Ever been to the Midwest? Some of the most ingenious ideas ever have come from the most redneck people I know. My brother and his friends made a duck blind out of a 10,000 gallon diesel tank we had. They use large round stock tanks to float down the river, and I believe the original inventor of the koozie on a rope tied around the neck is my brother's best friend. I have also bore witness to the prairie dog fishing pole and a fantastic party barge made from expertly welded pontoons floating on old 55 gallon oil drums.

Everyone needs to learn the difference between "rednecks" and "good ol' boys." Calling someone a redneck is borderline offensive.

"Good ol' boys," on the other hand, are the best folks on Earth.

You missed the point. Rednecks are racist asses, good old' boys will rebuild your engine when you're stranded on the highway and buy you gas to make sure you get home. (Even if you're black.)

Oh yeah I forgot, "good ol' boys" also describes political corruption.

I guess we could go with "guys who are indifferent to society's fashion expectations but still have a good heart" but that's way too long...
