Hillbilly is a term referring to people who dwell in remote, rural, mountainous areas of the United States, primarily southern Appalachia and the Ozarks. Due to its strongly stereotypical connotations, the term is frequently considered derogatory, and so is usually offensive to those Americans of Ozarkan and Appalachian heritage. However, the term is also used in celebration of their culture by mountain people themselves, as illustrated by the Hillbilly Hot Dogs stand photo below. Such co-opting and neutralizing use is almost exclusively reserved for Appalachian people themselves.
