I'm going out Sunday morning at the crack of dawn but rest assured there will be no pictures for anyone to guess where we will be. My secret spots nobody but me and the NSA cell phone GPS trackers know about. :have-a-nice-day:

Agreed..this topic took a bad turn. It started out as Family, Friends, and Bronze. Let's get back to those types of topics.

Don't worry, everyone will kiss and make up. The whole problem is the crappy ratio of our fishing knowledge vs our ability to actually use it.

Hey Mitch funny but wrong. I was born in 19farty one in sight of the White Water tower at Grand and 20th sts. There was no North county in the Fartys other then Jennings Ferguson etc. The term was not Hoosiers it was Missouri Hoosier and was used to deride folks who moved to St.Louis from southern Missouri, Arkansas or other southern states to find work in the auto plants or other industries. As a side note there was a hotel for female Christian Missouri Hoosiers and no men were allowed above the first floor lobby but that's another story. Now the Missouri Hoosiers should not be confused with the folks who came to this country before WW1 we were just called rednecks or white trash if we didn't pay our bill at the Butcher shop at the end of the week. "That is probably why I pay my bills on time" So if your parents were born in the St Louis Metro area you can't possibly be a MO Hoosier. But you can be a Redneck which I think is a thing of pride or if you don't pay your tab at the Butcher shop each week you might be White trash That's all I got from 5 miles south of Interstate Farty Far

Now that's some funny stuff!

So which term is more derogatory...

Hill billy

Redneck

Hoosier

Hick

White trash

Bumpkin????

Hillbilly is a term of endearment. Drink of choice...moonshine.

Redneck, regardless of its origins, means a southerner that has all the worst attitudes of southerners and flies Rebel flags in several places. Drink of choice, any cheap beer.

Hoosier with a capital H is somebody from Indiana (or a member of the Indiana University athletic teams). With a small h, it's pretty close to white trash no matter where they are from, but cooking meth and growing pot doesn't have to be involved. Drink of choice...they'll drink anything.

Hick is a country person with little education and proud to be illiterate. Drink of choice...whatever's on sale at the local Walmart.

White trash is anybody white who engages in illegal activities, is willfully ignorant, and is even prouder than the hick to be illiterate. Meth is often involved. Drink of choice is anything alcoholic if they can't get high on meth or pot.

Bumpkin is kinda like a hick but a little funnier. Gomer Pyle was a bumpkin. Drink of choice...Coca Cola.
