Rednecks, hicks, hillbillies, bumpkins, folk, etc.
In Ecuador "cholitos" are similar to rednecks. I've heard grasa and maybe mersa used in Argentina.

How long in Argentina Justin?
How long have you been living in Argentina?
You got your Spanish in Argentina or you knew some Spanish before coming? |

Me?
I have been in Argentina for about six months. I lived in Ecuador before and studied Spanish in Cuba. I learned a lot in Ecuador, but I still learn new words, expressions, etc. every day. |

"mersa" is actually a very old fashioned word!! I think my parents used it...
