Help[Opinions] Re: Redneck rube? What does it mean? Nt
in reply to a message by Felie
Going to the American dictionary at dictionary dot com ...
It's the safe way to explain this thing.
redneck
1. an uneducated white farm laborer, especially from the South.
2. a bigot or reactionary, especially from the rural working class.
rube
an unsophisticated person from a rural area; hick.
hick
an unsophisticated, boorish, and provincial person; rube.
For whatever it's worth, I have a similar association with Amos.
Asa does sound rural South to me too, but antiquated - I don't think I'd think of it if I met a child Asa.

Everywhere there are some prejudices like this.
Also in Italy if you hear names such Addolorata or somenthing like this you can imagine a stereotype of Southern-Italian person.

I mean, to be fair, the parents DO live in rural Wisconsin, which is a help of a lot more redneck than anyone gives us credit for...
