Thanks Peach that is really interesting. :D
I was watching a TV programme the other day where Jamie Oliver (English chef) is doing a gastronomic tour of America. He was in the South doing a BBQ competition - roasting a whole pig overnight over a fire pit! He asked a local 'why redneck' and they gave the sun burned neck from working in the fields version, and also said it was a sign of pride that you worked for your living - I guess it's indicative of our changing attitudes towards good ol' fashioned hard work that make rednecks the butt of jokes - in Britain, it's an insult to call someone a 'peasant' but here in rural France, 'la vie paysanne' is still a respected way of life. :D
Sorry Joyce - you posted this to make us laugh, NOT inspire a debate!
And it was funny - so thank you for posting and sorry! :lol: :oops:

This is so funny!
BTW, my husband bought a turkey fryer for our Thanksgiving turkey and my brothers' comment was, "You've officially become a redneck now".
I guess rednecks have good taste--fried turkey, yummm...

I come from a line of rednecks, my grandfather and dad had farmers tan, Mom and I were only in shoes if going away. I know some make fun of rednecks, and I admit to laughing and enjoying the jokes, but also admit to being one!!!c a joke I can be a part of with pride, because I do not worry what the elite think of me!!!! :mrgreen:
