Scottish "Covenanters" or Presbyterians who rejected the Catholic and Anglican churches to signify their status as Covenanters adopted wearing red neckerchiefs. They were soon called “red necks.” These same Scots immigrated to the region around Ulster Ireland and finally the new world in the American Colonies. Their descendants inhabited most of the southern and rural places of the United States.

Originally defining a person from south of "the Mason-Dixon line", can be best used to describe someone who is closed-minded, unwilling to accept others, etc. Also inbred and racist can be used to define a redneck. Usually a fan of "Blue Collar TV" and Jeff Foxworthy. Often says "Y'all".

Generally a white male from Alabama. Enjoys insulting people of an apparent lower intelligence when they themselves have managed to pull off many dumb stunts in the past that should have killed them. These activities include things like drifting and making video tapes of themselves driving cars that were cool in the seventies. Due to the rednecks ability to fuck like monkeys, most scientist outside of Alabama believe the redneck will soon become the majority in America. Rednecks have been spotted as high up as Washington State. Although the population generally wont take kind to them and drive them out of the state many states have reported a redneck problem.
God this car is sick, mint condition from '75 and she drives like a dream" "i swear to god man if you weren't already fucking your car you'd be fucking your sister you god damn Red Neck.
