1. a noun; A derogatory term describing or referring to a person from a rural background or community. The noun hick usually describes lower class whites raised in rural areas on trailer parks or hog farms. Generally used more for Midwesterners and people from southern Ontario than Southerners (see: redneck)
General defining characteristics of a hick: Protestant upbringing, usually Baptist; racist and sexist opinions; does not attend collage ; dumber than a post. They often have poor grammar and drive pickup trucks. They care very little for the environment and often do not realize that their livelihood farming, is dependent upon a healthy and stable environment. However they are not solely farmers. In fact most hick's live in rural areas and live off welfare because they are too stupid to know how to farm.
They can usually be identified through the usage of the following words. Y'all, Yous (They fail to recognize that you can be both plural and singular) We's Thems, etc.
Thus they have poor comprehension of vocabulary and basic tenants of the English language.

A derogatory term for certain rural dwellers used to play up the overrated hype of urban conformity. Hicks reject modern doctrines of chasing class, sophistication, and materialism either outrightedly, or because they can't be bothered with venturing out of their simple yet humble lifestyles. They tend to not worry about insignificant things like trends and fashions and sometimes walk into the bank wearing their "shitkickers" to enjoy disgusted reactions. They are often called old fashioned but know that the urban community established by capitalist bankers and freemasons with too much money and power is only a temporary thing that like most fads will go out of fashion in due time. Too one's disgust, "City slickers" and urbanites who are generally regarded as being more refined or worldly have earned more favorable names like "gentleman", "intellectual", "beau", and "smoothy" mostly due to the fact that they, the ones in control of urban hubs and centers are also the ones in control of mass public influence, and the English language for that matter. After all, the country people are responsible for the bucolic plague!
