A derogatory and often offensive term for a person from a rural area, especially one considered unsophisticated, uncultured, or ignorant. The term frequently implies a lack of urbanity, often associating the individual with farming or other rural occupations. It can be used to express prejudice or condescension towards those perceived as outside of mainstream societal norms. The usage of 'hick' varies, but the intent is typically disparaging, highlighting perceived deficiencies in social grace, intelligence, or awareness. The connotations can be linked to stereotypes and social biases regarding regionalism, class, and education.
