The term "redneck"

[Nutriaitch]

just want to say that I am offended that you don't recognize coonasses as a group that accepts their derogatory term.

damn inbred redneck bastards got the idea from us.

we had coonass stickers and license plates 30+ years ago.
this is a new thing for them other assholes.

This is all Fact from my time in Leesville aka Sleesville, LA.

to answer your original question of "why?"

rednecks do it because they are stupid and unoriginal.

coonasses do it because we have a way of turning everything into a positive.
it's what we do. we make he best of whatever is there and figure out a way to enjoy it.

that includes turning a derogatory term and converting it into a term of endearment.

Coming from a "corndog", that doesn't mean much.

Country is "country."

Redneck and country are two different things in my opinion.

"Country" to me is living off the land, cowboy hats, country music, church on Sundays etc..

"Redneck" is close-minded, backwards, uneducated etc..

There is overlap between the two. A lot of overlap.

People who consider themselves rednecks are people you would refer to as country. Some of them are close-minded and backwards, too.

I have some non-racist "redneck" friends who are awesome people. They're incredibly smart and efficient at what they do. I respect them greatly and love going to their parties. They can throw the fuck out of a party. Any time you can get a few hundred people to go to Dresden, OH for a party, you know what you're doing.

Never turn down deer or hog cooked by a redneck, either.

White kids in the suburbs drive jacked up pick-ups and wear camo and rub skoal. It's a fad. They're ridiculous. I hate white people. If your parents bought your truck and put gas in it while you drive around blasting T-100, you might not be a real redneck.

Here, I think this will give you a good glimpse into The Redneck Mind.

Pataskala, I'm looking at you. You're six miles from Columbus. There are more camo coats in a two mile radius inside the Beechwood Trails housing development than in the entire U.S. Army inventory. Just a bunch of simple country folk livin' off their back 1/2 acre, workin' the land and fishin' in ol' man Developer's retention pond.

That's funny - all the kids now look like boy-banders....

As for Newark, every time I'm there it's a fuckin Deliverance revival or something....banjos and everything....

The Deliverance Revival is called Strawberries on the Square. If you ever need a mirror with a Bon-Jovi album cover painted on it, it's in May, I believe.

If you need the STD infested meth to get some use out of the novelty mirror, head east until you smell Michigan. You're in Zanesville.

Kyle - you're on a roll!

To answer Thump's question, I think Jeff Foxworthy had a lot to do with the wide appeal and subsequent embracing of the term.

if anyone can come up with a good explanation on how LSU fans got that nickname, I'd love to hear it.

i kinda hope it's funny, because the jokes damn near write themselves sometimes.

whoa!
i've been in every "southern" state multiple times*

been in some really backwoods redneck hell holes you can't even find on a map (90% of Mississippi fits that description) that are about 4 decades behind the rest of civilization.
and even those inbreds ain't as bad off as the PSU cult.

*except Arkansas and Kentucky. Kentucky is too far north to be the south, and fuck Arkansas.

Zanesville is the capital of North Appalachia.

This is all true. Rednecks definitely know how to party out-of-doors, and how to cook up some huge slabs of meat.

I've been to much bigger parties than that in Frazeysburg and Trinway.
