jeepwm69 7,399 Posted September 14, 2020 LOL. What he said! When I was growing up I thought of "redneck" as a derogatory term. As I got older, I started using Redneck as a euphemism for "good country folk" and "white trash" because the derogatory term dejour But we certainly use it up here, and my wife calls me that all the time (looking at my piles of broken down machines) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other word for people from Louisiana is not derogatory to me either even though some people use it that way. Term of endearment here. Perfectly fine being called a redneck depending on who says it and the context 🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,140 Posted September 14, 2020 I have a buddy born and raised in New Orleans , he moved to Mississippi about 30 years ago , well the nickname I dubbed him with is Redneck , and all our buddies followed suit , that is all every one ever calls him , " Where's Redneck at , talk to Redneck lately , Redneck coming this weekend " , I call him Red for short sometimes , it is amazing how he changed , he looks and sounds like he was born and raised in Mississippi , he speaks better Redneck than people that lived there their entire life , be careful it is contagious hanging out with Rednecks , LOL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
