A Rose by Any Other Name ...

The whole scene impressed Venters
as a wild, austere, and mighty manifestation of nature
--Riders of the Purple Sage, Zane Grey

Now I don't mind choppin' wood,
and I don't care if the money's no good
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
--The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Band

Redneck, cracker, hillbilly, Oakie boy, ridge-runner, hick, trailer trash . . . Call them what you will, every gun culture's got 'em, and they have a fan base. In the South, you're stylin' if you have a triple gun rack back of your cab. Often, a woman will occupy the passenger seat, but she is the secondary objet d'art; the true coups are the shotguns and hopefully, the carcass in the truck bed.
