I married a PA hillbilly 65 years ago and he always got teased about one leg shorter than the other because he grew up on the side of a mountain too. He can outwalk and outclimb anyone.

My husband teased me about being a hillbilly, I always told him I was still smarter than him because at least I had enough sense not to marry one.

Around here we got Rednecks, trailer park trash, river rats, people so rural that we say they come from back of the trailer park & hillbillies, good ole boys & girls. You name it we got here.I almost forgot oilfield trash. My DS says he is oilfield trash. I would love to have just one of his pay checks. He flat makes the money.
