Oh, Britney definitely does. I've always taken it to be synonymous with being a hick, something I've been accused of recently elsewhere. As for Paris Hilton, I'd consider her a skank. Chubby Mommy's last blog post..Head? Meet Wall. Wall? Meet Head.

It’s not surprising that I don’t “understand” it the way Wikipedia does. After all, if I look at it their way I am sooooo white trash.

Perhaps I should embrace and enjoy that? yeah… I can do that!

Meanings change over time and I still think Paris Hilton is white trash. Oh, and Britney Spears probably fits “both” definitions.

LOL. Well, your definition certainly differs from the norm. Chubby Mommy's last blog post..Parents Investigated Due to Psychic’s “Vision”

OK, I see your point, but it's odd that I never think of "white trash" when I think of rednecks, etc. I think of Paris Hilton. Donna B.'s last blog post..2nd Amendment Really Is About An Individual Right

Well, mostly it’s because Kansans don’t like being made fun of. Besides, who’d know I was in costume?

Then, too, there’s a bit of a backlash from the redneck, cowboy, hillbilly “community”. (God, I just made myself sick typing that phrase.) Essentially it boils down to asking why it’s wrong to make fun of stereotypes of every other group but okay to call others “white trash”?

I'm curious why the redneck costume might not go over well in Kansas. I really thought rednecks were the last "ethnicity" one could make fun of. Rednecks and Hillbillies and Cowboys... what have I not noticed? Not that I'm famous for being observant anyway. Donna B.'s last blog post..2nd Amendment Really Is About An Individual Right

I'm not so sure the redneck one would go over well here in Kansas, but I know the SAHM one would, at least with the adults. Problem is that most folks would wonder if it was my costume or if I just forgot, and the majority of them would be too afraid to ask.

Go as a redneck. Wear a plaid shirt, put your hair in pigtails, paint freckles on your face, put tape on a pair of military issue eyeglasses, and get some fake “buckteeth” and you’re all set to go!

Or, wear your pajamas and robe, going as a SAHM.

Or don’t bother to take any of my advice, therefore not embarrassing your son
