You Might be a Blue Neck (??)
What the F_K is a Blue Neck? Here is an excerpt from lilligren.com, plus some of my own entries -
Blue Necks are Northerners -- the opposite of Rednecks. Because of Redneck jokes, here are some takes on how Southern folks look at us Northerners (or how Northerners sometimes think of themselves;)
