I have been readin’ Melanie D. Calvert’s articles about redneck men and have a few things to say. Redneck men are a breed all unto their own and we are a man’s man, jus’ ask one of us. Ya’ll will never see no redneck feller worried ‘bout endin’ up on the cover of that QG magazine neither, ‘cause our clothes are proudly bought at Wally’s World and our hair is cut by Frank down at the feed lot. Plus, we don’t care to foller the latest fashion trends ‘er fads, ‘cause we still dress the same way we did durin’ the war between the states.
While bib-overalls are good fer goin’ to town and with a white shirt and tie they’re ‘ceptable ‘nough down South fer church, I don’t like gettin’ dandied up. Ya’ll will usually find me dressed more casually, with a flannel shirt, cowboy hat, jeans with my can of snuff in the right rear pocket or at least a faded ring, and cowboy boots. And, my belt buckle cost almost as much as my truck, over forty dollars. Now, I ain’t sure, by my fashion statement, iffen I be a redneck or a cowboy but it don’t pay no never mind, cause they’re cousin’s to my way of thinkin’ anyways. How-some-ever, my attitude is all redneck.
But, a redneck ain’t identified by his dress, but rather by his attitude. This means, my friends, that rednecks, regardless of what ya might think, ain’t only from the south. Hell, they even got ‘em in countries all over the world. There are Yankee rednecks, German rednecks, English rednecks, African American rednecks, and believe this, Asian rednecks. I once saw me a Asian redneck ridin’ a bicycle with the rear-end of a Datsun pick-em-up truck attached to ‘er and it was filled with chickens. I knew immediately my man was a redneck. See, it’s attitude that makes a gal or feller a redneck, not their clothes.
The redneck attitude is easy to describe and I’ve listed some things below to give y’all an idea of what makes a gen-wine redneck,
