[SOC] Boite de Pandore

The term is a description of folks like myself who are outside in the sun
working our butts off during the summer, and get a "healthy" red glow on the
back of their neck from it.

I'm assuming this term came from whipmy, wussy, whiney office types that
freak out if they get dirt under their fingernails... what would us rednecks
call them?  I smell a thread brewing ;^)

Purely out of curiosity, where does the term 'redeck' orinigate? Or is it so
simple as to describe someone who spends most of the time outside in the hot
sun and gets burnt?

Curious,

Paul :-)
