Country Dumb


a person, usually from a rural area, the south or small town; who deliberately speaks or behaves in a manner that indicates a lack of understanding of the modern world, and uses this false impression to take advantage of urban or cosmopolitan people by asking for favors, borrowing money, cars, or even moving in (rent free of course).
“oh this insurance stuff is all so complicated! can you help me with it, by borrowing me the five hundred dollar down payment, so’s i can get my teeth fixed”
