I don't consider the term "Redneck" to mean simple, intolerant, or really any of the above. I consider "Redneck" to mean someone who does what they say and is happy about who they are. You don't have to be stupid, or simple, or intolerant to be a "Redneck", at least, I don't think so. Then again I consider myself a "Redneck", and I consider myself to be of decent intellegence.
It's hard to come up with a concrete definition of "Redneck" I think...
In Australia we have Fuel (Leaded/Unleaded Petrol), Diesel and Gas (LPG). Now from what I have heard and seen on movies (despite the fact that they are regularly inaccurate) you guys call petrol gas.
In Canada (and America I believe) Petrol is Gas (Unleaded or Leaded). Diesel is Diesel. Gas... is obviously Gas aswell.[/quote]

I know that you guys get called Yanks or Pomes as a slang/derogatory name, but I was curious to what you refer to yourselves as other than Americans or Brits? Because Australians call themselves Aussies. Oh and feel free to let me know any derogatory names for us, I'm hangin to know.
Seeing as how I live in Canada and we're a pretty tolerant nation, we don't actually have any derogatory names for Australians. I'd say most people here like Australia and it's people. In fact, that's the case with most other nations / cultures here. The only insults we really have for other people is putting a bad word in front of their culture. EX: "Damn Australians", etc.
As for self-names, if we aren't calling ourselves Candians, we're calling ourselves Canucks. No idea where it comes from, but it's true. Also - there are two common misconceptions I'd like to dispell about Canadians right now. 1 - We can pronounce the word "About" just fine. We do not say "Aboot". 2 - We do not put the word "Eh" at the end of every sentence. We use it like Americans use the word "huh" (to replace the word "what?" or the phrase "what did you say / mean / etc").

Do you guys really have that long canteen line thing in school? Where you all walk up with your trays and stuff?
Yeah, but here they're called Cafeterias. Also, only some schools have them. Usually it depends on the size of the school, and the food is (usually) crap.

You guys don't really have that thing that shoots water up your arse do ya? Because that is just nasty......
Well I've already answered this one lol.
Quote from "Siaynoq" »
I wonder if Jeff Foxworthy ever said the joke, "If you actually find my humor funny, you might be a redneck."
Yeah but if he said that, I would laugh, which would render the concept moot as I am most certainly not a redneck.
Canada and the U.S. relation to me is kind of like best friends, you joke around a lot about the crappiness of eachother, but you don't always mean it.
i always mean it....:mad:

Yeah, that's not a myth at all. They also only have a single road that runs through their entire country.That actually sounds nice when you think about it.
As for what United States citizens call themselves it's usually American. That is unless we're referring to ourselves according to our state. Then you'd say you were Californian or Utahn. I've noticed a lot of Americans identify themselves with their State than most other countries out there.
Like, I've never heard an Aussie call himself a Victorian or a Queenslandian...
State governments play a much larger role in a U.S. citizen's life than the federal government ever does. So within the U.S. that makes perfect sense. There are contributions to the culture that surrounds us that is made by the country and the state though. It's kind of interesting to weigh them against each other.
do ppl from france australia and shit kno where california's at on a map?

Seriously, why all the titles? Can't we all just say Human??

Well I haven't heard of a kleesma either.
Edit: Oh damn you mean in Russian right?
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.

Bah! Jeff is -NOT- a Redneck! That wannabe parades around acting all Redneck, but he isn't! You want a redneck? Larry the Cable guy is your man!
Don't get me wrong, the others are funny as hell, especially Ron "Tator Salad" White, but Larry is the only Redneck of the group.
Lol...wtf?...
