Ain’t been ‘round much lately, and ain’t said nary a thing about learning you proper redneck English and such. So pay ‘tention to what I’ma bout to tell ya so‘s you can know if‘en you‘re a Redneck or ain‘t.

(Translation: It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any Redneck Monday teachings, enlightening you to some of our redneck sayings, descriptions and feelings. Therefore, I will bring you up to date on the latest sayings that will give you an idea if you have any redneck leanings or tendencies.)

When I was a kid a trip into 'the city' took well over an hour and the only places we stopped were the only place in the province that sold replacement parts for automatic milkers, and Woolco (Walmart's predecessor).

Now, a trip into the city takes just around an hour and the only places we stop are Safeway (for the airmiles), Giant Tiger, and Walmart.

Yep, I'ma redneck. 'N proud of it.

Stacy, back in the day my first wife and I were moving into a new apartment because she was pregnant. She was riding in the back of the pickup truck, sitting in a rocking chair, holding on to the dresser mirror. Yee Haaawww!

ME3YO, I have a collection, too. I keep my loose screws, nails and washers in them.

Venom, you make it sound like you lived around Corner Gas (one of the funniest shows we don’t get to see anymore.)

I have an antique ironing board, and once I DID use it for a buffet table! I thought it made a statement; now I know what that statement was!

*serendipity*: word verification is "fugly." Not kidding!

Dazee Dreamer said...

ok, love the overalls. what?

gayle said...

I think my husband is a redneck!:)

Coffeypot said...

suz, 'fugly' is a combination of two words I use when I look into a mirror.

Dazee, I thought that was very cool. Kinda like wearing my 13 button flap Navy pants backward when i had diarrhea.

Coffeypot said...

gayle, you are indeed a lucky woman.

I have a friend who won't let her husband take anything to the dump because he always finds so many "treasures".

I don't know why the wife climbing the tree faster than the cat is the one sticking with me today but it is. And then the one with the dump...well...I do have family members that one applies to. SIGH...

SY said...

anon said...

Huh, I thought I was a redneck, but it seems I'm not qualified after all : (
Its all right, gives me something to aspire to.
