Up here in Vermont people don't say things like that to other people... maybe its because we have the largest amount of "armed" people per capita of any state (hunters make up most of em')... so people generally stick to themselves.. they certainly don't call people rednecks... mostly because most all of us are or have them in our family... ever fight a farmer before? not usually a good outcome
something about slinging 20,000 bays of hay a year can make one mighty strong.
