hillbilly

Definition: A person from the country, typically with crude manners, speech 
and dress.

Example: 1) When I stepped onto his property, the hillbilly came out of his 
shack, grabbed his shotgun, and yelled "Yeehaw!"

2) Man, I love that hillbilly music!

Etymology: This somewhat offensive term is used to describe poor people livi
ng in the hills of rural America - a 'hill' is a small mountain, and 'billy'
 is a man's name.

Synonyms: hick
