Opposite of Metropolitan. Usually found living in sparsley populated areas away from the hustle & bustle of city life. Hillbilly's don't give a shit what city folk think of them. Their apperance & what you think of them is not high on their priority list.

What is important to a Hillbilly?

1. Having a good time with friends & family
2. Not having to answer to anybody
3. Spending time in the outdoors; either in the woods or on the water.
4. Enjoying the finer things in life that money can't buy.

A Modern Hillbilly is NOT:

1. Uneducated (most have college degrees)
2. a redneck
3. white trash
4. a wigger
5. a nigger
6. poor or live in a shack

The Modern Hillbilly is a true bohemian who is not constricted by what the mainstream considers acceptable. They live by their own rules, similar to the "laws of the land".

Dude, do you know them?

Contrary to popular belief Hillbillies are no smarter or dumber then a person from the city, though Hillbillies tend to enjoy the simpler pleasures in life, are laid back, have a penchant for homemade liquor, and have their own slang words.

It is a gross misconception that Rednecks and Hillbillies are one in the same, in truth they are not.

Hillbillies in short are the American version of the true Bohemian.
A Hillbilly, and a Redneck are not the same, Hillbillies, don't date family members.

Contrary to popular belief, hillbillys and rednecks are NOT the same thing.

Hillbillys:
Live in the mountains. (hence the name) appalaichians or the ozarks.
Are from the South
Are most of the time educated, they just enjoy the simpler things in life, and dont like to live near a ton of people.
Mostly, very family and friend oriented people.

Rednecks:
In my experience, mostly come from texas.. basically the regions in the south that dont have mountains.
Are also educated mostly, they also dont like to live with alot of people around, but they are usually a little less civiliazed then hillbillys.
Can get very roudy.. (loud, kinda crazy) but all in all, both are very good people,
and both have traditional Southern values.
kid-Where's your dad?
me-My daddy lives in texas.
kid-So he's a hillbilly?
me-no, he doesnt live in the mountains, he's more of a redneck.

Get the hillbillies mug.
Apocryphal attribution to isolated denizens of Appalachian Mountains,(Eastern USA) descendants of some of the earliest Scotch-English settlers, who seem to have had some proclivity for naming their children "William" (familiarly "Bill")and some not inconsiderable inclination to incestuous sexual congress. More recently, the term is used to describe any rural resident,especially in the Southern USA and particularly those living in rather rough-hewn conditions, embracing noticably parochial ideologies and a generally hostile attitude.
When the hillbillies moved into the trailer park, they maintained their habits of firing off their revolvers at odd hours and cohabiting with their livestock.
