Lay off the redneck stuff because you have no clue what it means. It DID not originate in WV coal mines it originated from being out in the sun all day manually laboring and having your neck burnt red. Just using the word in that manner is ignorant and degrading to many of us who come from blue collar backgrounds.

There are many versions of the origin of the term. Here is one:

West Virginia Mine War

I've worked outside over half my adult life. In South Florida. In the summer. I don't need lectured by you or anyone else on my lack of blue collar skills or background.
