OK, this one I can answer!! lol. I stated in a previous post I was a red neck, but actually, I am more of a hill billy. Red necks are more like the "rough and tough" country fellows, whereas hill billys are more of the backward folks from the hills!! lol. Jeff foxworthy is a red neck.....the Beverly hill billys were hill billys lol. I am "backward" lol Marsha
