The act of living in a urban area of Howell,MI and thinking your from the deep south. Howell Hicks like to wear their boots, wear flannel shirts and are most know for their Confederate flag on their belt buckles,hats and trucks. Most of the "Hicks" are extremely racist even though they probably haven't seen a black man in person their whole lives. These "Hicks" chew tobacco while in the presence of other hicks but when they are alone they wont touch the stuff. If you ever run into a uneducated,racist individual they might be a Howell Hick.
