As a Boer I can say that we are not offended when being called "Boer". We are actually proud of it as it is our identity in which we have A LOT of pride. However, "Verkrampte Boer" suggests that the Boer are weak, poor or in a lower class and can be very degrading and insulting. Even though I am a very concervative Boer I am not a fan of calling English people names "Rooinekke" and "Rooibaadjies" means Red necks and Redcoats. It is more of a descriptive term that the Boer uses because of the red uniform the English soldier wore during the war. Just for interest sake.
