Popular in the midwest to describe a "stupid ass motherfucker in one word."

(THIS IS THE OTHER HALF OF THE COMPARISON BETWEEN REDNECKS AND HICKS)

A Hick:
-May or may not be intelligent or somewhat educated
-Doesn't go to KKK meetings
-May or may not be imbreeded
-Wears overalls and straw hats
-Doesn't always wear shoes
-Are lucky to have a computer
-Might be seen chewing on a hay straw
-Doesn't drink beer; drinks moonshine
-Doesn't live in trailer parks like rednecks; quite a few live in suburban houses, but most live in the southern foothills, Appalachia, and vast farmlands throughout the Midwest.
-Is less racist and bigoted towards differences, but is still serious about defending whatever their particular way of life may be
-Are usually more hospitable, especially in the mountains of the South, or the massed farms of the Midwest.
-Aren't always as violent as rednecks.

A Redneck <n> - derogatory term for white laboring class. Contrary to popular beleif there are classes of people called redneck all of the country. There are however several variations
1) "hobbyist" redneck - these are the people we see on the forums. They are usually from the south. They are rednecks by choice, they have fallen in love with the "image" of the redneck. In a word, redneck posers. These rednecks are very proud of their "non-racist" status. Unfortunately more often than not new, albeit far less vehement, atitudes toward immigrants and other minorities (especially latinos) have replaced the racism that characterized earlier american history. talk to a texan about mexicans, you'll see what I mean.
2)Deep south redneck
Rednecks from the small towns of the deep south. Posess no taste whatsoever. While they have a strong sense of morals they are notoriousley bad child rearers. Most females are impregnated by 18 (I know this from experiance). Racism varies town to town. In some areas like alabamba and some parts of rural georgia it abounds, while in other areas the "new south" philosophy has replaced it.
They lean towards the republican party politically and religion (specifically PROTESTANT orthodox christianity) is large part of their lives and their ideology. Suspician of the north are northern values is widespread.
3) Luisiana coonass
Special subculture of french speaking rednecks. Excellent cooks. They are very freindly but don't allways take we...

First off, don't write about LA if you've visited for 3 days on a vacation. You don't know Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is one of the biggest cities/counties in the US (2nd largest population and all that). We have more ethnicities in one square mile of LA than there are in the entire Midwest.

Gangs? Yeah, if you go to the CPT or LBC. Not everywhere.
Hot guys & girls? Of course. We've got beaches, and we go to them. A lot. Be happy that many of us care about our appearance.
Movie stars? Yes. Jim Carrey was filming a movie down the street from me not long ago. Most movies and tv shows you watch are filmed here. In the past year, there were probably a dozen or so shot within 10 minutes of my house (Pirates of the Caribbean, the OC, Fun with Dick and Jane, etc.)
Fake people? Where are you NOT going to have them? LA people are stereotypically superficial, and its true for some and completely false for others. It just depends.
Gays, Lesbians, etc? Yep.

So traffic can be a bitch. The 405, the 110, the 710. It's frustrating, but… whatever.

There are no seasons. Always between 60 and 80. Any higher, freak heat wave. Any lower, it must be raining, which happens maybe 5 times a year.

BEACHES. They’re beautiful. If you’re lucky enough to visit LA, spend a day at a beach. Hermosa, Redondo, Torrance, RAT, wherever.

Various o...

A pejorative term for a Slovenian-American. From the German word Krainer, a person from Krain, the German name for the Austro-Hungarian province of Carniola in modern-day Slovenia. Prevalent in the Great Lakes region, the Midwest and Appalachia. Variations include griner (GRY-ner), krainer (KRY-ner) and granish (GRAN-ish), from Krainische, meaning Carniolan. Granish is specific to western Pennsylvania.

Sometimes misspelled as "Farifield" due to quick typing. Fairfield, IA is a small-ish/medium sized and populated city in the Midwest in the state of Iowa. There are very few things you can do in this town, besides walk around the "square" or goof off in Wal-mart. There is a very low crime rate, it's calm, and everybody seems to know everybody. This is a very nice town to move to, they are developed enough that we are all not Amish-esque., but not so advanced that you get sucked into turmoil. The downside has to be the harsh winters and the lack of public transportation.

Those emo-ish bands with the twinkly guitars and the hoarse vocals. Twinkle daddies.

Examples:
CSTVT, Midwest Pen Pals, Algernon Cadwallader, TWIABP, Merchant Ships, etc.
