	Redneck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Usage of the term "Redneck" generally differs from Hick and Hillbilly, because Rednecks reject or resist assimilation into the dominant culture, while Hicks and Hillbillies theoretically are isolated from the dominant culture.
		The stereotypical redneck lives in a trailer or old weatherbeaten farm house in a rural area, and drives an old, large, beat-up pickup truck, possibly adorned with the Confederate flag, with a gun rack in the rear window.
		Rednecks are often portrayed as lacking education or being ignorant.

	Floridian: Suckers for Florida
		Covington gives his memoir the provocative title Redneck Riviera after the stretch of beach in Florida where his Alabama-born father spent many a family vacation.
		To purists, he points out, "The term "Redneck Riviera' refers only to that stretch of Alabama Gulf Coast between Fort Morgan and Flora-Bama, a lounge that straddles the state line." But to restrict it to just the Alabama side of the coast is a case of splitting hairs, says the author.
		Those lazy summer vacations on the Redneck Riviera of Florida's Panhandle, it turned out, had made the elder Covington an easy mark for two land-scamming brothers.
