Way too early Top 25 for 2024-25

You need some black friends. I’m going to start offering a subscription at $19.99 per month so that people can avoid these kinds of embarrassing mistakes.

 

Good advice! You are correct I gave you the "Red-Neck" version! lol

 

I have an app for that.

 

Man stop with the cultural appropriation.
Red-necks were not saying scurred. That was a hood thing!

 

Red neck "English" varies widely across the USA. For instance rednecks from Illinois west of Chicago say "earl" instead of oil and "lie-berry" for library. They would "warsh" their car and themselves once a week. LOL.

I grew up on the Southside of Chicago and African American lingo from the Southside was not the same as African American lingo from the Westside. Most if it was the same but not all of it. So even within a single city dialects can be different.

Of course as a white guy from a working class neighborhood on the Southside the top of my house was a "ruff" and it was OK to end sentences with prepositions. White kids from Kenilworth (an upscale suburb north of Chicago) would never speak like that because they had hopes of going to an Ivy.

 

Where I grew up in the Catskill Mountains, we called rednecks scoopers. See the attached article.
Scoopers: Popular Catskills Slang - New York Almanack

 

So another term for ridgerunner.

 

Also hillbilly.

 

Now, I just call them Vols

 

I'm from Panama City. I'm not good enough to be a redneck. I'm a cracker.

 

Do you have any family in the Catskills??

 

Lots of parallels between red neck and inner city culture. Truly different branches but lots of similarities in the cultures. Including slang terms.

 

Similar economic class

 

I live a little further north of there, in Saratoga county, but worked for a time down there and never heard the term.

 

I never heard the term redneck growing up, only scooper.

 

Coach Golden has definitely assembled a lot of talent heading into next season. Now the big question is how quickly and how well all this talent meshes. Definitely going to be higher expectations going into next season. Hoping the Gators can live up to and maybe even exceed them.

 

We were going to miss Tyrese certainly, but we were going to miss Zyon even more. Now we have an incoming PG that can distribute and score, AND has experience at a high level. I think we just lessened the loss of Zyon quite a bit.
Overall, it's looking like a much better defensive team without much dropoff on offense. I like it.

 

I've known plenty of black rednecks.
