    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.

    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.

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

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

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

    Jeff Borzello will have to reverse course on our ranking now that the Urban landscape has changed. o_O

    21. Florida Gators
    Previous ranking: 20

    Florida struck gold in the portal last spring and reeled in three transfers this year. The Gators also have All-American candidate and one of the nation's top scorers in Walter Clayton Jr., and Will Richard is a double-figure scorer. Former Florida Atlantic star Alijah Martin will slot in seamlessly. Todd Golden should have plenty of frontcourt options too: Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh are back, while Sam Alexis (Chattanooga) and Rueben Chinyelu (Washington State) have arrived.

    Projected starting lineup

    Walter Clayton Jr. (17.6 PPG)
    Alijah Martin (13.1 PPG at Florida Atlantic)
    Will Richard (11.4 PPG)
    Alex Condon (7.7 PPG)
    Reuben Chinyelu (4.7 PPG at Washington State)

    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. :emoji_thumbsup::)

    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.
