RE: Mexican Gunfighter Part 2

in #history6 years ago

Ok, yes, guns would be a natural for you. I've done a few posts busting the myths about the Wild West. For instance, there has never been a gunfighting incident where two men faced each other down in the middle of the street to see who was the fastest draw. That's a good one since it's such an accepted scene by so many people.

Hey, nothing wrong with field workers. lol..I was one. That's where the term redneck came from, I usually have a sunburnt neck even today from working out in the sun.

Sort:  

I didn't know that about the gunfight thing...Bloody Hollywood huh!

Yeah, I heard that about the redneck thing...We don't use the term much here...Well, we do but it's not a traditional term, just one picked up from America. I'm not sure what the equivalent would be. I'd have to think on that one.

Well, the crazy, back country folk who have dumpy looking places and are odd characters but are super patriotic and have hearts of gold and who are known for their love of guns, big trucks and beer! lol.. that's the redneck in a nutshell. We're in the South exclusively. But I'm a separate breed, that's why I'm a Gentleman Redneck but I'm still a redneck.

A little redneck, a little gentleman...The perfect balance I'd say. 😃
