Someone who lives in the city and drives a pickup, but isn’t a contractor.Back in 1999, I switched jobs and started working in downtown Menlo Park, CA (an upscale part of the Bay Area). One day, as I walked from the office to Starbucks — across the street, maybe 100 feet — I counted on the order of 28 SUVs and pickup trucks, and thus created this phrase.
Today, I see an increasing number of Cadillac Escalade EXT — Cadillac pickups! If there was ever a pickup truck whose bed will never ever be used for hauling lumber back from Home Depot, this would be it. Über Metro Redneck: the pickup truck as a status symbol.
