A hick is often thought to be a white-trash hillbilly by ignorant people who think they have the right to judge others. In reality hicks are a bit different than hillbillies or redneck but may very well be both. Hicks are very proud people, love their country and are ofter (but not always) religious. They are normally born and raised in rural country of any state although is is possible to convert to a hick from any other life-style if the person enjoys the hick life. Most hicks enjoy hobbies such as: hunting, fishing, mudding, nascar, football, taking care of animals, drinking socially,etc... It is said they are uneducated but this is simply a stereotype and many go to college. Hicks tend to be very hard working and many are farmers. Some believe in the good ol" days and are often old fashion which can result in racism. Many people mistake them as poor due to the fact that they save their money for most important priorities such as children or family, big trucks for good times, and making great memories. The things that have real value in life over money. The easiest was to find out if someone is a hick is to simply ask them, if not you will get a dirty look in return if they are the most common answer is "hell yeah!"
Hick1: "hey buddy, got the ford runnin, wana go muddin after the race?"
Hick2: "yeah man that'd be cool ill fire up the chevy incase I gota pull ya out when you get stuck"
Outsider: "hello, I over heard you two talking from across the bar, I was just wondering, are you hicks?"
Hicks: "Hell yeah!"
Hick2: "yeah man that'd be cool ill fire up the chevy incase I gota pull ya out when you get stuck"
Outsider: "hello, I over heard you two talking from across the bar, I was just wondering, are you hicks?"

A family name more common in Great Britain (England for some of you)than the name Smith. Most of the families with this name emigrated from Liverpool to the southern states across to Texas, and are well populated in California. Hicks is a short form for Richardson, and means Son of Richard. In Belgium the name is spelled Hickx, because its origin is from the French XYZ, or "icyx, igrec, zed." Richard refers to Richard the Lionheart, who was one of the French Kings who ruled England and the name is in its original French "X".
'Enry 'Iggins loses the H in Liverpudlian, in the same way that icyx is spelled with an H in front of it sometimes, but see the famous auto racer Jacky Icyx. Richard's last name was Plantagenet, but his bastard sons were named X, and some served as peers of the realm. Dr. Michael Hicks is the Editor in Chief of American Music Magazine. David Hicks is a prominent trial lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area named in 2007 as one of the top 10 lawyers in the Greater East (San Francisco) Bay by the East Bay Business Times. Robert Hicks built the cell phone systems in Belgium and Germany for Airtouch and was COO for Globalstar which put up cell phone satellites around the world. The 3 are brothers.

1. a noun; A derogatory term describing or referring to a person from a rural background or community. The noun hick usually describes lower class whites raised in rural areas on trailer parks or hog farms. Generally used more for Midwesterners and people from southern Ontario than Southerners (see: redneck)
General defining characteristics of a hick: Protestant upbringing, usually Baptist; racist and sexist opinions; does not attend collage ; dumber than a post. They often have poor grammar and drive pickup trucks. They care very little for the environment and often do not realize that their livelihood farming, is dependent upon a healthy and stable environment. However they are not solely farmers. In fact most hick's live in rural areas and live off welfare because they are too stupid to know how to farm.
They can usually be identified through the usage of the following words. Y'all, Yous (They fail to recognize that you can be both plural and singular) We's Thems, etc.
Thus they have poor comprehension of vocabulary and basic tenants of the English language.

Kerri Lee Smith: Thems people from the city are such butt fucking idiots.
Me: I can't believe how stupid my roommate is. I cannot believe she just said that yet spent all weekend being fucked in the ass, thus failing to see the irony of such a statement.
I wish she would just drive her pickup truck back to her fucking trailer park.
Further Example: (In hick writing) "Yous people turn them alarm Clocks of! Its 1:30 PM in the morning! I cant gets no sleep cuz of yous butt fucking idiots! I'm horney!"
"I pokes my urethra with a Pencil to get them bacterias out"
N.B. My Roommate Kerri Lee Smith is such a huge fucking hick. She calls all people from the city butt fucking idiots and usually demonstrates poor grammar. E.g using expressions such as "good on ya", "sure as fuck",

A word used by inner-city snobs to describe people who don't know the sushi bar menu by heart, do not have strangers living a paper-thin wall away, and won't get tanked off of one beer.

Hicks are generally found in the subparts of Kentucky, Nevada, Texas, or Tenesee. I am from Kentucky, and I have to live with them day by day. NOW Hicks generally generate themselves on racism and hate crimes. NOT ALL but most. They hate all sorts of races, but the most hardcore hicks will hate all races. The hick is generally a very embred specimen. Do not get into a fight with one at a rodeo, as you will soon find your self unconsious in the bull pen. If you must, fight one in the ghetto where at least the african-american people can grab a gun and help.
