Cornwhole is a very fun game. here in the great Hoosier state cornwhole is most commonly played at BBQ's. The game is really simple you toss a bean bag full of corn and try to make it in the whole or on the board on the other side. the boards have to be 27 feet apart? i could be wrong on that but i think that sounds right.

While I have no desire to own a pickup as my primary vehicle, because I don't like the style, or because it is somewhat unnecessary for me, how does owning or driving one make one a redneck? Regarding country music, it is the number one genre of music in the United States. It is a very suburban style of music these days. It exists everywhere. I like country music very much. |

I think it can be derogatory, it just depends on the context. When I was in high school you could buy decals about 18" wide that said "REDNECK" to put on your truck at most auto parts stores (you probably still can) and a LOT of people in the Ozarks have them. I think a lot of people really take pride in the "redneck" lifestyle, which I generalize as living in a rural area, driving a truck, hunting, fishing, ect.. I grew up doing these things and really miss them a lot, and although I've left for a urban area and more education, I still enjoy indulging my redneck side every time I go back to the Ozarks.
Now if some city-slicker comes into a redneck area and calls everyone a bunch of "rednecks" in a negative manner (referring to the negative connotations of the word, like a lack of education, culture, or perception, whether true or not), then it is derogatory. |

Does anyone know where the term "redneck" came about. It was first coined by the media during the time the miners in West Virginia were forming unions to improve their working conditions. The miners, in order to identify themselves, worn red bandanas around their necks.
Somehow this does not present an uneducated, lazy, hard drinking, fighting, and other adjectives. These were hard working men trying to support their families while standing up for their rights. I think that definition still stands. Rural and small town America, North and South, East and West, is populated by farmers and folks who work in agriculture and small businesses for pay at minimum wage or slightly above. These folks are church going, community minded, family oriented, hard working folks. If their idea of fun is a dance with country music and cheap beer, so what. All I have ever known would give you the shirt off their to help you, but if you try to take their rights away, they will fight you to the end. Maybe Redneck describes American. My neck is red and you don't have to scratch far to find it, and I hope I can maintain the attitude of helping others and caring for my family and fighting for my(our) rights as citizens. virginia16 |
