Hi - my name is Meg and I am a redneck because I live in the South and I use the word Yankee occasionally to refer to people that live far North of me that do not understand Southern ways and Southern culture
Because if simply using the word Yankee makes me a redneck - then so be it!
Meg, that was a classy response. I had to put my "bitch mittens" on immediately after reading that diatribe from the redneck-basher....lol. otherwise no telling what I would have posted.
OK, in case you are wondering what bitch mittens are - well, you can't type with mittens on, and putting on mittens is easier than putting on and then later removing duct tape!
Sign me up. "Rednecks anonymous".
"hi, my name is Kim and I am a Southerner! Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, who is tolerant of everyone else - whether you and I share the same lifestyle, beliefs or yes, even those of you who weren't fortunate enough to have been born in the South.
If you are not equally as tolerant, may I offer that I-75 (insert interstate highway of your choice here) has a northbound lane as well, and this might be a wonderful time for you to get acquainted with it"

I come from a family full of proud Yankees.
You wonderful Southern Gentlemen and Belles can feel free to call any of us that any time you want, and if you ever come vist me, we may even take a trip over to Hoboken on the good 'ole Yankee Clipper
Also, once you go outside the USA, we are ALL Yanks to the rest of the world anyway
And on an semi-related note, my wonderful Yankee mother has been a full on loyal hardcore Yankee fan since 1939
^^^those posts above are why I love ya'll - Inforoo at it's finest - its what makes me stick around even when I get frustrated with the trolls at times

right on! I married into a family of Brooklynites (is that right?) and they are great people. I love visiting NYC !
everyone should be proud of their heritage but at the same time be open to learning about other things. We are all Americans, and our country was founded on diversity - remember the inscription on the Statue of Liberty..."give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..."
As long as its all in fun I don't see any reason why we can't poke good natured fun at one another. My kids and husband are constantly telling me what a "hick" I sound like....lol.
