You let every yahoo have an internet connection, and then they start complaining.
We never should have let the wimmins learn to read.
Wait.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The owners of Yahoo have an issue with you calling goofy (and/or ignorant people) "yahoos".
Wimmins - I have no issue with. Ha.

Funniest conversation I ever had? My cousins delineating the heirarchy (sp?) of redneck, hillbilly, hilljack, and white trash. My cousins put themselves firmly in the redneck category because while they may hunt and chew tobacco, they do not let any broken down vehicle sit on their land for more than the two days it might take to get the wrecker out to their place AND (this one killed me) - they let the dogs sleep indoors.

That sounds like a conversation my brother and I need to hear. I believe we are rednecks, though Our People are hillbillies.

What is a Hilljack?
The one word origin thing that I heard was false was that picnic comes from picaninnies (sp). We did stop having an end of year picnic and started having a cookout- which in fact was much more descriptive of what we did, since it did not involve baskets

From what I gathered, one who lives in a run-down trailer, rv, or vehicle, on a tract of land that is questionable in owenership, though noone really bothers with it. Almost living entirely off the grid and without running water.

Interesting. I had never heard that term. Upstate NY is full of poor rural white people, but we don't seem to have names.

Oh, and on the language usage thing- I no longer use gypped now that I know the origin (and how to spell it), but if I was, I don't know, writing from the point of view of Archie Bunker, I think it would be bad if I shied away from using the offensive term, as it is totally something he would say.
