What are the traits of a redneck?

watch it, MWY... i always liked you...

;)

the thing about rednecks, btw, is that all the jokes (while we may laugh at them and discount them as simple jokes) are actually very true. imagine if blondes were REALLY as dumb as jokes make them out to be... that's exactly what it's like... i swear to god.
Somewhere, a long time ago, I posted a rant against the Yankees in which I used 26 verbs to describe what the Red Sox would do to them during a weekend series. All 26 were in alphabetical order, too. :D

Some of my best friends are Yankee fans. I don't hold it against them but I do expect empathy when I'm at cocktail parties. ;)

People have complained about draw of people for Motorcycle Weekend in Laconia for years, but I'll take a biker over a redneck any day.

agree with you... but sometimes these two cross paths. not every biker's a redneck but there ARE redneck bikers. they're few and far between though... and usually easy to identify.

I started this thread because twice a year I feel I'm in the middle of Redneck City. Don't get me wrong here, I don't have any problems with car racing and most of the fans, but I live several miles south of a race track that hosts 2 NASCAR NEXTEL cup races every year, and it seems like every redneck on the east coast of the US is here. Wal-Mart's parking lot half full with people camping, the store packed inside, people with shopping carts full of beer and hot dogs.

Guess it just not my thing. Yeeha

I was going to mention the NASCAR thing but, there are a lot of fans here......


~ok, it might be an over-generaliztion to say all NASCAR fans are rednecks but.....~

Exactly. I am not saying that all NASCAR fans are rednecks, but the races sure do seem to bring a lot of them together.

i used to work down the street from dover downes many years ago... and race weekend was pure hell. these people would make outhouses out of empty refrigerator boxes... and those were the classy ones.

there were some manly lookin' women at those races too, lemme tell ya. and when it's over, fuckin' EVERYONE thought they were dale fuck-hard junior or whoever the fuck they idolize. only problem was that once they left the track they could only go like 2mph because the traffic was bumper to bumper and stopped dead.

a good friend of mine was an EMT at the races and he told me about a moron redneck bastard who was dumb enough to try to put up a giant metal pole (for a scanner antenna maybe?) in a field. it was too long, he was too drunk, it hit a power line and he was fried! natrue's way of weeding out the stupid.

so, no, not EVERY nascar fan is a redneck but i assure you that there aren't many in that category.
 
Is there a correlation between the popularity of NASCAR and road rage?
 
If it hasn't been said already, where's Jeff Foxworthy when you need him? I think he's covered every trait to being a redneck that there is.

My favorite Foxworthy line is one that is more universal than his shtick on rednecks:

"Getting married for the free sex is like buying a 747 for the free peanuts."
 
speaking of foxworthy...i really love the material of bill engvall, a co-conspirator in the blue collar comedy tour.

Agreed, though I have moments when I like all four of those guys. Of the four, Engvall's stuff hits home most often for me.
 
ditto that. i don't generally like larry the cable guy, but he does roll out some good stuff now & again. although someday, somebody has to explain to me the deal with "get 'her done".

straying slightly back on traffic: i live in the NY/philly metro area. almost everybody else is a redneck to me. :D

Hell, I come from north of you...to me, you're a redneck. :D

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Ron "Tater Salad" White. :D

ron white is the only one o' those guys i can tolerate, quite frankly. foxworthy was entertaining for about 15 minutes, ten or twelve years ago. now he's just milkin' it and gettin' redneck money wherever he can... which shows, again, how stupid these people are. his wife's hot though!

a good friend of mine suspects that we made a huge mistake 140 years ago... we should've let the confederacy secede and be done with it. they're dragging us all down with their backward ass, non-progressive, bible-thumping, gay-bashing attitudes.

ME too! I just LUV that man....... he makes me laugh :D
I like Bill Engvall too... with his "here's your sign" lines.

jeff just isn't as funny anymore... and Larry overplays is redneck-ness :rolleyes:
(have to admit that I AM going to see Larry at the Canfield county fair here in Ohio Labor day weekend tho...... go figure *shrugs*)

Like the Redneck Grand Canyon!!! :rolleyes:
 
two physical characteristics i see MOSTLY in women...

an overbite

and

that nasty, discolored, leathery skin on the elbows because no one ever showed the bitch how to bathe properly. the really hardcore redneck chicks have knees like that too.

yuck.
