Good ol's girls?

What is the female equivalent of a “Good ol’ boy”? Good ol’ girl? Red-neck woman? Would a woman who drives a dirty jeep with the top down, while smoking a cigarette, which she tucks into the windshield, count? Would the country singer Gretchen Wilson qualify as a “Good ol’ girl”? Would a Good ol’ boy's wife who likes to go hunting and fishing with him qualify? Are smokin’, drinkin’, and cussin’ requirements for the title?

Eh I consider a girl who is not easily offended by the sights and sounds of things usually masculine as a good ol girl. Someone who you can take to a football game and enjoy it, someone who you can have an honest conversation with about life no matter how vulgar the subject, someone who can keep up with you on a hike, someone who likes to camp, etc.

Although a girl who can drink and drives a jeep is way cool.

Now that you have me looking, I have seen a good ol' girl driving a jeep with the top down three times, all within 10 miles of Renton. Keep looking, wiwille. Three different jeeps, BTW.

Those women flaggers working at the road construction sites look like good ol' girls, too. But doesn't a person have to be warm and friendly to quality for the "good ol'" descriptor?

What!

Don't you know a good ole' girl is someone who can bait a hook, go skinny dippin' and is not afraid to go barefoot or sing loudly in the shower?

However, this title also requires the knowledge of how/when to use proper language/attitude, dress with style and femininity, as well as sip tea with one pinky up.

Its the right combination of fun and fancy that makes a good ole' gal.

I believe that missing a few or all of these elements qualifies one to be "white trashy"
