The comedian, Jeff Foxworthy must have a calender out with one of his infamous "You know you're a redneck if..." sayings for each day of the year. Someone ripped one out and sent it to me today.

It said, "You know you're a redneck if you have ever had your picture taken with a Giant Vegetable." I guess I qualify. Made my day.

I also thought a pumpkin was classified as a fruit. Although I readily admit to being a yuppie redneck. I live in a redneck town, but I live in a nice new house without any major appliances or dilapidated vehicles on the front lawn. I also wear my doeskin to work, but I won't wear it out in the yard when I'm working (I don't want to get it dirty). Therefore, fruit or vegetable, I proudly admit to being a redneck, even if it's of the yuppie variety.

I´m german and am wonder who or what the hell is a redneck? The first i read in the net was:
"You´re a redneck if the halloween pumpkin on your front porch has more teeth than your wife."
The other things i read, may not repeat on this honored board. But by all the rednecks i read above, i dont wonder why so a lot of AG Pumpkins have incest genetics in it. LOL

9/22/2004 3:40:17 PM

to clear up some confusion...

Botanical definitions
fruit - a mature ovary
vegetable - other plant part

Common/Grocery store definitions
fruit - eaten as a desert or snack
vegetable - eaten with main course

There was actually a court case, back in the day, when a guy didn't want to be the vegetable tax on the tomatoes that he shipped over. He said they were fruit and took 'em to court. The court declared that althought botanically it's a fruit, tomatoes are known as vegetables.

I call pumpkins fruit.

Fruit or veggy, bla bla bla, main thing is, they are big and heavy!

Redneck... I don't know how this will come out, but let me
attempt to define it for our non-North-American friends...
It's a slang term that is used to refer to people who are
generally, poor, white, live in rural areas, lack
education, like country music and NASCAR, who believe
hunting season is the "high holy days", who have never been
more than 50 miles from home ...... the characteristics go
on and on. (Please, no PC lectures here!)

Funny thing is though, while some of things I mentioned
could be considered rude, it is not generally rude to call
someone a redneck. People are proud to be the way they are
and have the lifestyle they have. Some, (like me) would not
mind at all to be thought of as redneck even though not all
of the classic characteristics apply. (Hey, as a matter of
fact I still have my teeth!!)

A redneck would use a shotgun to take care of gophers...

A redneck also has a few farm animals running around the yard. Plus a pick-up truck.

Having a car up on blocks in front of your house ( which is also up on blocks) and a satellite dish out back which is more valuable than both your car & home will get you into the redneck hall of fame real quick.

If you idea of a sleepover is meeting your friends in the drunktank then you are also borderline redneck.

Hey Brigitte, I think that botanicaly fruit is not only a mature ovary... this definition more or less refers to the seed.

I consider myself somewhat of a redneck, but if you want a true definition of a member here at BP that fills the bill perfectly...think Black Cloud. And like what was mentioned earlier, most people are proud of their redneck status and im sure Keith is no exception. Rock on Rednecks!

>> -your high school has special forms for the deer hunters to fill out when they're going to miss school.

ha ha ha, growing up in Utah, our high school actually
had a "deer holiday". They figured it was just easier
to dismiss the entire school at the opening of deer
season, rather than attempt to hold school for the few
remaining students.

WOW...

A topic I can realy sink my Teeth into.

I used to have a Canadian Redneck website.Here is a definition I wrote for my site and some others I had posted. Enjoy...

Definitions of Canadian Redneck (ca'na'dian'-red'neck'),n.
1. Disparaging Canadian, mainly found in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and western Manitoba.
2. An uneducated, Canadian farm laborer.
3. Also known as a Hick or Yokel.
4. A cousin of the southern U.S. redneck, but no relation to the Canadian Newfie.

if you have a bumper sticker or an article of clothing that says "If you're Canadian, show me your beaver."

if you know who Relic is.

if any beer under 6% is considered good only for pouring on your "Shreddies" in the morning.

if you think Don Cherry should be Prime Minister, or better still Minister of Foreign Affairs.

if you know "jacking deer" isn't a sexual innuendo.

if you shop exclusively at Canadian Tire for Christmas presents.

If you have watched every episode of the Red Green Show.

And yes I live on a dirt road in the city, enjoy my '79 Chevy and also have chickens.
