wooly booger
n.— «Only a couple of weeks ago, on a visit home, I saw what at first looked like a redneck—he had him a tall wooly booger of a high-rider pickup and that job had more spotlights on it than the entire Plant City police force owns and he was tooling along spitting and scratching with this dawg on a chain back in the truck bed.» —“Pinknecks are confusing great redneck debate” by John Keasler Atlanta Journal (Georgia) Nov. 11, 1986.
