Thread Name: Redneck is an insulting word
Subject: RE: Redneck is an insulting word
When we decided to move to New Hampshire after fifteen years in good old boy central Florida I was kinda leery. After all, New England has a reputation for beautiful, quaint villages; and quiet, but hard working people. Then my brother, who after a stint in the middle colonies had returned to Massachusetts, informed me that New Hampshire had the reputation of being the "redneck state" of New England. Yeehaw, I screamed, at least I'll feel like I belong here. Anywhere you can count on hearing the sound of roaring Harleys and pickup trucks with dogs barking in the back at all hours of the day and night can't be all bad. Northern rednecks aren't so big on monster trucks and mud racing but they can sure hold their own in most taditional redneck games. More later.
