Tartan tires?

[madmacs]

I am sorry, but I think its all rather unnecessary and more than a tad sad. Which reminds me. Out of interest, how many, probably in the UK, can remember the cigar advert and the car with "Carlos Fandango wheels"?

Panama perchance?

The Scottish redneck would have the tires laying in the front yard with flowers growing in the center.

As opposed to being stacked (five or six tires high) in the garden, with potatoes growing in them?

A Scottish redneck would likely have left them on the wheel and cut the tyre and rolled it in order to make an urn for the flowers to go in... We're an inventive lot...

Tartan tires , too funny !!!

You might be a Scottish redneck if .......... you own tartan tires .

What exactly is a Scottish redneck?
I've heard the term in the context of Americans, but I never really understood what it meant then either!

Someone that is a hillbilly.

It's a loving, but mildly derogatory term that means country bumpkin or goofy cowboy.

For instance in America, most "rednecks" live in the bayous of Lousiana or in the hill countries of the south.

They generally don't wear shoes, are good natured, fun-loving people of lower educational status. The generalizations are that they have few teeth, bare feet, marry first cousins at 16 years old, are interested in potty humor, and are lacking a sense of ordinary propriety. It is an affectionate term... everyone loves a redneck.

An example of a redneck family: A wedding in military camoflauge with a tractor pulling the wood cart the bride arrives in. The bridesmaids wear ripped mini jean skirts and military boots. The men wear full camo and carry hunting rifles. The cake is held up by a tower of empty beer cans. The bride wears combat boots and carries a plastic bouquet. The food that is served is joked about causing a ruckus wedding night: i.e. pork baked beans.


But in the case of this thread, the references are only to a comic series of descriptives created by comedian Jeff Foxworthy.

No pronunciation for everyone? Chewk_tar... Would be my best guess...

That's how I've always pronounced it. An equivalent word in the north of Ireland is a culchie (Chul chee)

[Burly Brute]

It's good to know in the time of crisis, there is still money spent on new, useful technologies like this... Lol

So a teuchar then?

In a manner of speaking... yes.

That is probably the best comparison.


But if you google redneck and click on images, you'll get a pretty good idea of the comedic value of rednecks.
