Dirty_but_Dazzling Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 LMAO at the same time SMH! I was trying to find some info on stadiums to take a look at the general averages of cost. So I of course started with the DAWG HOUSE being its still relatively new. Take a look at what DTS Enginering claims they built here in Jasper in 2002. I reckon this is true definition of false advertising. Yes or No ?

Do you even know what a redneck is ? You may be one and don't know it ! A redneck is a slang term for a protestant or anyone who is not catholic.

Are you a redneck ? my friend, you are 100% correct when you say it is highly misused. Redneck is chiefly, but not exclusively, applied to white Americans perceived to be crass or unsophisticated, closely associated with white people of rural Southern United States. Farmers of the 19th century til now having red sun burned necks. **crass- lack sensitivity, refinement or intelligence use of this word is meant to be derogatory almost 100 % of the time.

It is not religion based. The origins of this term are Scottish and refer to supporters of the National Covenant and The Solemn League and Covenant, or Covenanters, largely Lowland Presbyterians, many of whom would flee Scotland for Ulster (Northern Ireland) during persecutions by the British Crown. The Covenanters of 1638 and 1641 signed the documents that stated that Scotland desired the Presbyterian form of church government and would not accept the Church of England as its official state church. Many Covenanters signed in their own blood and wore red pieces of cloth around their necks as distinctive insignia; hence the term Red neck, which became slang for a Scottish dissenter. One Scottish immigrant, interviewed by the author, remembered a Presbyterian minister, one Dr. Coulter, in Glasgow in the 1940's wearing a red clerical collar - is this symbolic of the rednecks? Since many Ulster-Scottish settlers in America (especially in the South) were Presbyterian, the term was applied to them, and then, later, their Southern descendants. One of the earliest examples of its use comes from 1830, when an author noted that red-neck was a name bestowed upon the Presbyterians.

For all I know during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia might have called people rednecks but that ain’t what they are talking about in the southern United States.

SmashMouth Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 “Redneck”? Well, I know it has zero to do with the funding or cost of a new concessions facility. Unless someone knows the exact scope of work, this is a moot topic anyway. Figure out something else to bitch about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
