Yeah, I jumped the gun- missed the detail on the lower front bumper, and mistook the black stripe of the 930 for the lower molding on some models of the 964.
Identify the following:
- Panzer tank
- Sandwich
- Suffolk County, NJ
- Two dolphins mating

I'm not familiar with the term, but I've heard it out here before... and I've always figured it meant the black people that sit on their porches in alabama and fling poop or something.
I also recently found out... the hard way... that redneck is actually a derogatory term.
And I know you said Porsche.

Redneck is a term of endearment when it is self-referential, or communicated within a closed group consisting of rednecks. (See Foxworthy, Jeff; Guy, Larry the Cable; et al.)
"Redneck", in this context, is not typically used as a personal pronoun in the singular second person, as is common with "nіgger." One would not say "Dale, my redneck friend" or "What's up, redneck?" directly to an individual, even if both parties to the conversation would otherwise tend to self-identify as rednecks. Rather, the term tends to be applied to the group of all rednecks as a whole, as in "Welcome to Redneck Heaven", which one might say to a peer who has arrived at a tailgate party outside Campbell Stadium on the campus of the Florida State University.
As with "nіgger," however, "redneck" becomes a pejorative when it is uttered by a non-redneck, without regard to context. For instance, a Yankee who is visiting the campus of Florida State for the first time might say (either to himself or to a companion) "What a bunch of rednecks." If they wished to insult a single redneck in particular, they might say "Dale, you redneck." (Presupposing that the person being insulted is named Dale.) In this context, "redneck" becomes functionally similar to "hick" or "cracker," which are almost never used as terms of endearment in any context.

Sadly I admit I didn't know the monkey slang until I was military and then in my ignorance asked a group of black friends of mine what it meant. All I could figure was it was southern from the context I heard it used and judging from the dialect of the individual yelling it. Like people from up north say pop for soda. I just got laughed at by a table of big black guys (not being mean, I'm not big and they were) half for my ignorance of the phrase and half cause I just blurted out "What the F%$# does porch ------ mean?!?"
