A giggle is long overdue, so here’s some redneck humor sent to me by the DARH-ling Stephen. As these are mainly found photos they belong here. I wondered if the word was spelled redneck or Red Neck or red neck or Redneck. According to the AP stylebook:
redneck: From the characteristic sunburned neck acquired in the fields by farm laborers. It refers to poor, white rural residents of the South and often is a derogatory term.
I don’t consider redneck a bad word, or people called rednecks bad people. The universal asshole rate is about same for all groups, thus some rednecks are assholes.
Further, if these pictures were labeled “Yankee Engineered” or “New England blah blah blah” they would be free of the regional bias redneck has. Both thrifty yankees and rednecks are working class white people doing the best with what they have and having fun doing it. But the thrifty yankee thinks he’s superior to the redneck, whereas the redneck thinks ALL yankees are assholes. Thus the yankee is a bigger asshole than the redneck.
