I wouldn't be surprised if it happens someday. Everybody gets so offended so easily now. I'm pretty sure the term came from oil rig workers. I'm not too far from where The Valley That Changed The World is located. The world's first oil well is named Drake's Well and is a tourist attraction. But I think the term roughneck started in the Texas boom...could be wrong. Redneck came from coal miners. Pretty weird since they didn't get much sun. I believe it was to identify themselves in their gunfights when the labor disputes were going on. I think that the word 'redneck' was only used about half a dozen times across all the seasons of the original show, so it's not like they were censoring a common word for the kids' version. I found a website that compares two words. Here's what it has to say about Roughneck and Redneck (obviously other definitions will vary): roughneck Noun Any laborer on an oil rig A rowdy or uncouth person redneck Noun (slang, pejorative) An uneducated, unsophisticated, or poor Caucasian person, typically used to describe residents (of any gender "Country Music Lyrics New Country Tunes") of the rural Southern US. (slang) The nickname given to miners who wore red bandanas for identification during the West Virginia mine war of 1921. "West Virginia Division of Culture and History" (UK, archaic) The nickname given to Roman Catholics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

I don't think people are really "offended", I think they like to say they are to draw attention to themselves. It's really pathetic when you think about it. It's like they are saying, "treat me differently since I am sensitive". My response to that is, "move over cupcake, only the strong survive".

Amen to that, I am ready for the weekend. Been sitting with a heating pad on my lower back every day after work. Not sure how I strained it but it has been getting a little bit better each day. After 30 plus years of mechanic work who knows. Be glad to get a break for the weekend at least. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the cheaper sedans have been selling for under $35k (some for even less) over the last couple of years, but the convertibles are considerably more.

( The most I've EVER paid for a car was about....??.....$6700! ) I can't afford it either, but it seems cheap for such an iconic classic car. You'd find it difficult to get a 1969 Dodge Charger for that money, and I found a couple of General Lee replicas on sale for $75k-$80k.

It is a 2023 Kawasaki KLX 300. It is not the SM version and is green, not the gray camo version. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( The most I've EVER paid for a car was about....??.....$6700! ) Me too Hobie. All I have ever had is vehicles that my wife handed down after beating them for over a decade. Her latest vehicle topped the $30,000 mark. If she loses the key it costs $600 to replace. You can buy an entire car for less than that in Hobie's used car lot....as long as you like red. If you ask me, I'd rather have a car than just a key but she's put up with for these many years, she deserves something nice and reliable.
