I wonder what prompts the differences in my experiences versus yours. I live in a rural area near WV, and not only have I heard the term "rolling coal" from multiple sources, I've seen it done a number of times (not necessarily in cities). In fact, I tend to close my car's vents as a matter of course when I see a truck that looks outfitted for it, as it can be a bit noxious no matter what, and even when they aren't trying for the black cloud the exhaust is worse than usual. A few links referencing rolling coal and its origins: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/jmb4d8/nothing-wrong-with-rolling-coal-711 https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/jmb4d8/nothing-wrong-with... http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2014/07/rolling_coal_conservatives_who_show_their_annoyance_with_liberals_obama.html http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/201... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_coal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_coal I've met self-identified rednecks many times, but only one self-identified hillbilly (lives in VA). I think the former term has more memetic potency at the moment; hillbilly seems more outmoded (probably why they used it), and even seems to conjure a more hippie aesthetic, somehow. I'd agree on coal or white-water rafting as stereotypes over forests. WV does have some nice parks and forests, though.
