There's an important distinction to be made between rednecks and hillbillies. The south would like you toe believe that anything non-urban is redneck, this is not so.

    Hillbillies are generally a specific type of non urban. Here in Appalachia we refer to them as off the mountain. You don't just run into hillbillies. You have to go where they go.

    The rest of us are rednecks. I don't think redneck is "everyone south and rural" but it's pretty close.
