Yeah, Floridians definitely use the "cracker" term to refer to their own. Especially the inland areas from Orlando north, which aren't much different from the parts of Georgia and Alabama that they border on ...

Yup, they're meaner and scrappier than all. Toss in some readilly available designer drugs and people start dying...

Explain me the difference? Serious question, not meant for yuks.


Redneck = Duck Dynasty

White trash = Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

Here, listed from No. 1 to No. 10, is the final cut:

Atlanta, GA
Kansas City, MO
Oklahoma City, OK
Nashville, TN
Tulsa, OK
Fort Worth, TX
Arlington, TX
Sacramento, CA
Cleveland, OH
Mesa, AZ

Full story: http://www.movoto.com/blog/top-ten/10-m ... eck-cities


Im not sure how Atlanta made the list. The city of Atlanta is far from redneck. Did the people doing that list even go to midtown?

puzzling list, but they're ranked by criteria:

Percent of population that didn’t complete high school
Number of gun and ammo stores per capita
Number of taxidermists per capita
Number of cowboy boot stores per capita
Number of country radio stations per capita
Number of NASCAR race tracks close by
Number of Walmarts per capita
Number of riding lawn mower/tractor repair shops per capita

No wonder they got such skewed results. These are the wrong criterion. Should have looked at garages that install lift kits, and hunting and fishing licenses.

Based on these criteria, Louisville should have been a lock.
