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.

I previously stated that redneck=white trash around here. And what I'm describing (clothes, people, etc.) is simply what I see & how I interpret it. If you find that offensive you should really really really calm down and evaluate how easily offended you are. I'm entitled to my opinion as are you.
