Theres rednecks all over. But rednecks usually refer to northerners as
yankees when the two words are used with a common meaning. Then theres the d@*# yankee. That's a northerner that moves to the south and keeps talking about how good it was up north, but won't go home. <>< TC |

Gasoline - you have imperial gallons, maybe? If I remember correctly about
125% of a U.S. gallon. Price here just started dropping - down to $2.43 at the Safeway discount for regular. 2.65 for premium. -BaH |

REDNECK - basicly someone who is prejudice. As others have said usually
refers to a poor southerner. Yankee - someone who lives above the Mason-Dixson line (or was born there). That's the line that divided the north from the south during the civil war. A LOT of folks have no idea where that line was, though. For instance, most folks think Maryland is a northern state (not so). Mineral spirit(s) - (gotta add the "s"). As someone else siad it's a solvent like turpentine; usually used for cleaning greasy parts. |
