Never really new what a hilljack was until I looked it up.
Urban Dictionary: Hill Jack
Urban Dictionary: Hill Jack
I wonder how the name came about in the first place
Then you'll never be allowed to live in Mars Hill...I resemble that remark. haha but I work a full time job, live alone in a 2000+ sf home, have all of my teeth, never banged a cousin, no mullet, but that would be sweet. I have a 4x4, drive it every day. I am in no way related to my girlfriend.
I always understood Hilljack to be dumb Hillbilly. A Hillbilly might be uneducated but have an innate cleverness or life experience or other positive qualities while a Hilljack represents all that is bad about rural culture.
