What is another word for country folk?
Pronunciation: [kˈʌntɹi fˈə͡ʊk] (IPA) 
There are a plethora of charming colloquialisms to describe rural residents. Instead of using the term "country folk," try "hicks," "bumpkins," "yokels," "hillbillies," or "rednecks." Additionally, terms such as "rustics," "peasants," "farmers," and "rural dwellers" can also be used. While some of these terms may carry connotations of unsophistication or lack of education, others are simply a tongue-in-cheek way of referring to those who live a simpler, idyllic lifestyle outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. Whatever word you choose, be sure to use it affectionately and with a healthy dose of humor.
