How do you define a Redneck?

Answer 1

Jeff Foxworthy has come up with a careers worth of "you might be a redneck" jokes but they don't really tell the story. The term "redneck" used to imply someone who worked outdoors for a living and had a sunburned neck. To many these days it means someone who cherishes his/her freedom, wants less interference from the government and more or less just wants to be left alone to take care of themselves and their family.
