5.0 out of 5 stars FOXWORTHY IS ONE FUNNY GUY!, December 9, 2005

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary: Words You Thought You Knew the Meaning Of (Hardcover)

I remember seeing Jeff Foxworthy on TV for the first time back in the 80's and thinking he was pretty funny but that his redneck schtick would soon grow tiresome and he wouldn't last very long. Boy Was I wrong! Nearly 20 years later Foxworthy is going stronger than he ever has and his material stays fresh all the time. I guess we all like to laugh at the dumb things in life and the fact that he's so popular among those he skewers is testament to just how funny he is. From books to CD's to Television, he continues to be one of the funniest comedians in the game. The Redneck Dictionary will have you laughing your rear off with it's clever words and phrases and their "true" meanings. Let's face it...those of us who don't live in the south absolutely need this book! Fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential translation guide to the South...!, December 6, 2005

By	Britt Gillette "www.brittgillette.com" (Chesapeake, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary: Words You Thought You Knew the Meaning Of (Hardcover)

Man, this is one funny book...! Following on the heels of his massively successful 'Blue Collar Comedy Tour,' Jeff Foxworthy expounds upon one particular element from his stand-up routine where he 'translates' Southern redneck dialect for more "sophisticated" audiences. Foxworthy takes seemingly mundane words and reveals their double-meanings in the world of redneck-speak, such as "innuendo" ("hey, what's that innuendo?")... The Redneck Dictionary is not only clever, it's an absolute work of comic genius. If you love Jeff and his comedy, especially the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, then this book is a definite "must-have" - perfect for stocking-stuffers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, March 13, 2006

By	Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary: Words You Thought You Knew the Meaning Of (Hardcover)

My fourteen-year-old daughter and I are both big fans of Jeff Foxworthy and his blue collar humor! One little skit he likes to run is his redneck dictionary, wherein he shows how words have entirely different meanings to rednecks. Well, now you can read all of his hilarious redneck words in one book, and this is it!

My daughter and I both love Jeff Foxworthy, and we both love this book. If you like Jeff's offbeat humor, then you will love this book as well. We give it two thumbs up!
