"A country boy can survive"

A-men

Who are you calling soft? No beerbelly here!

newguy, do NOT address me as "little miss jeanc."

No, I do NOT have "my own interpretation on words." I explained that the
term generally accepted around here as to mean a person who is a
troublemaker.

I'm not going to put up with your insipid insults just because the
nomenclature in my area differs from yours.

Since when is little miss an insult? It's sure not in the South I live
in.

Because, as a woman damn near half a decade old, I don't consider being
called "Little Miss" a compliment. Not only that, the term was obviously
meant as an insult, considering he went on to state that I have my "own
interpretation on words," as though I had made up the definition of the
term simply to suit my own agenda.

But it's no skin off my teeth...if you guys want to insist that
"redneck" ONLY means one who is an upstanding, hard worker who helps his
neighbors, etc., then you can spend all the time you need trying to
figure out why on earth I would hate them.

glen, posting a link to a website does not prove a damn thing. LOL.

I’m extremely soft right now.

I just had an extremely intense mind-blowing toe-curling orgasm that
just drained so much sexual energy out of me that I may not want to
think about sex again for a whole hour.

Sad to say it was a self-inflicted courtesy of one hell of an
imagination and a little bit of manual labor.

But ooooohhhhh was it worth it!

Yahoo!

Now I know where they got the name for that web site! (ha ha)

Now what was the question again?

Oh yeah, what does it mean for a man to be ‘hard’ or ‘soft’?

I’m a hard worker, but I’m very compassionate too.

So I don’t understand the question.

Sorry.

"Redneck, in modern usage, predominantly refers to a particular
stereotype of people who may be found in many regions of the United
States or Canada. Originally limited to Appalachia and the American
South, and later the Ozarks and Rocky Mountains, this stereotype is now
widespread in other states and the Canadian provinces. The word can be
used either as a PEJORATIVE (caps for emphasis) or as a matter of pride,
depending on context."

Pejorative: having a disparaging, derogatory, or belittling effect or
force.

Didja get that last part, BG? Well, didja???

..."DEPENDING ON CONTEXT?"


Have a nice day!

Abra, that was wayyyy TMI!

lol!

I let a person know that I was offended. I never denied the usage of the
word in their " neck of the woods". I explained that the word meant more
than that to many other people.
In MY (capitolized to emphasize MY) opinion, A simple acknowledgement of
a misunderstanding would have sufficed. Instead, I found myself in a
"Who's more stubborn" contest.

My feeling was and still is that I was insulted. My feeling won't change
in that regard. How the person that "allegedly" insulted me handles
themselves is not anything that I can control.

To all my friends who are sick of this thread, I'm sorry, but don't read
it.

For all my friends that are getting a kick out of ot, Enjoy the ride.

For anyone who insists that my feelings on the subject are wrong,
childish or just plain stupid, Oh well.
I guess it just must be the "redneck" in me.

Well, that's on you, then, BG, not on me. I can't help it if you
couldn't determine the proper context of my remark and consequently,
took offense to it. Can't please all the people all the time.

If I thought the term "redneck" meant "good person," and someone stated
"I hate rednecks," then I'd think, "Hmm..why do they hate good people?"
followed by, "They must mean that in its other context."

Jean,
We've gone over it time and again. believe me I understand your point.
I've said repeatedly that I understand your point.
What I haven't heard from you is that you understand mine, And that
maybe just because you haven't used the word that way before, Maybe
you'd think twice about using it that way again.
But you are oh so right Jean, You can't please everybody all the time.

Well though the lecture series "What is a redneck" was fascinating (i
laughed,I cried,i shot a deer..)the subject at hand is even more
interesting.men.
I think men and women are becoming more open to each other and I see
chivalry all over the place.I like a man who can communicate his
feelings.so my answer to the soft thing is no.

Glenn, if you had understood my point, then you would have understood it
would make no sense whatsosever for me to have said what I said, if I
was using the term the way in which you understand its definition to be.

Again, why would I state that I hated "good people?"

And no, I will NOT think twice about using it again, because, ONCE
AGAIN, it's a matter of using it (or interpreting it...or at least it
SHOULD be) in its proper context.

The reason this goes on and on is because you claim to understand all of
this that I've explained, ad nauseam, then you turn around and
completely discount it by stating you were (and are) offended by it.

First off, I am not the type of person to just go around making
derogatory marks about people, for no good reason whatsosever.

Secondly, I sure as HELL wouldn't make a derogatory remark against
someone who was a "good person," because that would just be silly.

jeanc...how did I insult you?

little....your smaller then me
miss......your not married
jeanc.....your screen name right?

All of this seemingly off topic b.s. about rednecks is actually somewhat
related...some men are definitely NOT "soft."

LOL...riiight, NG.

You took all those things into consideration when you called me "Little
Miss Jeanc."

Okay, if you say so.

Could you not say that, "With the knowledge" that some people interpret
a phrase differently than you always have, It would be fair to
reconsider the way you've used that term in the past as not to be
insulting, no matter how innocently your intent?
