Still not hillbillies. That's an epithet exclusive to rural whites east of the Mississippi.

I do not advise you to go to Hill Country and throw that term around.

Note I was responding specifically to your comment. Jolly’s point is taken, as I said I would have said redneck.

I am, after all, the only born Texan here.

And I figure I've spent turn near as much time in Texas as you have...Used to hunt between Fredricksburg and Doss.

And no, there ain't no hillbillies in the Golden Triangle.
