In an attempt to put this one in its rightful place, "uncle Dick" (the
all seeing Oxford English dictionary) defines hick as follows
hick, n. (colloq) Yokel......
and Yokel is defined as
Yokel, n. Country fellow, rustic
Now, if you go to Websters, you get
hick, n. an unsophisticated provincial person
Yokel, n. a naive or gullible inhabitant of a rural area or small town
So it isnt applied to any particular region or area, only to certain
types of area
Funnily enough, neither volume provides an adequate definition of
"wanker"
(joking lads, joking!)
