Redneck! LOL I really wish I knew the history of that name... I find it hard to believe but they don't have tan lines are sunburn anywhere but the south...
However, we do call our neighbors yard "redneck h***" ... Which is funny since I'm about to be the ones with chickens in the yard ... Ha

i think it implies a sundburned neck from working outside all day. not really a nice beginning

What Oz said.

Further North the sun doesn't come out quite as much while working the fields. You know our summers, now imagine picking corn or cotton in that.. Heck, I worked in the yard for an hour a week ago and I got a little crisp feeling

My dear husband is a literal redneck too, from working outside in the sun on his days off.

Lol I've seen red necks in non-Southern places I've lived such as Nevada, North Dakota, and Illinois. But it's considered a southern thing lol I was more wondering why red neck became southerner (in my family redneck means more along the lines of "trashy folks" than just southerners)

As white trash tend to be undereducated and therefore can only hold menial tasks, the terms are synonimous. I have seen my share throughout the usa

in oz there are bogans and yobbos. Bogans are lower socioeconomic class while yobbos are loud and obnoxious. A bogan can also be a yobbo.

A hick is a person who may lack social skills because they are from the bush

In British English there is the word yokel which has much the same pejorative overtones.
