A form of influenza that results from catching a virus and the inflammation of the stomach and intestines, also known as gastroenteritis, and usually lasting from 1-10 days. Common symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, fever, lack of energy, and nausea. Unfortunately, the stomach flu often leads to a series of weaker stomach illnesses and diarrhea that can last for another two to three weeks, but vomiting doesn't always occur during these "aftershocks".
Even though there are no cures or vaccinations available for this, there are still home remedies, however. These include clear, carbonated beverages including Sprite, Sierra Mist, and 7-Up. In addition, there are foods that are easy on the stomach such as crackers, chicken noodle soup, white rice, bananas, and turkey. One of the best things that can also treat it is getting lots of sleep.

On August 30, 2005, the day after the poor folks in New Orleans got struck by Hurricane Katrina, I came down with the stomach flu, and it took me three more weeks after that to fully recover.

Abbreviation for Northern Kentucky University, a large metropolitan college in Highland Heights, Kentucky, just seven to eight miles from Cincinnati. Established in 1968 with just two buildings, it grew from a small state college into a large university that brought in students from dozens of countries and over 30 states by the 1980s. As of now, the usual population of students enrolled at NKU is roughly 14,000-15,000. Interestingly, the residents make up only 15% of the total student body (about 1,400 young adults). In addition to having excellent Disability Services; history, anthropology, religion, and art degree courses, Northern has one of the only three law schools in the state. Finally, it is said to actually be one of the most conservative college campuses in the entire nation.
I am enrolled as a Freshamore at N.K.U.

Another term or name for a Redneck or Southern Hick, especially one that is loyal to the Confederacy. This word is derived from the color of the jacket that Southern soldiers wore when fighting for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
The great part about calling a redneck this is that most of them are too dumb to realize that this is an insult. But that is also because no one today has ever used it frequently, if they ever have.

The stupidest phrase ever coined since crunk. This is a complete distortion of "Get It Done" as what all the other normal people say. A few other impressionable people said it also until "Git Er Done" came around. It doesn't matter where I go, I always seem to hear it.
That Redneck said: "Git Er Done means that yur encouraging some guy to do something or congradulating 'em when they do it."
Then I said: "Saying Git Er Done means that you're retarded."

I've realized what a redneck is. It seems to be almost everyone who is either of not the upmost cultural and economic standing, or someone who lacks sophistication and tends to be rather simple, yet they work hard at the same time and stand up for what they believe in. In that case, almost all of us, including myself are rednecks from time to time. Midwestrn Soldier and myself would like to apoligize for being so hard on you all.

A total dumbass who, ironically, calls people dumbasses when they themselves have irritating accents typical of a dumbass. Their official sport is NASCAR, their national flag is the Confederate Battle Flag (or Rebel Flag), and their national anthem ends with "...gentlemen, start your engines."
These people come in various appearances, ranging from nearly toothless and wearing overalls and a John Deere hat, to wearing Dixie Outfitters or NASCAR shirts, Wrangler Jeans, and has chewing tobacco. Many of them, including women and men, like wearing these clothing lines, and many of the women are fat ass blondes, or dirt-colored brunettes, though not all women of that description are rednecks.
Not all rednecks are racists, but a majority of them are quite intolerant or inhospitable to different cultures or races. Some in a few places even still lynch black people.
Though millions of people nationwide say "y'all" it is still a major word in the Redneck vocabulary. Other words include "whoo-doggy", "varmint", "wersh", "poke", "buggy", "coons", "chicken 'n dumplins", and "All y'alls".
Many of the guys are bastards that threaten you and then call you "boy" or "son". Lots of those girls like to taunt both guys and girls of other, non-redneck groups verbally. They try to entice the boys, and tell both sexes how the redneck girls are better (which theyre not.)
Rednecks are also people who are proud of having Confederate monuments, try to destroy anything that isn't completely All-American, fly Rebel flags outside their houses, and love putting living room furniture on their damn porch.
Various Redneck hobbies include this vehicle-involved sport called "Muddin'", drinking lots of beer and whiskey, watching NASCAR, squirrel hunting, wearing shitty cowboy boots, attending monster truck events, blaring country music out their windows, and trying to tape all the episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard.
Most rednecks don't plan on attending college anytime soon, they usually had problems in school, both academically and behavior-wise; and they would rather engage in the hobbies and activities listed above. Some rednecks even attend KKK meetings. For more information, read the other redneck definitions. (Spread the word.)

A complete idiot usually from the South or Texas. They often have unbearable accents. Sometimes you will see a couple of redneck brothers and it doesn't look like they have a brain between them.
Rednecks like to sit in their living rooms or front porches (which both have furniture, of course.) while drinking beer and complaining about how Mexicans and Blacks seem to be taking over their pathetic little group (meaning only a sixth of the white race.)
They think that they look, think, and live better than everyone else. Rednecks like to think that they know about politics. However, not everyone that voted for George W. Bush is a southern redneck, but many of them were. I am so glad that I neither look, talk, or think like those bastards do.

I was, unfortunately, sitting beside this redneck at my Daviess County High School auditorium when we had visitors from the New York City Fire Department come to tell us about 9-11. Then the redneck said "Now ah have to listen to his irritating Noo York ahccent." I responded with "Sounds better than a lot of people here." (True Story)
