Billy Bob is a name stereotypically used to refer to someone to imply that they are rural, ignorant and/or unsophisticated. Billy Bob (short for William Robert) at one time was a common set of first names for Americans that lived in country areas.

I see, so its usage was as openly bigoted and contemptuous as I had suspected.
