Redneck Critters?
I've been considering the term 'redneck', which is described by Google's info engine as coming "from the back of the neck being sunburned from outdoor work." As I've grown more involved with the Redwall community, I've started considering what an equivalent term may be for furred creatures in the size range between a mouse and a badger. As they have fur, the noticeability of a sunburn on the neck would be significantly decreased. Are there any other known, plainly visible effects of prolonged labor under direct sunlight in furred creatures? And, what term might be derived from these effects to describe such creatures?
