So don't use it, but if you search on Covenanters, you will find the Scottish use of redneck predates ours. Point of Order. Would it be your opinion that the term made it's way West via the Celtic immigrants who settled in the Appalachian (sp?) Mountains? The way I've read it in various books here and there over the years, the term redneck developed concurrently (parallel development) rather than being totally attributed to the influx of Celtic Presbyterians. In fact, one of Mrs. Wave's dissertation advisors was something of an expert on the subject regional and ethnic identifications and has some compelling evidence that the term "redneck" has been around for a long time in various languages and is not particularly related to strictly English speaking groupings. I happened to mention it to her once at a get together and was treated to forty five minutes of non-stop information about the whole subject. The redneck thing came up as an example. Forgot to mention this - the color red is often used as an indentifier (scarfes, arm bands, war paint, etc.) in periods of rebellion. So it would make sense that the term would spontaneously appear as a result - not necessarily because of a religious disagreement. Then again, we are talking about Celts. :) |

My guess is that you are correct, but attributing the term to the United Mine Workers in the early Twentieth Century, is clearly not correct. The term was used earlier on both sides of the pond.
