re: What's the difference between White Trash, Hillbillies, and Rednecks?

White Trash - sneaky, low lifes. Will do whatever it takes to do as little as possible. Will complain about secks after it. Lazy. Illiterate. Entitled.

Hillbilly - Good ole boy that wasnt blessed with intelligence. Forrest Gump.

Redneck - a more active Hillbilly.

Your analysis is spot-on, IMO.

D. None of the Above

Rednecks are farmers

A hillbilly "lives off the land" in higher elevations.

White trash lives in filth and occupations vary.

A coonass is a hillbilly below sea level.

To be fair Rednecks were labeled as such originally because their necks were burned red from working in the fields. So my definition of a Redneck is someone who is usually hard working and know how to "make do". Sometimes this is synonymous with poor but often it is not.

A hillbilly, is associated with the crushing poverty of Appalachia and tend to have some but not all of the Redneck traits. (Think Billy Ray Cyrus).

White trash is simply a white person of any area that is shiftless, usually uneducated, and "common". They are usually involved in some minor criminal behavior and tend to live in constant chaos.

That being said, I am a redneck and damn proud of it!! Even if I hate NASCAR and Budweiser. But then I'm an educated redneck..

white trash is self explanatory, red neck is a more broad term, not confined to the south, and not always a negative connotation, hillbilly is a broad spectrum too, encompasses everything from Deliverance types to Jerry Jones

Gimme gizzards instead of livers and I'm sold.

The weirdest shite I've seen around here is liver mush.
