However, with popular Southern comedians like Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall making jokes about rednecks in the South, it seems that Southerner and redneck have become nearly synonymous. Plenty of Southern Americans fit this description, but by this definition, there are also rednecks in many areas inside and outside of the United States. The definition for redneck has further grown to reflect someone who is uncouth and uncultured because they grew up in a poor or working class family, far from the cultural influence of an urban area.They wore red bandanas around their necks, so they were called rednecks. According to a board member for West Virginia’s Mine Wars Museum, the term redneck was also used in the late 1800s in southern West Virginia when the coal miners fought the owners of the mines.So, the definition widened to include people who live out in the country or in a small town away from a city. They do tend to live outside of urban areas. Farmers live in all regions, not just the South.Thus, the term redneck started as a way to refer to farmers. The term redneck is generally thought of as coming from the fact that farmers get sunburns on the backs of their necks from being outside all day.Not all Southerners are rednecks and not all rednecks are from the South, but the colloquialisms and common idioms from the South are now frequently thought of as redneck slang words.
