Don't listen to James, his description of a redneck is stupid and untrue.
A redneck is a person who
- has Christmas lights on their front porch all year long
- never cuts their hair
- hunts nearly all the time
- wears hipster clothing
- has an insanely big country accent
- can't spell (or for that matter, speak correctly)
- lacks social skills
- missing a few teeth
- drinks beer all the time
- etc
Which is why I'll never be a redneck. :D
And noooOOooo, living in the south does not make you a redneck.
Damn northern city slickers and yer fancy name callin' and such.
