Hi Sean                  7/5/06 4:30 PM

BF> Huh.  I never thought redneck....I think of a hoser as just a dim and
BF> happy go-lucky beer drinker.
 
sd-> Well, down here, yep, that's the same thing. :)  Here, the idea of a
great
sd-> night's worth of entertainment is a six-pack of cold beer and a bug 
sd-> zapper...

You know, I think those TV "Redneck" comics are beginning to change the
meaning of the word 'redneck.'   It used to mean an outspoken bigot, and
was pretty much derogatory.  
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
American Heritage Dictionary:  red·neck 
n. Offensive Slang.  A white person regarded as having a provincial,
conservative, often bigoted attitude.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

But lately I've noticed it being used not as a pejorative, but to indicate
a easy going, humorous, beer drinking kind of guy.   Those comics on TV of
course have no sign of bigotry in their monologue, and so the meaning of
redneck seems to be changing just from their efforts.   

BF> Like Jim.
sd-> Oooh, them's fightin' words, I think. <G>

Nah, Jim's a friend and I haven't pulled his chain in quite a while.
