It can be a derogatory slang term similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks), and white trash.<br /><br />By 1975, the term had expanded in meaning beyond the poor Southerner to refer to "a bigoted and conventional person, a loutish ultra-conservative." It is often used to attack white Southern conservatives. The term is also used broadly to degrade working class and rural whites that are perceived by urban progressives to be insufficiently liberal. At the same time, some white Southerners have reclaimed the word, using it with pride and defiance as a self-identifier.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-59708396497658809002014-07-06T11:07:54.864-04:002014-07-06T11:07:54.864-04:00Anon 0015 and 0937:

It is the cost of doing business around here.

Are you sure they want to be known as a contemporary redneck restaurant? I mean is that really the goal, to have such a troublesome connotation with their restaurant? I mean its their right, but is the this direction H Street is going? It is frankly to alienate all other than white people who are middle class and above? I guess maybe the poor whites I knew who hated to be called rednecks, well they are too poor to matter, and the rest of us don't matter. Thank you again FT for waving the flag of middle class and above white supremacy. Classy, I mean real classy. What next, a theme restaurant based on the film: C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America? Will their be lynch the negro hangman style games, or prizes for the best racist asian accent? Really classy FT, and super classy H Street. <br /><br />-RobbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-87457660064926047452014-07-04T01:23:15.102-04:002014-07-04T01:23:15.102-04:00What do foreigners know about country western bars...What do foreigners know about country western bars? nothing, that's what!HayNownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-70526670835804476362014-07-03T19:05:26.482-04:002014-07-03T19:05:26.482-04:00A place called Miss Kitty's should be old west...A place called Miss Kitty's should be old west themed and have waitresses dressed up in bustiers and short bustle skirts.<br /><br />pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088731122765315298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-17134615109354676292014-07-03T17:04:08.512-04:002014-07-03T17:04:08.512-04:00i miss Souk too.
