I am almost guilty of it but I am learning. How do you get edumacation (re-education) out of your mind once it is in there? I'm not too much into calling people hicks, however. Or, not 'usually' in the bad way. A hick, for the most part, to me, is a non-specific non-militarized marine. And that isn't too bad at all, mostly. Here it is. Stolen from ArchAngel.

You live in a city. You don't know how to change a tire or oil. You don't know how to build a fire. You can't communicate without a cell phone. You can't fix your plumbing. You can't set up your own wifi. You're untrained in basic economics, chemistry, physics and history. You can't prepare food without packages, and aren't even aware that food has to be processed from root or bone before that. You only know and get paid for one very specialized task.

Yet you call me a "hick."

Becoming a hick is no small task. But I am working on it.
