country boy
Farm-raised young man
A country boy is a man or boy from a rural area, carrying connotations of simplicity, practicality, and down-to-earth values.
The term often implies someone familiar with farming, hunting, or outdoor work: He's just a country boy at heart.
It can be self-identifying and proud or mildly dismissive depending on context.
Country boys are stereotypically contrasted with city-dwellers—less sophisticated but more genuine.
