Clearly one redneck dictionary was not enough. And it’s no
wonder. The South is positively bursting at the seams with
colorful words and turns of phrases in this distinct
dialect. Now men and women from all across this great land
can further fine-tune their fluency and showcase their
confidence when speaking to folks who hail from below the
Mason-Dixon line. Need a crash course in this truly inspired
lingo? Well, Jeff Foxworthy’s Redneck Dictionary II
puts the “vern” in “vernacular,” offering up a veritable
gumbo of must-be-known selections:
infamy (in’fe-mé)
adv. and n.another person’s intent to exact physical
punishment. “Ever since I stole his girlfriend,
Bobby’s had it infamy.”
assassin (e-sas’-en) v. to
disrespect verbally. “Don’t just stand there assassin me,
boy–go clean your room!”
honor student (än’-er
stu’-dent) prep. and n.to be positioned over, and
supported by, a pupil. “Yeah, I knew piano lessons
after midnight was weird, but I still didn’t suspect nothin’
till I caught her honor student.”
So open your ears
and activate your funny bone with this hilarious, practical,
and playfully illustrated reference. It’s like having your
very own personal dialect coach–one who doesn’t mind getting
picked up and read and laughed at and passed along to friends.
