I’m more accustomed to Persephone’s definition of redneck, honestly. Then again, I live in a town where most folks are that definition, although we use “hick” and “redneck” interchangeably.

Yes, I can agree with that, your definition of redneck is probably how my parents would use it. However, I live in small town in the Appalachian mountains and the definition has changed a bit according to Wikipedia(I looked it up).”By the 2000s, the term had expanded in meaning to refer to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways”. My generation uses it when we are taking about rough, racists people, who think their way is the best and only way.
