When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

a raging-and-raving redneck / ruffian / bully
I. a redneck - 1. U.S. a. A member of the white rural labouring class of the southern States; one whose attitudes are considered characteristic of this class; freq., a reactionary.
От личен опит зная, че за американците тази дума е синоним на простащина, арогантност, агресивност, "селяндурщина".
II. a ruffian - 1. A man of a low and brutal character; one habitually given to acts of violence or crime; a cut-throat villain.
†2. One distinguished as a swaggering bully or dissolute person by his dress or appearance (esp. by wearing the hair long). Obs.
Изглежда много подходящо за конкретния превод.
III. bully - A ruffian hired for purposes of violence or intimidation.
Изглежда съвсем намясто.

: Village има по-друг смисъл - на английски village се употребява в по-различен смисъл. Пък и защо е този предразсъдък че най-големите побойници са от селата? Просто една такава личност в едно малко населено място е по-известна поради липсата на анонимност.

: По Explorer върви един филм за местен "герой, underground champion" от Шотландия, от Глазгоу. Той си е направо villain, но това е доста висок стил. не съм доловил да го казват thug, но ми харесва Вашето предложение! Той управлява местните, региона...
