I call them that because I worked for Budweiser distributor for 15 years and the rednecks there made my life hell because their mommies never taught them to hold a glass like a big boy. They all would have demanded I be fired for smoking weed, though I was the one that never got into any trouble for either drinking or smoking. When they started random testing, I quit the weed. I'm in Idaho btw.
