I loves me a good redneck joke. Maybe that's why I live here. . . .

Ha! That's pretty funny. I'm moving out to redneck country soon, so this might come in handy for translation! ;)

I'm here from Michele's.

Hi again, Judy. Michele sent me!

These terms are right down our alley, living in North Carolina and all. I'm at the area where RTP and the Piedmont merge so it's getting a bit rednecky here with dairy farms and hayfields. Everytime I mow with my lawn tractor instead of the push mower I think of "Green Acres".

Those were great! Here via Michele tonight. Have a good weekend!

This is bad, kenju, because I don't know what half of terms mean in reality. Oh well.

Thanks for your comment today. It was very comforting. I loved it.

My only point of reference about rednecks comes from a very funny CD by jeff Foxworthy, but they are still funny even to an Aussie.

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Excellent! I have a Jeff Foxworthy daily redneck calendar.

Here via Michele.

hey, Michelle sent me. I'm a native Tarheel--but have been a part of the diaspora since grad school. Nice old pics in your blog.

Hi! Michele sent me! :-)

I'm not sure which term is the funniest... hacker or modem LOL

Being from the UK I only hear about the stereotypes of a redneck ... do they really exist?
