Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following foods are you NOT likely to find on a hillbilly's table?

Answer: Escargot and Truffles

Most hill folk like their taters(potatoes) fried with onions, their cornbread baked in an iron skillet, and their greens cooked with side meat or fatback. Leather britches are green beans that are strung onto a thread and hung out to dry, then cooked by boiling them with meat.
2. What do hillbillies call the evening meal?

Answer: Supper

Where this hillbilly comes from, 'dinner' is called 'supper' and 'lunch' is called 'dinner.'
3. What is a hillbilly's favorite vegetable drink?

Answer: Corn mash

Corn mash is a hillbilly word for homemade whiskey. Other words for whiskey include: moonshine, white lightnin', corn liquor, and mule.
4. What representative of the U.S. government was most likely to be fired upon by a hillbilly in olden times?

Answer: Revenuers

'Revenuers' are what hillbillies of the past called any representative from the IRS. I assume they were looking to avoid paying taxes on their homemade moonshine.
5. Where around a hillbilly's home are you most likely to find reading material?

Answer: The Outhouse

Hillbillies were hard-working folk and rarely had a chance to sit down to read. When they did, it was when they HAD to sit, on the outdoor wooden throne (and the reading material was not just for reading.)
6. What kind of reading material could one expect to find in a hillbilly's residence?

Answer: The Sears and Roebuck Catalog

The Sears and Roebuck catalog is a hillbilly's way of saying TOILET PAPER. It was also sometimes called the 'Wish Book.'
7. What does a hillbilly call a 'bar'?

Answer: A big, black, furry animal

A 'bar' is a bear to a hillbilly. An example is when Davy Crockett said, 'I kilt me a bar, when I 'us only 3.' As with most other things, hillbillies are frugal with their words too.
8. What does a hillbilly mean when he says 'a fur piece'?

Answer: A long distance

'A fur piece,' in hillbilly language, means a far distance away. Example: 'I reckon it's a fur piece from here to Knoxville.'
9. What do hillbillies do with their dirty laundry?

Answer: Warsh it

Hillbillies don't {wash;} they warsh. Warshing gets clothes cleaner than just washing. Other examples of the use of the word 'warsh' include: warshrag, warshtub, warshin' machine, and Warshin'ton DC.
10. What do hillbillies do instead of using mouth wash?

Answer: Chew birch bark

Believe it or not, birch bark has a cool, minty flavor that freshens your breath. My own grandmother showed me how to take a small twig of birch and fray the end into a brush to brush my teeth. WARNING: Please do not soak your dentures in Lysol. (Ramps are an onion-like plant that usually inspires a festival when it comes into season.)
