I'm trying to control myself here. Let me just say that "white trash" is NEVER, NEVER an appropriate term to use about anyone. It's really, really offensive. No one likes being called that. Besides, white trash is different from redneck anyway.

On the clothes tip: what you're describing is not how "rednecks" dress. Rednecks wear wranglers, overalls, flannel shirts, and caps. You're describing how the people you'd call "white trash" dress. And, let me just say, from growing up with and knowing many such people, the reason they dress that way is A) because they haven't been taught the same standards of dress as you and B) because oftentimes they can't afford new clothes if styles change or if they outgrow old clothes.

Mm-kay? You're about to offend me here.
