The Kentucky Yankee's definitions
A total dumbass who, ironically, calls people dumbasses when they themselves have irritating accents typical of a dumbass. Their official sport is NASCAR, their national flag is the Confederate Battle Flag (or Rebel Flag), and their national anthem ends with "...gentlemen, start your engines."
These people come in various appearances, ranging from nearly toothless and wearing overalls and a John Deere hat, to wearing Dixie Outfitters or NASCAR shirts, Wrangler Jeans, and has chewing tobacco. Many of them, including women and men, like wearing these clothing lines, and many of the women are fat ass blondes, or dirt-colored brunettes, though not all women of that description are rednecks.
Not all rednecks are racists, but a majority of them are quite intolerant or inhospitable to different cultures or races. Some in a few places even still lynch black people.
Though millions of people nationwide say "y'all" it is still a major word in the Redneck vocabulary. Other words include "whoo-doggy", "varmint", "wersh", "poke", "buggy", "coons", "chicken 'n dumplins", and "All y'alls".
Many of the guys are bastards that threaten you and then call you "boy" or "son". Lots of those girls like to taunt both guys and girls of other, non-redneck groups verbally. They try to entice the boys, and tell both sexes how the redneck girls are better (which theyre not.)
Rednecks are also people who are proud of having Confederate monuments, try to destroy anything that isn't completely All-American, fly Rebel flags outside their houses, and love putting living room furniture on their damn porch.
Various Redneck hobbies include this vehicle-involved sport called "Muddin'", drinking lots of beer and whiskey, watching NASCAR, squirrel hunting, wearing shitty cowboy boots, attending monster truck events, blaring country music out their windows, and trying to tape all the episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard.
Most rednecks don't plan on attending college anytime soon, they usually had problems in school, both academically and behavior-wise; and they would rather engage in the hobbies and activities listed above. Some rednecks even attend KKK meetings. For more information, read the other redneck definitions. (Spread the word.)

Get the Redneck mug.A very short phrase that can be substituted for getting into a session of passionately kissing someone.
This may be seen in online chat rooms when a couple hooks up on there and are pretending to make out.

Get the Makes Out Witchoo mug.by The Kentucky Yankee November 30, 2004
Get the AOL mug.This is a phrase made as a response that can be said in rebuttal to a stupid comment about something that is completely untrue. It's purpose is to sarcastically add on to the other person's fib with another lie to go with it, showing them how they are incorrect. This particular phrase is derived from the fact that Elton John is gay, and therefore saying this would mean you are lying.
RJ: Bush is a warmonger!
Ryan (Me): yeah...and Elton John's Straight!

My neighbor is a loud-mouthing piece of white-trash with nasty hair and a film of dirt built up on her skin. The rest of her imbred family lives with her. They live over 200 yards away and I can still hear that ugly laugh that those guys have....UGGH!

Get the White Trash mug.This is used in place of "what?", "huh?", or "what's that?" by many in the Greater Cincinnati Metro Area. It is said to come from the German influence here.
clerk: "Please?"
me: I said "Ma'am how much does this cost?"

Get the please mug.An institution that has existed long before the period in which blacks were experiencing involuntary servitude in the American South. It has existed since the formation of ancient empires (especially Egypt and Greece, of which the latter had WHITE slaves.) and still, unfortunately, exists today in small parts of the world.
Slaves weren't always forced into involuntary service and labor because of economic reasons (a primary factor with the European slave trade that lasted all the way until the early 19th Century.) but also because of "spoils of war." In ancient times, and during the rule of the Aztecs, many prisoners-of-war became slaves as a result of military defeat and surrender.
The first slaves in the Americas were the Native Americans theirselves, as a result of being conquered by the Aztec Empire. However, when the Spanish came over and successfully destroyed the Aztec military forces and took over Tenochtitlan (with the help of smallpox epidemics that wiped out over half the population of the 200,000 population capital), it was the Aztecs and other Native Mesoamerican peoples that became slaves. Unfortunately for the Spaniards, however, the Indians turned out to be of little use in the silver mines, and too susceptible to the diseases that the white Europeans brought over.
This is how black slavery began. By the late 1500s, black slaves were being brought over from western and sub-Saharan Africa to began working in all of the fields for the Spanish; they would be planting, growing, and harvesting all of the crops and valuable consumer resources that they contained, especially in the Caribbean Islands and Hispaniola. Many more black African slaves were brought over to Brazil by the Portuguese where they did similar work. When tobacco was discovered during the early 1600s by English settlers who landed at what became Virginia, more black slaves were brought over to work in the tobacco fields, which the harvests would be sent back to the Motherland for profit for the English colonists. Enslavement of black people in North America would spread as the descendants of English settlers gradually became American southerners in North Carolina and southern Virginia, even though slavery would temporarily exist as far north as New England. However, the furthest north that slavery would be present from the time just before the American Revolution to the post-Civil War Reconstruction era would be Northern Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware, even though those states (or the upper halves of these states) were technically northern.
The first true abolitionist movements in the United States began in the 1820s, but good, high momentum and consolidated efforts wouldn't show up until the 1850s, with the formation of the Republican Party (est. 1854) and the conflicts in "Bleeding Kansas". Though the Civil War was supposed to be over whether the Union would be preserved or the country split in two with an independent southern nation, as well as economic factors including tariffs that The North reasonably put on manufactured goods made from their labor that the South bought since they wouldn't or couldn't make it themselves. By 1863, following the Union victories at the Battle of Perryville, Antietam, and Stones' River in Tennessee, the Emanicipation Proclamation was issued, though there were some exceptions with who would and would not be freed within it. Directly after the war's end, however, Radical Republicans had finally freed all of the slaves, and were now getting them their first Constitutional Amendment rights during the Reconstruction era (1865-1877). Sadly, following this era were Federal troops were forced to withdraw as part of the terms with a presidential election conceding deal that put Rutherford B. Hayes into office. As a result, these Constitutional civil rights were not recognized or respected again until the late 1950s, where, once again, the Republicans stepped up alongside the black civil rights activists to help OFFICIALLY get them the equal rights they desperately wanted (and needed) so badly. With President Johnson forced to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964, finally granting blacks and everyone of other races their equal rights that would be protected and recognized by business owners, public places, and the government.

The Republican Party and abolitionists in North America and Europe did a lot to help end slavery during the 19th Century.
