7 Deadly Sins: Comments

Gravatar Yes, you are an elitist bastard, and as a proud descendent of actual hillbillies, I resent your misusage of the term.

The proper term, in this context, is white trash.

Hillbilly is only correct if you are referencing backward ass country f**ks who live in the Appalachian or Ozark mountains.



Gravatar I hate to bring this up, but you know when you are constructing a sentence about how somebody is stupid, you need to quadruple-check for typos. And then check a few more times for good measure.

Just saying...

Gravatar If you hate to bring it up, why did you?


Gravatar Ok, I lied, I didn't hate it.


Gravatar Ya know... You might be helpful and point out the error instead on holding me up "morally-equal" derision...


Gravatar Hey, it wasn't "derision" and certainly not moral equivalence. More an "Oops! Been there, done that..."

Is it really OK to call anyone a “Hillbilly” just because they too stupid to live


There is supposed to be an "are" between the "they" and the "too." (Just think of it as comforting proof that while you are a computer geek, you aren't an autistic computer geek, and you have no career chances as a professional proofreader...)

Oh, yeah, and speaking as a proud descendent of people who moved to western Kentucky in the 1790's, I gotta agree with trouble that the correct technical term is white trash. (And are they ever! Where the heck do you find these losers for neighbors? You've gotta get that target scrubbed off your forehead!)

Gravatar 1) I really hate that label.
2) Only half of it applys.

Any other suggestions?


Gravatar I've always preferred the word "redneck", but don't consider it a bad thing.

Trailer trash? You don't actually need to live in a trailer to fall into that category, just look at the Clintons.


Gravatar I consider my self somewhat of a redneck, so that's out and while "trailer trash" captures the essence of what I am saying, it does seem to require a "trailer".


Gravatar so, what you're saying is that they are is trash of a non-descript shade?

Aka TOANS?



I used to be married to one a them.


Gravatar (I'm tappin into my hillbilly roots if'n you'ns cain't tail)


Gravatar My Daddy's Daddy wuz frum Arkansaw, an boy wuz my Daddy prowd win he got hiz furst payr uh shooz fer skool, an a hardly-uzed hornbook fer larnin.

I believe trailor trash is the term you want, and it's only elitist if you believe your favored status as non-trailor trash should allow you certain things it doesn't allow them, like, say, breathing.

If you think it allows you certain things like, say, the money you earn, then that's not elitist, because they could earn money too. Hypothetically speaking.
