- gamegoblin 14y agoI mainly meant sounding "redneck" as in "rural/uneducated" rather than a standard southern accent. I am from a large city in the South, so there is a heavy distinction between "southern" accents and "redneck" accents. Even here in the city, there is a stigma against "redneck" accents (but not southern accents).
