Definition of a redneck needed

I tried to explain to a friend of mine what "redneck" means last night. I don't think I did that good job, though. So, help me out here! How would you explain what a redneck is to someone who has no idea?
Thanks,
Sandie

You might be a Redneck if…
Your dog eats more then you do.
You go only once a month to town to do your laundry.
Your video library consists only of every episode of The Dukes Of Hazzard and every episode of Hee-Haw.
You've ever wore a pair of cowboy boots to a formal party.
You feel naked if you leave the house without your cowboy hat.
It's Saturday night and your biggest decision is the bar or your best friend's wedding-You chose the bar.
Most of your Christmas presents came from a truck stop.
The rest of your Christmas presents came from Goodwill.
Your town has more cows than people living in it.
Most of your dishes and silverware came from restaurants (and you didn't buy them).
You've ever been arrested on obscenity charges because you wore your favorite t-shirt out in public.
When you move your house moves with you.
You walk in your front door and you are in your back yard.
You drive around in a red ford f 150 jacked up on big wheels with a rebel flag in the back.
You carry your guns around with you everywhere you go.
The Halloween pumpkin on your front porch has more teeth than your spouse.
You let your twelve-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids.
You've been married three times and still have the same in-laws.
Anyone in your family ever died right after saying, "Hey, watch this!"
You've got more than one brother named, "Darryl."
Your Junior/Senior Prom had a day care.
You think the last words to The Star Spangled Banner are, "Gentlemen, start your engines."
You lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels.
You have flowers planted in a bathroom fixture in your front yard.
Ya can't get married to yer sweetheart 'cause there's a law against it.
You think loading the dishwasher means getting your wife drunk.
Your toilet paper has page numbers on it.

A redneck is a stereotypical southern United States socially conservative, rural, working class white person of northern European ancestry.
The term can be used both as a pejorative or as a matter of pride (like your hero, Gretchen Wilson).

If your wife's ever said "honey - could you move this transmission - i wanna take a bath"
If you've ever mown your lawn and found more than 3 cars.
If strangers stop at your house regularly and ask if you're having a yard sale.
If you're wife's ever had her hair-do destroyed by a ceiling fan.
If you've ever had to repaint a water tower to defend your sister's honor.
If you think a family reunion is a great place to pick up chicks.
You think Possum is "the other white meat"
Your front porch collapses and 4 dogs get killed.
Your family tree has no forks.
You owe 1/2 of your annual income to the taxidermist.
You have to go outside to get something outta the 'fridge.
Your idea of quality entertainment is a 6-pack and a bug zapper.
(BTW - i just added Gretchen Wilson's little ditty as a ringer on my phone to annoy my BF who lived most of his lilfe in Missouri)

She asked what "redneck" means. I'm sorry for actually supplying what was asked. Good grief.

It is called Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) - not to be confused with OCD. And I make no apologies for it!

hehe thought for years that my hubby's ex would call Springer when we first got together. She swore to people at college (I was graduated but still had friends there) that I put a spell on him to make him leave her.

Don't confuse "redneck" and "white trash". Although the two are not mutually exclusive, they are not one and the same.

And by the way, Gretchen Wilson isn't my hero... I love her music, though.
