Redneck

In modern usage, redneck predominantly refers to a particular stereotype of whites from the Southern United States, Western United States, and Appalachia. The word can be used either as a pejorative or as a matter of pride, depending on context.

Stereotype

The stereotypical redneck lives in a trailer or old weatherbeaten farm house in a rural area, and drives an old, large, beat-up pickup truck, possibly adorned with the Confederate flag, with a gun rack in the rear window. He may wear a white sleeveless, and/or obscene t-shirt. He also wears blue jeans, a baseball or trucker hat. Rednecks like boot cut, and the jeans of redneck men often have a permanent circle on the back-pocket from carrying a can of dipping tobacco, such as Skoal or Copenhagen. Their hair is worn in the mullet style, or in a military style haircut. He is also prone to swearing, perhaps not as much as the stereotypical Yankee, but more than other Southerners or Appalachians.
