Landpomeranze

"Pomeranze" is German for bitter orange, a citrus fruit. And life can certainly be bitter for a "Landpomeranze" - a country gal or hillbilly - when she visits the big city. There she is, decked out in her very finest, only to find that she is immediately recognizable by the clothes she is wearing. She (and yes, "Landpomeranze" usually refers to women) might think it's the height of fashion, but she is light years away, a far cry from Carrie and her friends in "Sex and the City." Add to that her accent and her lack of city ways: "Landpomeranze" is not an endearing term for the fair sex.
