It isnt clear where the term comes from, most now consider it to be workers from the south. It has become a very negative term, at least in many eyes. I mean I hate nascar, havent hunted in 30 years, have a degree, and I consider myself a redneck.
Redneck- person (mostly) from the south who doesnt care what you think of them. Tend to be loyal as dogs and likely has one.
