Ok, if you were being serious, you are thinking of "Tazzy Devil" from Looney Toons. But real tasmanian devils are about the size of a possum with a jaw as strong as a hyenas.
So why is being called a tasmanian such on offense?
Errr....because Tasmania is a state and the people within are called Tasmanians who (apparantly) are inbred. And you just can't take the chance that that assumption is incorrect.
So taking offense is just the proper way to deal with said comment.
I'm not sure if anybody answered this but yes, we do have things that shoot water up our butts or as you say "arse".
Eww... Well the U.S.A. sure as hell don't...

I'll admit we have a strong hate for Bush, but that's is more rational.

Well no one wants to just take the critisism, they need to critisize back. I'm not sure who started it, but it's going to keep happening. Canadians are also very competitive.
My ex was always competitive... He still is actually... *Mumbles under his breath...*

I know that the whole yank.redneck thing was to do with the north and south. I just never really thought that much into it.
From my perspective a yank is just your general american. Moderate upbringing, generally well housed/clothed/educated and so on. So yeah context with the word is the main part to it being derogatory. But when someone says "rednecK" i think of a slack jawed farmer who spends the days with straw in mouth and spends the night shaggin his sister.
So I reckon being called a "redneck" would be a bit of an insult. Kinda like calling an Australia a Tasmanian. It can get you killed I tell ya. Killed.
I did meet a Canadian the other day. And I couldn't believe it! The actually do say the word "Eh" all the time!
thats not a redneck thats white trash(its one level below). I know rednecks, and the biggest difference I can conjure up is a lil twang when they talk and they like fast stuff fishin and killing things, wait thats describing me lol.
Ill call an aussie a son of a british prisoner, is that an insult?

Imho, redneck is the highest title you can give someone, while white trash is basically trailer trash for the north...
I call Australians Australians...because they are Australians... <.<
I think white trash is a universal insult for lower income americans.
Well, lower income white Americans. But even then, it doesn't necessarily indicate people of lower class.
Believe me, I see plenty of higher income people all the time that are easily white trash. Many celebrities and musicians who considerably well off are white trash. Money doesn't buy class.
Yeah, I suppose it's a way of life in sorts. To me, a big part of being white trash is accepting your own ignorance; not wanting to educate oneself and being perfectly satisfied or complacent toward the status quo. Having that attitude can reflect in how a person lives their life depending on the person, which is why I see people of all types of socioeconomic status being white trash.
The typical U.S. redneck attitude is one of intolerance. I struggle with intolerance to some degree. But I also have little tolerance or intolerance which makes me intolerant. But I can't pretend to not be intolerant about other things as well. I'm probably a redneck in some ways, despite my swanky European car that I drive.
Most rednecks around here are the ones that maintain our roads, build buildings, and do lots of industrial type of work. And that's very important stuff. So if they wanna be angry and pissed off about the Mexicans, that's okay as long as they keep working hard and maintaining things.
I dont think tolerance has much to do with it, its more like having an intrest in simple things, like cow tiping and shooting things. Now of coarse there are intolerant rednecks, but its not a prerequisite to being a redneck. race has nothing to do with it, I know alot of black and mexican rednecks, or maybe its because I live in the midwest(seeing as how its so jumbled up).
I used the label "redneck" mostly for the simplistic people who do drugs, smoke, and "party", and have random sex; who have simple jobs, use slang and/or cuss a lot, have a distate towards people who are not like them, don't do well in school/college, tend to fight everyone for stupid reasons when it's not at all necessary, hold grudges, etc. And, most importantly, a true redneck, when confronted with all the above as being "bad", uses his unique deranged logic to explain how all those things are actually good...

Hmm, I've never thought of anyone but white people as being redneck. But I live in a state where there is such a small amount of black people or Hispanics.

Wait! Wait wait wait! Australia has states!?!?
WRONG! Bidets exist in North America, both in Canada and the USA. It's just that only rich people have them here.
Yeah Australia is weird. As much as it is a continent it is actually a country also. So it is divided into states not countries.....
I thought you people knew that....
Well, I'm not Bill Gates, so as far as I'm concerned, we don't. <.< xD
I knew Australia was a country as well as a continent, but I thought it didn't have states. >.>

What the fuck...
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
Mostly it's just fancy hotels that have those.
