MY definition of a redneck(having recently dated one pretty close to being one):
They wear cowboy hats, cowboy boots and belt buckles big enough to be used as hub caps. They drive big ass gas guzzling trucks with gun racks and roof lights with the smiley face covers on them. They listen to Hank Williams JR or some close incarnation of him. They usually have a big wad of chew in their mouth and call women DARLIN. They'll hunt anything that moves and they drink shitty beer, usually Coors Light
THAT is a redneck.
THAT is a good ol' boy. A redneck is someone who is typically classified as uber patriotic, proud of where they're from, prioritizes "kin" above all, loves activities like paintball, shootin' shit, drinking (ok, you got that one) cheap beer, getting wasted, enjoying the simpler things in life (hello fishing! ...fishing & hunting rock), content to hang out at home or someone's home and talk about football and their "old lady" all night. Enjoys blowing shit up just to cackle about burning his eyebrows off later. May or may not have a large beer gut and a tattoo reading "CHUNKY" across it. Rednecks tend to drive pick-ups, but they're basically okay to drive whatever runs. They CAN drive whatever runs. Diesel dually F-350 King Ranch edition? ...Check. That '72 GMC Sprint with the Freddy Kruger painting under the hood? ...Check. 18-wheeler? ...Check. Rednecks are good people. But just like every group of people, a few assholes ruin the fun for everybody and that's why rednecks have such a negative connotation in some places.
I'm related to rednecks, I grew up in the heart of redneckdom, and I'm proud of my roots. Hell yeah.
