The word over:
Redneck is a derogatory slang term used in reference to poor, uneducated white farmers, especially from the southern United States. It is similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks), and white trash (but without the last term's suggestions of immorality).
In recent decades, the term has expanded its meaning to refer to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways, and has often been used to attack white Southern conservatives. The term is used broadly to degrade working class and rural whites that are perceived by urban progressives to be insufficiently liberal. At the same time, some Southern whites have reclaimed the word, using it with pride and defiance as a self-identifier.
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you California

Hey friends! I'll be away from flickr and off the grid with no electricity, internet or cell phone capability for several weeks.
I hope y'all enjoy your spring (or autumn if you're in the southern hemisphere.) I'll miss seeing everyone, but I'm taking a little piece of many of you with me as my camera reminds me of your certain style or favorite subject.
I'll be looking forward to returning and catching up with everyone in May!

PS Keep an eye on the Billyllama for me ;~)
Soooo, we have been invited to a "western-themed" wedding. Everyone is encouraged to wear jeans and cowboy boots. Sooooo, I came up with these for part of our wedding gift to the happy couple! It took about 2 hours to cut, sort out and glue the beads to the jars and stems. They include silver cowboy hats and boots with red embellishes, Mr & Mrs. bedazzelers and jute string bows. They are the first ones I made so was thoroughly happy with them. Guess what else will be going in the box?
Another hobby for me....I bought 12 jars!!
Redneck grebe is kinda common in Alberta, especially in the Frank lake area. This one got really close to me while I was standing at the blinds. The timing was pretty good too, about one hour after sunrise, and the ripples just hit the spot.
Billy-Bob is our towns redneck. He's not complete without his pickup truck and a case or two of beer.

One presume this Geordie is a good old boy, just makin' his way the only way he knows how.
Its either a joke, or after reading the following you realise that its all rather inappropriate. However, one can not deny history.
"The Confederate States of America (CSA or C.S.)—commonly referred to as the Confederacy—was an unrecognized republic in North America that existed from 1861 to 1865. The Confederacy was originally formed by seven secessionist slave-holding states—South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas—in the Lower South region of the United States, whose economy was heavily dependent upon agriculture, particularly cotton, and a plantation system that relied upon the labor of African-American slaves. Convinced that the institution of slavery was threatened by the November 1860 election of Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. presidency on a platform which opposed the expansion of slavery into the western territories, the Confederacy declared its secession in rebellion to the United States, with the loyal states becoming known as the Union during the ensuing American Civil War. Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens described its ideology as being centrally based "upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition".

Since the end of the American Civil War, private and official use of the Confederacy's flags, and of flags with derivative designs, has continued amid philosophical, political, cultural, and racial controversy in the United States. These include flags displayed in states; cities, towns and counties; schools, colleges and universities; private organizations and associations; and by individuals.

I would really like to revisit this tree another time. I stopped by here early in the evening and I got some nasty looks from the locals. :-/ They did not seem to be very friendly, lol.

This was a shot from the November Triangle Strobist meetup. The goal was to create a redneck version of the original image used in Maxell advertisements. www.flickr.com/photos/paragon1/2854296933/sizes/l/ The lighting was an Alien Bee in a large Octobox behind the model and another Alien Bee bounced off the ceiling in the middle. I used Photoshop CS4's "Content Aware Scaling" to stretch it out a bit to make it truer to the original, did a bit of cloning to make Corey's rug bigger and added some grain.
Thanks to .Kristy. for modeling.

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy's 1993 comedy album You Might Be a Redneck If... cajoled listeners to evaluate their own behavior in the context of stereotypical redneck behavior, and resulted in more mainstream usage of the term.
