wearing it, someone who is not always politically correct, and tends to just call things as they see it.

 

By my above definition, I would say that I am a redneck:

I wear Carheart jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and baseball hats. I cut my own hair, very short. I hunt and actually eat what I kill. I am not two-faced, if I don't like you you will probably know it. I don't use politically correct catch phrases. If I consider you a friend, then I will just about do anything for you, and if I have something you need then you won't need it for very long. directions to my house contains the phrase, "turn on the dirt road".

 

If this is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Sorry, but I'm a city slicker.

I agree with Ram. If loving every song skynyrd ever wrote, not buying 60 dollar T shirts, wearing jeans that have holes in the knees because you wore them too long not because you paid extra money for them, living on a hill so large that if you don't drive a 4 wheel drive truck your gonna walk up it all winter,wishing you could have met Waylon Jennings and feeling most comfortable in a pair of jeans,boots and a white t shirt makes a person a red neck then I suppose I am.

 

I feel like I fall under the "good ol' boy" category that ram described. My friends vastly out number my enemies. I call people I don't know mamm and sir and I open doors for ladies.

 

I love nice things just like everyone else but don't need them at all to be happy.

 

90 percent of the parties I attend involve a field, a live band and a huge fire. I guess you could say I have a little redneck in me. Atleast a little Honkey.

[HammerTime]

Besdies the fact that you drive an SUV with 22 inch rims on it with subs. :lol:

haha

I said I like nice things !

 

I'd buy some rims again because they look nice. Thinking back though, the subs were a phase. I wouldnt do that again. Too much money for something I didnt use much.

 

I guess I'm the Urban Honkey.

See, what's wrong with this? I can agree with virtually all of this, if this makes you a bad person, then I don't know what a good person is.

[MBWC41]

Also. Anyone who relpies to this thread obviously owns a computer. That takes us all out of the running for being a true redneck. If we were true rednecks we would be claiming that computers were the tool of the devil and ruining the world.

[Watusi]

I'm a redneck.

Ram, I think we come from the same area. Around here what we described is pretty normal. In a larger city we may be considered rednecks. A persons definition of a redneck depends a lot on what part of the state they are from.

I can agree with that. Some people from different areas of the country tend to think a redneck is a racist and feminist. I don't see this as the case, like I said I think of a redneck as a good ol' boy. But, I guess it is a subjective definition.
