I'm from a relatively small town in Indiana and I've seen my fair share of 'white trash'.
I'm proud to say that I don't consider myself white trash though others may disagree. If I had to associate with a slang phrase describing my social/economical/cultural stature, it would be either redneck, cracker or some mix of the two. Possibly redker or crackneck, maybe even redcrackerneck.
Practically everyone in America knows what Wal-Mart is and how fantastically cheap the place can be. What some people don't realize, probably the people who I'm writing about, is that it is also a Mecca/lair/haven/retreat/sanctum/den/hotbed for white trash.
Now, please don't take this as I don't like the glorious blue seedbed with the fast food restaurant so conveniently located inside. I do. You simply get competitive prices and a ton of variety.
Unfortunately, for them, their biggest upside is also their greatest downside. It attracts the very people described above.
I used to complain that their aisles were too cramped and there were far to many people there and would just go to K-Mart instead. Now, they've put in a supercenter in my area and that no longer applies. Well...the aisles part no longer applies. There are still too many people with not enough open checkout lanes.
Every time I have gone there, I've seen no less than 3 White Trashers (WTers) in the parking lot, 4 WTers in the checkout and a plethora of WTers throughout the store.
It's like a landfill for the people who choose not to take care of themselves even though they have the means to. The really messed up part is that they pull themselves out of this by buying the correct items from Wal-Mart but as the definition said, they buy the Big Screen TV. Sigh.
I realize this has been kind of a rant, but I couldn't think of anything better to write for my first one about than the store that I love to hate.
White Trash - Slang term for white people that usually live in a trailer park. With low incomes that spend their tax returns on things like big screen TV's instead of clothes for their kids. These people tend to be mouthy and fight frequently. Generally these people are uneducated and have little concern for personal hygiene. To see these people at their best watch Jerry Springer.
What happened on Jerry Springer today? Oh, the usual. Some White trash ho beat down her white trash boo because he was getting freaky wid the white trash neighbor who is married to her father.

That is funny. Very true as well.
Ewwww... that picture at the end was too much. Wrong, just wrong. :-)
Kevin!!! Welcome to our little world of blogging!!
OMG!!! I am oh so sure I saw that same guy at Wal-Mart just this afternoon. I was however shopping for Jesus(aka Kiddie Kollege) and I was not wearing pajama bottoms so hopefully I am excluded from the "white trash". While I was there our youngest was getting a piece of gum out of the machine in the entryway and a guy was getting yelled at by his girlfriend/wife/babby momma/sister, it's really anyones guess. She was telling him to hurry up they were "fixin to" leave him. He insisted that he only needed one more minute, he was trying to win a little red pillow out of that crane machine that said "Rock On" for his baby.
There is no life like low life :)
OBTW, I realize you are a youngin', but could you use a little bigger font, us old people have trouble reading something that small. I had to pull out my secret decoder from the Lucky Charms box just to read it.
TTFN
Heather- if you were checking this blog on an iPhone like me, you could just zoom in and make the font bigger:)
And yes, I am using mine.
The post wouldn't be the same without that picture!
Heather, I'll try to remember to keep the font size large for the chronologically advanced.
