What is a "redneck"? The latest Wikipedia describes a redneck as "a particular stereotype of whites from the Southern United States. The word can be used either as a pejorative or as a matter of pride, depending on context."

One man observes that, "Being a 'real' Redneck is so much more than driving a pick-up truck and naming your dog Bubba.  A true Redneck does not feel the need to impress people with the outward trappings of superficial wealth and a real Redneck is perfectly comfortable in an Armani suit or a stained t-shirt." (Donald Burleson)

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "redneck" dates back to 1893 when it was a derogatory term used to insult rural farm workers. Farmers would work all day in the sun wearing straw hats and tee-shirts, and the backs of their necks would get sunburned. Since the South long remained the agricultural hub of the United States, the term was eventually applied to Southerners in general.

Understanding "Southern Talk" Without Living in Dixie 

Anyone who has watched an episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies" realizes that the Clampetts speak a language of their own. But when I was growing up, it made perfect sense to me, because everyone I knew talked just like Granny and Jed. Now that I am a seasoned, world traveling American who lives in the United Kingdom, it has become painfully obvious that very few people are privileged enough to understand the "Southern" language. Some predict that this regional dialect is on its way to extinction, but I think not. This lens was produced to introduce you to the basic of "Southern Talk."
