lol! Yeah, we have a LOT of rednecks around here!!

There's a lot of them everywhere.

Oddly enough, we do around here as well, apparently we have a lot of "kentucky-born" folk~ but what I found really funny is the last time I talked to my Mom, she said I sounded different!

Were you born in Kentucky toots? I have a lot of relatives there.

And "have mercy" is something my mom always said, too.

I looked too Renee! :o

Now I don't know if this is correct but I was told the name "Rednecks" came from the 19th century when folks were out working in the fields all day and got sunburnt on the back of their necks. Don't know if that's true though
