Someone who exaggerates their southern heritage to comically stereotypical degrees, oftentimes looked down upon in both rural and urban environments. In rural America, being a hick has the implication that you ain't really a redneck and you're dumb as a rock too. Redneck in this case would refer to having more genuine ties to southern culture. Many urban dwellers may misuse hick as a catchall for poor people from rural areas, but proper properly using hick will insult their whole family line so it's a pretty decent insult.
Self-proclaimed hicks are 100% of the time hicks, they just too dumb to realize its an insult.
A: I finna leave the backwoods if another hick moves here

A: this one bitch was fucking with my friend a while back and started dating and less than a month later got caught fucking his brother in a pig pen and when he ghosted her she got caught fucking a pig not even a week after, that's what's wrong with hicks
