BTW, "Redneck" actually comes from a Scottish Clan that wore a red scarf around the neck...It was not a designation of undesireables or scruffy southerners.
Just like REO is NOT "Real Estate Owned" but is in reality to the banking industry "Real Estate Other"...the real estate industry did not understand that it was non producing real estate so it got called Real Estate Owned...so did the wearers of the red scarff become Rednecks.
Good Luck,
