1: A boy or a girl who is hard working, determined, has a love for hunting, fishing, rodeo/riding/ranch work. To be country means to not be scared of the outdoors and strenuous work, and they typically work blue collar jobs such as welders, graders, landscapers, etc. If a guy rides bulls or broncs, depending on his personality he would be classified more as a cowboy. Same goes for barrel racers or ropers for girls, they’re usually called cowgirls. They either grew up on land or have land somewhere close to ride/hunt/fish/camp on. Being country is less about what you wear but more about what’s inside, and music taste can be a key definer. If someone listens to kane brown, FGL, or dan & shay, you are NOT country. Your big heart and punchiness and manners is also a key to being country.

  * e.g.,  ... “Is she a country girl?”
