Redneck is not a dialect, it was orrigenally used to mean a farmer because they work in the feilds and got sun burned on there necks.

I’m a Newfoundlander and am highly offended to be listed as Canada’s version of “rednecks”. I realize that we are recognized for our variety of Irish-influenced dialects here, but the term “redneck” is indicative of ignorance and lack of education. Someone’s dialect should not earn them a such a reputation, when it generally is not the case! Please rethink your labels – they are not only hurtful and rude, but ignorant as well. Yours, L.W., B.A., B.Ed., M.A. (and I’m not alone in my multiple degree status! The majority of my friends, family and even casual acquaintances have at least one university degree, and for the most part, more than one).

I was as amused as everyone to hear that Britney adoped my home city’s accent during her hospital stay. And when Dave’s blog turned to this topic, I ploughed through the first few paragraphs hoping he’d say something unflattering about Brummie accent for a quick laugh. And he didn’t disappoint! And Kyle’s response linking the Brum accent to general insanity was even more amusing. Keep it up, everyone. We in Birmingham absolutely love this. It’s funny every time. Every single f***ing time.

Every country has their Brummies. The French have the Basque; Canada has the Newfiees; States the Rednecks. The question is, why the hell would you imitate that to a doctor. Lets face it, she’s the definition of insane.
