Just wondering? I definatly do consider myself a hick/hilbilly/redneck. Here see is how I know:
-My uncle lives in a trailer with an attatched porta potty for a bathroom (an “addition” to him) and the foundation is a jeep and a ford pinto.
-We have a spitoon in our living room and bathroom
-we inspect road kill to see if we can get us a few bucks off it
-our yard consists of scrap lumber and 6’ high weeds
-chrismas/thanksgivin dinner is enchaloda’s
-Words like, yon, yote(s), yonder, learned, schoolin, tarnation, yeller, yeller belly/ied, moonshine and idget are a few of the common words im my daily vocabulary (which was pointed out by teacher)
-I do eat grits (yum)
So I spose I be a hick what 'bout ya’ll? (that’s trying to type like I talk!)
Naw man, and I live in IDAHO.
One time I was with some people and one of 'em wasn’t from Idaho, and we were talking about Idaho, and this one girl said, ‘People in Moscow aren’t like stereotypical Idahoans, everyone doesn’t drive around a huge dirty truck with a giant gun rack on it,’ and RIGHT AS SHE SAID IT, a huge dirty truck with a giant gun rack on it drove past. It was SO FUNNY.
Haha!
I guess I’m more of a hippie then anything else but I live in the most redneckiest quadrent of all Washington state. I don’t fit in very well… And I like cornmeal better then grits. I don’t know why tho…
I’m totally the same.
Except for cornmeal and grit, I don’t even know what that is…well, I’ve never had it anyway.
And Moscow really is kind of a hippie town instead of a redneck Idaho town, despite that one giant gun racked truck that happened to drive by at that exact location at that exact time…
So where do you live? I lived in Appalachia in the mountains of West Virginia once upon a time. Life there was definitely hicksville.
I believe there is a difference between a hick or hillbilly and a redneck though. They seem to be different breeds of people but I’m not sure I can put a finger on why. Just seems like there’s a difference.
We were talking about this a bit ago in sociology… Supposedly it began with
Hillbillies/Hicks- poor white protestants that supported the emancipation of the slaves
Rednecks- and the poor white protestants that didnt support the emancipation of the slaves.
That might be total BS, but thats what I’ve heard.
I used to live a few blocks outside of Hicksville. Does that count for anything?
That’s Hicksville, New York. Long Island. Where Billy Joel grew up. Home of down-state NY’s first Ikea store. Population about 80,000 back when I lived there. Does that count?
Well i don’t no none differewnce between em all but i’ve been called all of em. I live in southern alberta. Yoopers are thos mountains as purdy as in the pictures or as people say? I aint much for NASCAR but tying rope to a mules ankles and flankin them then haging onto the rope in the mud is mighty fun. Breakfast is cornmeal grits are lunch and supper. We aint much for supper but it usualy stew or tacoes.
I’ve perused both the Appalachians and the Rockies. As I understand it, the The Rocky Mountains are peaked and jagged and a much newer mountain range than the Appalachian Mountains. Both have their own beauty. The Rockies are known for their snow-capped peaks while the Appalachians are known for their deep forests and beautiful waterways. I think I prefer the Appalachians because of the homey folks that live there.
Of course at the moment, I have neither. I live in the flat barren wastelands of corn and soybean in the heart of America’s midwest.
Interesting… well since I work mere minutes away from Iron Springs, AB (I work in Picture Butte), and know many people who live on farms around there, I will conclude that yes, indeed you are a hick, but I very highly doubt you talk like that.
lol
i gess ya ain neva been these here parts uhh?
lol
i heard a guy talking like that in louisiana… and started laughing because he was like the perfect idea of a redneck…
It’s just the way my relative and parent has always talked. They don’t either though:( Weird though
