Get the redneck mug.Comes from coal miners from West Virginia and Kentucky towns that were sick of the way they were being treated and converged on one town that required unions. They were called "rednecks" because most people participating in the march tied a red bandanna around their neck to signify their cause, much like wearing the pink ribbon and yellow bracelet for cancer.

Get the rednecking mug.Most of the definitions for "redneck" are written by culturally illiterate morons so I will clarify.
A redneck is a hardworking country person from the south. We are known for our hospitality. We like guns, hunting, fishing, and we are most often Christians. We are proud of both our American and Southern heritage. We are only as racist and prejudice as everyone else is to us. We are generally more accepting of outsiders than the outsiders are of us. We settle our fights like men and raise our kids not to be sensitive little wussies. We have the characteristic Good Ol Boys attitude, and despite the lies of heathen Yankees, we have deep respect for the law and our elders. Rednecks say "yes sir" and "no ma'am" an have better manners than rich city folks.

Get the Redneck mug.People found in rural New England. These people tend to be far nicer and more down to earth than those residing in larger New England cities but on the other hand they aren't very educated and don't know much about anything other than where their from. These people can be found throughout Vermont (especially south western Vermont), parts of New Hampshire and Connecticut, and in Worcester and Franklin County Massachusetts.
Bostonian In Western Mass: Those people were very nice but i don't think they had much of an education
