People generally have the perception of Kentucky being a underpopulated, wooded hicksville where we dont wear shoes and sit on our porches and play banjo's. LOL. O how very wrong they are. ALOT of Kentucky is extremely Urban. I get called A yank and a redneck and a few other Southern-related words on the net all the time...but these people that are calling me that dont even realize that kentucky is no different than where there living, lol.
Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz RollGrowing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you"

For me, personnaly I've been called both yank and yankee when i've been down south. I find it HIGHLY offensive, but only coming from people from down south (old remenant of the civil war, i guess). If some random person up here said that to me, i'd probably think in my head "ok...?"
