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

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 :)
