You sure lucked out with that last name, then.

Redneck is a common term that Americans use for country folk from the South. Flyover states are states in the central part of the United States and they're called flyover states because so many people never actually go there, they just end up flying over as they travel. Rope tobacco was often sold in rural general stores in the southern part of the US. Corn cob pipes are those hideous things that some pitiable souls smoke.

A fair translation up until the wholly gratuitous swipe at my beloved cobs.

 

[Sgetz]

Just another redneck from Flyover Country, putting whatever rope they had at the general store in my cob.

I do like my whiskey.

Welcome from Durham in the UK. And where is flyover country?

Didn't understand anything from the first sentence but nevertheless warm welcome to our company friend, from Greece...

- It now seems that I didn't understand half of it either, and I'm a native Anglophone... 'flyover' in English English means one road crossing another by means of a bridge. 'Flyover country', in the other hand, I have now discovered, means a part of the world where aeroplanes don't land because it is sparsely populated (so I live in 'flyover country' too

Flyover Country is the land between the coasts populated by the elites and the massive urban s***holes, the small towns and farmlands where normal people live and the rest never visit, just fly over.

Thanks for that. It's not a phrase I was familiar with.

Thanks for that. It's not a phrase I was familiar with.

In common use here, but the expression is parochial by nature.
