Worked with a South African few years back, Afrikaans term 'redneck' means newly arrived 'Englishman', European not born in South Africa that gets sunburned bad around neck area, back of neck where small hats don't protect from sun. Native born learn early to wear bigger hats and growing up the neck gets a good tan, no longer burns/turns red. Another source from old union organizing days coal mines, industry- the union activist wore red bandannas around necks, revolutionary colors of Wobbly/worker of world Marxists organizers. Red Bandanna also worn by farm workers, small farmers gave them the same term at times in South. alternate blue neck cover wasn't popular with some former confederates and descendants- 'Yankee' color. Grey or brown might have been preferred- red was acceptable of the common cheap hanky colors- dye stocks for red had some iron, blue had some copper(?), yellow and green only moderately popular. Green was 'San Patricio' in Mexico meaning Irish descent or trooper - Catholic of acceptable social standing anyway. Now might be 'Blood' colors, Blue is 'Crips', green still seen in Boston and some other IRA leaning area. Here the 'colors' mean IHC, Ford-NH, or John Deere-- often driven by rednecks. RN.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
