    Perhaps a bogan is closer to a hillbilly? Two very different things. Webster's dictionary defines them as:

    hill·bil·ly
    n. Informal pl. hill·bil·lies
    1. A person from the back woods or other remote area. Is often partial to moonshine and banjos. Almost always lives in a shack with a rocking chair on the front porch. Likes to whittle.


    red·neck
    n. Informal pl. red-necks
    1. A person who lives in a semi-well kept house in a semi-remote area. Usually no further than two miles from the nearest place to buy ammo and chewing tabacco. Has a collection of guns and has a fondness for killing things smaller than him. Has at least several hunting dogs for this purpose. Usually drives a very well-kept pickup truck.

    I have respect for hillbillies. Rednecks are some of the lowest of the low. Neither of these archetypes are to be confused with Trailer Trash.

    Americans usually say tomaytoes and Brits say tomahtoes
    no one says potahtoes cus its silly
    We would just laugh at each other
    nothing would get done in the world
    as we would be too busy getting each other
    to say the word so that we could
    roll around laughing
    perhaps we could form an elite
    group in the forum called "The tomato heads" ?
    where each of our posts has to end in the word "tomato"

    I'm sure I've heard Irish and Scottish folk calling potatoes potahtoes..

    Probably thinking of all those Christopher Columbus movies, when he dumps his gifts on the table and says "Here Queenie, I got you some tomahtoes and potahtoes!"

    Nobody actually says "tomahtoes". They made that up for the song. Only fictional/British people say "tomahtoes".
