Re: Difference between hillbilly and Redneck?
 
A redneck is like someone saying "you're a true white man. Thanks for not being a ------".

A hillbilly is like someone calling you white trash.

A "white" person is someone who has their head up thier ass.

Hillbilly is a redneck that lives in the country or a super small town.

Hillbilly's and down south ghetto black people are the same except for their skin color. They both consider sitting on the porch and watching cars go by fun. They use the same ebonics, and they both have bugs living in thier hair.

The rednecks live in small CITIES, and travel to do all of those things. The hillbilly lives in a small TOWN.

Look Stealth I don't have bugs in my herr, but I do like to see ricers go by and laugh at their rides. I use some eb...e.....ebon......funny language to get my point accross.

True hillbilles don't have any social skills and are hard to find, their busy making meth and ploting against the gov.

Long story short, when my grandfather retired he wanted a lot of land, a pond and some place warm. He ended up in Arkansas, way up in the sticks. His town doesn't exist on any maps. He got everything he wanted but some of his neigbors are the exact definition of hillbillies. One guy burries his $$ in the yard cause he doesn't trust banks. He was also whording gas in 55gal drums cause of Y2K ::)

hillbillys are people from WV, kentucy, and tennesee. People who grew up in the appalachian mountians (where the hill comes from). secluded from everyone. Down in their holler, so they have some weird ass backwater culture. Also, most were of scottish decent and named their children william(bill), Y'all californian, new found upper midwestern boys dont know ---- about hillbillys ;)

I come from a long line of rednecks, but being raised in So Cal I occassionally have my head up my ass. ---- white people. :)

Rednecks are pickup driving, shot gun owning, ignorany and racist white people that live in the city (they are common in Texas and such...)

Hillbillys are ignorant, uneducated, racist, interbred racist white people that live in isolation (usually small towns or in the mountains and country).

It does not mean ignorant, uneducated, racist, or imbred.... thats very uneducated, racist, and ignorant of you to say so.

The term "Hill-Billies" is first encountered in documents from 17th century Ireland. Roman Catholic King James II landed at Kinsale in Ireland in 1689 and began to raise a Catholic army in an attempt to regain the British throne. Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange, led an English counter force into Ireland and defeated James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. A significant portion of William III's army was composed of Protestants of Scottish descent (Planters) who had settled in Ulster in northern Ireland. The southern Irish Catholic supporters of James II referred to these northern Protestant supporters of King William as "Hill-Billies" and "Billy Boys"--Billy being an abbreviation of William; the term "Billy Boy" is still used today, mainly in Northern Ireland. The Catholics and Protestants were at war and the terms were not spoken in kindness. Supporters of King William more generally came to be known as Orangemen.

It is believed that the term "hillbilly" in the United States was conferred during the early 18th Century by the occupying British soldiers as a carry over from the Irish term, in referring to Scots-Irish immigrants of mainly Presbyterian origin, dwelling in the frontier areas of the Appalachian Mountains[citation needed]. These Protestant Irish colonists brought their cultural traditions with them when they immigrated. Many of their stories, songs and ballads dealt with the history of their Ulster and Lowland Scot homelands, especially relating the tale of the Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange.

Alternatively, it is also speculated that the term emerged as a derogatory nickname given by the coastal plain dwelling Anglo-Saxon Southerners for the hill-dwelling settlers of Eastern Tennessee, Western Virginia, northern Arkansas and Eastern Kentucky, many of whom were ambivalent to the Confederacy during the American Civil War[citation needed]. Billy Yank was the common term for Union soldiers, the nemesis of the Confederate Johnny Reb.
