blue collar: "we cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us."

Someone who works in a small shop, factory, construction site, plant, or travels for contract work. Could be unskilled heavy manual labor. Like throwing a shovel. Skilled heavy manual labor, like hot tar roofing. Unskilled widget assembly line work, or skilled custom heavy manufacturing, or any support roles for these things. Wages range from disgustingly low to disgustingly high. Normally a blue collar worker's worth is directly related to what and how obscure his skills are. How in demand his skills are. And how unpleasant and dirty the work is that these workskills need applied. An electrician gets paid a lot more than a landscaper.
"Bill is a blue collar guy. He never went to college, but can work metal like a goddamn artist. His job pays him pretty well for it. But he comes home nasty every day."

Blue collar does NOT simply refer to working class people. Blue collar workers are working class people whose jobs consist of MANUAL labor.
A white collar worker may also be a member of the working class. In some cases white collar workers make less money than blue collar workers.

Have you seen Jeff Foxworthy's "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour"? It is hilarious! I nearly wet my pants laughing so hard!

adjective: working class. I don't know how it became OK to equate blue collar with redneck. I was born and raised just a few miles west of Manhattan (I'm from New Jersey); I don't wear a mullet or a wife beater; I don't drive a pickup truck; and I am an unabashed and unashamed liberal. I am not a redneck; I am blue collar, a member of the working class, and damned proud of it.
redneck: ah hate niggers, jews, catholics, librals, commies, rich people, and anyone else who's not like me.
blue collar: I work with my hands to create the goods and services that people in my community need. I may be of any race, gender, religious belief, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. Without people like me, this country would cease to exist as we know it.
"I work, therefore I am." Rene Descartes, philosopher and laborer
