"Hick" is definitely an insult. It's used to describe unsophisticated,
narrow-minded people.
The word is derived from "Hick", a shortened form of "Richard".
...I don't know how they got "Hick" from "Richard".
Another modern-day shortened form of "Richard" is "Dick". Democrats
called President Richard Milhous Nixon "Tricky Dick", for example.
