* What did the redneck ask his girlfriend after they broke up? "Can we still be cousins?"

** ''Literature/TheDunwichHorror'': The story is set in the remote backwoods of Massachusetts, and much is made of the rural nature and the low intellect of the residents. It is heavily implied that Old Man Whateley served as a vessel for EldritchAbomination Yog-Sothoth to impregnate his daughter, Lavinia. This resulted in the birth of two children.

Added DiffLines:

* ConversationalTroping in ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'', when Death looks at three moments in Gytha Ogg's life, and the raven questions how she went from "Miss Ogg" to "Mrs Ogg", saying "That sounds a bit rural, if you get my meaning". (It's actually because witches are matrilinear.)

If we get a second example like that, then maybe it could warrant mention in the main description. For now we only have one single instance, so describing it under its own listing is sufficient.


While the two are framed very differently, there is still some surprising parallelism to its {{Opposite Trope|s}}, RoyalInbreeding. Incest is associated with the extreme upper and lower classes, and almost never with the middle class. This trope can even ''overlap'' with RoyalInbreeding, or at least Noble Inbreeding, in the case of ImpoverishedPatrician families who even in destitution remain too proud to marry outside aristocracy.

* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' combines this with RoyalInbreeding in the case of the decrepit Gaunt family, an [[BlueBlood ancient lineage of pureblooded wizards]] who have [[ImpoverishedPatrician descended into squalor over the centuries]] but who stubbornly refuse to marry non-purebloods. This appears to have negatively impacted their physical appearance (note the father's apelike physique and his children's FishEyes) and mental health.
