Get the redneck mug.American person of the white race that generally comes from a rural background (though not always) who is non-college educated (or acts like it) and deeply resents any person from any group that is not his or her own. Tends to enjoy racism, four-wheel drive pickup trucks, guns, flag-waving, and ultra right-wing politics. A Redneck may also belong to an ultra-conservative Christian sect (non-drinking Redneck type)or white racist group. Rednecks almost always work in manual labor and tend to frequent Wal-Mart, Bass Pro Shops, fundamentalist Christian churches, and small-town taverns.

Get the Redneck Shuffle mug.Rural New Yorkers from any point in the state west of the Adirondacks and Catskills ("Midwest" NY residents, as opposed to NYC residents, Long Island residents, Westchester County residents, and Upstaters)).
Generally referred to by urban New Yorkers as "upstaters", and by southerners as "yankees". Neither of these groups actually has a clue as to who or what ANYBODY is, if they live over 150 miles away from themselves, since they have never been, nor will they ever even attempt to go that far from their own familiar territory because it would be too much like getting out of their comfort zones.

Get the Redneck mug.If your from The Northestern United States where life is highly competitive then a Red Neck is a Patriotic Prig who is also a Racist. He is the enemy with whom all Minorities must contend. And Yankees don't fratinize with the enemy because they take life entirely too seriously.
If you're from The Southeastern United States where Life is generally laid back then a RedNeck is a country hillbilly who minorities feel uncomfortable being around but will work with if they must. It's just too much trouble to keep up with your enemy.

For many Yankees Jeff Foxsworthy is no more a typical Redneck than Richard Pryor was the typical Negroe even when he described himself with the 'N' word. Both are to be regarded only as comedic relief. A true RedNeck was, at one time, George C. Wallace. REMEMBER how the IVY league students greeted him back in the 1960's!
To many Southerners Jeff Foxworthy and the Dukes of Hazard County ARE true RedNecks. All other Conservative Whites is just plain folk.
