Redneck
Definition 1 of 3
Pro Tip 1/3
Potentially Offensive
Using 'redneck' can insult someone. It hints at narrow-mindedness or prejudice among rural, working-class whites. Calling him a 'redneck' simply because of his truck is disrespectful.
Pro Tip 2/3
Context Matters
'Redneck' might be embraced or funny among friends but is rude when outsiders use it. We joked about being rednecks at the family reunion.
Pro Tip 3/3
Avoid Stereotyping
Be careful not to assume traits or behaviors about someone labeled as a 'redneck.' He's not an 'ignorant redneck'; he actually enjoys reading literature.
