Redneck is an attitude, not a class.

(not poor redneck in CO)


The term redneck was derived from coal miners from the Virginia coal mines that attempted to unionize in the 1920's. The mine owners paid thugs to break the strike and several people where killed. As a result the miners (of which many where WWI vets) formed armed groups. To tell who was miners during shootouts the miners wore red bandanas around their necks and where first referred to as rednecks by the mine owners hired guns.
It has since been used to mean generally anyone from Appalachia. Or anyone who lives that lifestyle.

The gunfight at the end of Matewan is one of the best in any movie IMO (also IMO, anyone who disagrees is wrong, dumb, the enemy), but I dont remember the bandanas

Five hours into his first night in new york Olaf steps into a bar and orders 10 double shots of finlandia, straight up. The bartender pours 10 doubles and lines 'em up. From left to right; Olaf works down the line.

As he finishes the 10th double shot the barkeep asks "So, whatcha celebrating?"

Olaf solemly states "My first american blow job."

"well, hell;" sez the barkeep, "..let me buy yah one!"

"Noooo.. that's fine of you, but I think not. If 10 didn't kill the taste, 11 won't do any good."

I think you and Shuckins oughta compare notes.

To what lifestyle are you referring? Red bandanas around our necks? Hired by mine owners?

Thanks for playing.

"Redneck" is an attitude. An attitude derivative of the rural life. From simple and sometimes stupid ways of enjoying one's self when there's little else to do to the macabre: "Wow, I would have never thought of that" ingenuity that can define the "common" in the everyday rural American.

The same everyday common American that can kick any foreign bellybutton known on the friggin planet, OK?

The jokes in this here thread are something of a high form of flattery. I enjoy the heck out of 'em.

Wow. Now that really should be in the dictionary under 'redneck.' :)

BTW, ever been outside the US, Horn? Might be good entertainment to watch you say that in a bar in Australia, New Zealand, UK , Ireland, Germany, Russia, Norway, too many to list. ;)

as usual curval... you missed my point.  I have no problem at all with rednecks being made fun of.   I just think that colored folks are about 10 times easier to make fun of.

I figure everyone is fair game.   You are the one who doesn't.   I find it really strange that you haven't protested the hurtful and biggoted non PC jokes.

If anyone even hinted that colored folks might be excellent material for the butt of a joke you would get all fluffed up and self rightious.

just seems a tad hypocritical to me but then...

I really didn't expect any different.

I have no problem with jokes lazs.  Jokes aren't really your forte though...you are better at blaming all of societies problems on "coloured folk".

That would be entertainment? Heck no, it would be a slaughter. They wouldn't stand a chance. Besides, we've already kicked butt in some of those places :)

curval... where did I ever blame any problem (much less societies which I care not at all about) on "colored folks"?

If I have blamed certain ones of them for certain problems then it was for a good reason.   That reason being.... they were at fault.  

I find it humorous that you can say the redneck word but the "n" word burns your toungue like a hot coal.   Try to think for a change.

I have always wondered about the double standard language taboos prevelant in this country surrounding the 'n' word.

actually.. 'wondered' is a poor choice of word in itself.

restated: I have always considered the double standard language taboo surrounding the use of the 'n' word by anyone white vs the use of the same word by anyone black. it's assinine.

I've seen plenty of 'n' types, both white and black.

IMHO, we should ALL be able to call 'em like we see 'em.
