I only have one problem with that site; it only has one redneck dialect. Georgia redneck is very different from West Virginia redneck, etc. I'd like to see that thing handle rural Michigan redneck.

I've never heard anybody say "Fry mah hide!" and I've been around rednecks my whole life.

LOL...the new identity phrase for TT hikers on the trail. First person walks up and says,'HOWDEE?" the second replies, WHAL, FRY MAH HIDE!

Okay now we have to find a way to work this into a corporate board meeting.

Some yankee must have written that FRY MAH HIDE thing. I've never heard it either. Still, it's funny.

They didn't use a phrase I've actually heard: "Shakin' more than a dog poopin' peach pits." That came from a family from Kentucky/ West Virginia.

It does seem like the south never met a simile or metaphor it didn't like!

Giddy-Yap, Princess!!

That's the general idea, Sticks!

How about, "goin' down the road like a striped ape."??

LMAO! A striped ape, what the heck. I think the similes actually have to mean something!

Princess, I heard that one from a guy who had flown Vought F4U Corsairs.

He claimed it would redline at 430 Knots/Nauts.....about 495 MPH.

Somehow "Striped Ape" seemed fitting for a wildman at the wheel/stick.

Again, where did the term 'redneck' come from? I've heard it dates back to building the 'Boulder Damn' and the company store sold only one kind of sock 'red neck socks'.

Think Farmers' tan, i.e. sunburned arms and necks from being out in the sum all day.

Yay, good old Wikipedia. I read/heard someone making fun of it, I forget where, but I think it rocks!

"Usage of the term "Redneck" generally differs from Hick and Hillbilly, because Rednecks reject or resist assimilation into the dominant culture, while Hicks and Hillbillies theoretically are isolated from the dominant culture."

Someone I know moved to the sticks to isolate themselves from the dominant culture........or so it would seem.

Can you speak upstate New Yorker?
"Go’n’ bullhenin’ er ‘rout?"

Translation: Are you going fishing for bullhead, or are you fishing for trout?
