Quiz... how hillbilly are you

I got 15/40, plus I braided a rug, and canned fruit/jams (peaches, quince, and grapes).
Traveling to Greece several times, to the island (in the 70s and 80s), I got exposed to quite a bit of "country-style" living -
-we used an outhouse (the houses didn't have bathrooms then)
-we picked all kinds of herbs off the mountain
-we made our own cheese and yogurt
-we fished - not only fish, but squid and octopus
-we rode donkeys
-we milked goats
-dug up greens to cook them
-used blanched grape leaves to make dolmades (stuffed grape leaves)
plus more

Is there a Greek equivalent to hillbilly or redneck. Maybe country girl?
 
I don't consider this list to be reflective of true hillwilliams. It's more related to a rural lifestyle. Really...owning a bb gun and driving a standard transmission equipped vehicle make you a hillbilly? I call BS.

I agree. And it doesn't even relate to being rural. My mother hung out clothes to dry on the clothesline and I caught lightning bugs in a jar as a kid and we were definitely city people!

29 out of 40 and my stick shift experience was about five minutes in an MG, too.

I really didn't have to get any of the forty. I was born and raised in West Virginia, therefore I am a hillbilly.

I think we need a few more girl questions:
Have you ever canned your own applesauce, tomatoes, peaches, green beans anything?
Have you ever sewn anything on a treadle machine?
Have you ever braided a rug?
Did you ever make a chain from clover?
Did you ever have a boy put a frog down your back?
Did you ever walk across a swinging bridge while some boy jumped up and down on it?
Did you ever pick ticks off a dog?

I have 5 out of the 7.

Yes. "Choriatis" for male, and "choriatisa" for female. The Greeks have made fun of them in old comedies (1950s-60s). Some Greek actors made a living on that concept, acting like them. These comedies show the "choriatis" going to the city with their goats and wearing their herd outfits and talking slang or dialect. Usually, in the end, they outsmart the city slickers.
