Product Description
Clearly one redneck dictionary was not enough. And it’s no wonder. The South is positively bursting at the seams with colorful words and turns of phrases in this distinct dialect. Now men and women from all across this great land can further fine-tune their fluency and showcase their confidence when speaking to folks who hail from below the Mason-Dixon line. Need a crash course in this truly inspired lingo? Well, Jeff Foxworthy’s Redneck Dictionary II puts the “vern” in “vernacular,” offering up a veritable gumbo of must-be-known selections:
infamy (in’fe-me) adv. and n. another person’s intent to exact physical punishment. “Ever since I stole his girlfriend, Bobby’s had it infamy.”
assassin (e-sas’-en) v. to disrespect verbally. “Don’t just stand there assassin me, boy–go clean your room!”
honor student (aen’-er stu’-dent) prep. and n. to be positioned over, and supported by, a pupil. “Yeah, I knew piano lessons after midnight was weird, but I still didn’t suspect nothin’ till I caught her honor student.”
So open your ears and activate your funny bone with this hilarious, practical, and playfully illustrated reference. It’s like having your very own personal dialect coach–one who doesn’t mind getting picked up and read and laughed at and passed along to friends.

Look it up. October 15, 2008
I can remember my school days when if someone asked "how do you spell that?";the teacher would say,"Look it up in the Dictionary." I always had a problem with that.How the heck do you look up a word when you don't know how to spell it in the first place?
If you are like me and enjoy Foxworthy;you'll get a real hoot out of this book.What really amazes me ,is that this gift of language of Jeffs,can actually be committed to print.Although the book is really good,and allows the reader to mull this "talk" over at ease;I still prefer the richness at the the actual live talk. When you listen to this priceless Redneck talk;these words go zinging past like stray bullets at the shooting reage.
I took notice of Brandon Simpson's review posted on July 29,2007 where this obviously sage student of language calls this sort of thing "morphophonemic alterations" .It seems Jeff overlooked this word in his Dictionary----anyone knows it's Redneck for "Mor fur dem hicks, and al' der relatshuns".
Everyone knows that English is a living language and changes with common use;and it don' git more common'r than dis!!
Jeff Foxworthy's dictionaries never get old... May 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I actually purchased this for my husband. But I'll admit, I just had to see what was so funny. This dictionary is hilarious! No wonder he was laughing out loud in the doctor's office. You know, you are never too old for just some good ole, down to earth redneck ribbing. It has been a long time since I have laughed this hard. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to just let loose and laugh harder than you have ever laughed before. Everybody deserves to just chill out once and a while, have some good ole fun, and laugh!!! Go for it...buy his book. And laugh yourself silly.
 Funny, But Not Worth The Price October 16, 2007
This was a funny book. It certainly isn't worth the price. You can read it in an hour.
Morphophonemic Alterations July 29, 2007
For us rednecks this word is way too big. But I can't think of what else to call it. Jeff Foxworthy's three Redneck Dictionaries are full of "morphophonemic alterations."
On the other hand, we don't need to actually know the techincal definition to enjoy them.

Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary January 29, 2007
My 90+ year old mother loves to read and try to figure word meanings. It is a fun book.
