    No, but there are some Marsh Billies that live down the road. We live in the flatland's of the Marsh in South Eastern Georgia. So the hills here, have no eyes.

    People who are red necks don't have red necks necessarily. Thus people termed hillbillies are a reflection of their relatives who supposedly came from the hills. But that doesn't make people who do not live in the hills NOT hillbillies.

    It is a term for the ones who just fit the bill.

  • Nope.  Just  river rats.

    You have to liive in the hills to have hillbllies next door.   If that's the case then you are one too.   Met lots of them.   Good people usually.

    Didn't say bad.  Said HILL. 

    You don't have to be in the hills to be a hillbilly.  

    They're everywhere.  We borrowed the term to fit all people who like to fry bacon in their double-wide.

    You need to move.  They are influencing you and coloring your thoughts.
