When faced with any variation of the same language or a completely different language the words are going to be often baffling....easy to judge the way something is said and misinterpret what a person is saying.....the French understand only what you say with the correct accent and the correct masc or fem usage.just for starters...we all know a car is masc and housekeeping is fem...apron or overalls, obvious right.
...no idea about red necks, although as a kid I did get sun burnt a lot, being a freckle faced kid...this lot seem happy about it though...
