Can someone explain the term "Redneck" in the fullest detail, please? Is it specific? Is it vague? Do all "Rednecks" have red necks?

Its meaning has changed over the years. Originally, it was meant as a way to slur someone as "a person who works out of doors all day long", such as a farmer or field laborer as opposed to a city dweller or someone who worked indoors.. It's since transformed into meaning "an ignorant hick, typically from the south".
