When I was growing up, my parents had the craziest friends. They called themselves the Hick-A-Nuts and would have t-shirts made for any occasion: golf tournaments, ski trips, summer parties. The goal was to be as tacky as possible. Pink flamingo yard decorations, beer fountains, crude behaviour, sending the kids away for two weeks so they won't witness the parties.
For some reason, no one seems to ever ask where the name hick-a-nut came from. I asked my parents and apparently it's what people from southern Alabama call southern Georgia rednecks. Being from southern Georgia must really be backwoods for southern Alabama to have a term for it.
