Yep that’s Redneck

Speaking of rednecks and moonshine fueled hot rodding in the South. Love this song.

I have this classic on Capitol Starline 45 RPM. A favorite of mine.

Behind the urinals in redneck bar bathrooms is a chiller, filter and carbonator. The whizz goes though the chiller, and then the filter to remove cigarette butt residue, and then a CO2 pressure carbonator to make it foamy again. Git 'er done!

This is redneck all the way to the end, which is where the redneck really show his merit.

Kind of odd seeing a derogatory slur being passed around here on AK..off-putting

Well, yeah, but an 'ol boy ain't sensitive to such things. Heck, sometimes you see it on a hat, sometimes on a T. It's worn with what could be called a bit of pride. Now that's redneck for sure.

I don't think the term redneck is as offensive as a racial slur, since it targets a behavior or life style that anyone could have regardless of race. It's sort of like the word nerd, used to denote a person knowledgeable in some particular subject matter. Anyone could be a nerd, just as they could be a redneck. Git 'er done!

You can pick almost anything apart if you try hard enough.

It depends on what you mean by "is".

the term redneck was term used for coal miners who wore red bandanas is solidarity protesting bad working conditions, the coal mine owners considered them as trouble makers

People working outdoors doing work such as picking crops often had sunburned necks, giving rise to the term redneck as well.

Well said Spicer

I liken it to the term "Yankee". Sure there was a time when that was an insult, "Fightin Words" as it were. Eventually it became a term of pride, ala "The New York Yankees".

(Which, coming from Red Sox country may well be fightin words, but for a whole different reason than just the name Yankee )

So no, , , , , there will be no censoring of this thread for a term that has evolved in it's meaning......

Again, well said, The term "Nerd" has evolved, just perhaps not quite as far as "Geek". Nowadays there are people quite proud of being a Geek.....

I was raised on a farm. Our summers consisted of driving tractors, irrigating, harvesting, and everything in-between. Being a "redneck" was status quo. 98% of my high school classmates (1964 - 1968) were rednecks.

PS - Our school mascot was the "Indians". Still is, despite the whiners.

This is me, in my defense, the improvisation is on a car that has been taken out of circulation. I made that stand so I could move the car to the yard, it will never be repaired to be driven on public roads again. It will probably be a component donor.

Redneck was so named due to farmers in the field out in the sun. Their necks got red from sunburn. I'm from Tennessee and can see the humor in this thread. Hold my beer.
