You can call me anything you want. I don't care. So long as it is
justified. Do I have a red neck? Yes. Am I a bigot? No. Was I born and
raised in Texas? Yes. Do I have some Bubba-like traits? Yes. Am I a
gimmie-cap wearing, beer-belly, Pearl beer swilling, white trash,
uneducated, thieving, family abusing piece of garbage? Not at all. See
how prejudice can get in the way?

**********
I think I over-stated my emotion. I would be ****ed - to a point. Meaning
I wouldn't like it. But I wouldn't really care (& never have) what anyone
calls me - justified or not. I've been called a lot worse. Sticks &
stones...
Which was my point; why does anyone get so upset because of a slang term,
which is not even (always) derrogatory in the first place?
BTW; what's a "gimmie-cap"?

.................I haven't been reminded about Pearl beer for a long long
time since I lived in Houston during the 70's.

Nasty, nasty stuff

Now you got me thinking about the Japanese Aggie. On Dec 7th he bombed the
Pearl Brewery. . . . (And probably improved its output.)

Most people think of that as some kind of baseball cap. See there? You
ain't no kind of real redneck after all!:~)

The guy said it was a GMC cap (I guess a baseball cap but with GMC on it).
I would have called it a "Jimmy" cap, but then that probably would also
confuse everyone too...

I checked Websters for the definition & found out I'm a ****** (according
to the third definition).
