We have one that my dad fills up with all his ducks and venison that he'll never eat.

When I hear deep freeze, I think of something being frozen down deep inside, which would make a deep freezer something that flash freezes stuff. Like the opposite of a microwave. Not a box you put stuff in to keep cold.

I always figured that people called them that because they were a deep chest instead of an upright.

I think I should have said arborist.
I'm pretty sure it was called a deep freezer because they were usually set lower than the freezer in the frig, for long term storage. Like to zero or below. (Seems like they were only offered as a chest freezer at first.) Whereas the freezer in the frig was set to maybe 10-20 degs for shorter term freezing & ice cubes.
This is particularly true back in the day where you only had one control in the frig and no way to adjust more air flow to the freezer portion. And there was nowhere near the number of convenience items (packaged crap) for the frig freezer in the kitchen as today.
For example, my 50's Kelvinator* out in the garage has only one thermostat and the freezer box inside at the top of the refrig (only one door). So I use the freezer box for my larger meat purchases - set the thermostat a bit colder - which means it holds some cold **** beer!
Remember, we started with "ice boxes". Literally.
* yep, still running! 2nd one in my family that just don't quit. Can you say Kelvinator, Nash, Jeep, AMC...

i dont know if i`m prowd to be known as a redneck anymore .. the definition seems to have changed a bit ..
In modern usage, redneck predominantly refers to a particular stereotype of whites from the Southern United States. The word can be used either as a pejorative or as a matter of pride, depending on context.
The redneck stereotype:
The term redneck is seen by some people to be both racist and classist, as it is was originally used to describe a person of pale skin that has been sunburned doing outdoor work or field work, and disproportionately applies to the poor. Today, a redneck is a stereotypical southern United States socially conservative, fiscally liberal, rural, working class white person with northern European ancestry.
The popular etymology says that the term derives from such individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the sunlight over the course of their lifetime. The effect of decades of direct sunlight on the exposed skin of the back of the neck not only reddens fair skin, but renders it leathery and tough, and typically very wrinkled by late middle age. Another popular theory stems from the use of red bandanas tied around the neck to signify union affiliation during the violent clashes between United Mine Workers and owners between 1910 and 1920.
Some historians claim that the term redneck originated in 17th century Virginia, when indentured servants were sunburnt while tending plantation crops.
A redneck is usually typified in popular culture by a straight male with a beer belly that consumes cheap American beer such as Busch or Miller by the case (Pabst Blue Ribbon in more traditional settings) as well as Jack Daniel's. They are generally distrustful or dislike anyone not like them or the government. The stereotypical redneck lives in a trailer, and drives an old, large, beat-up pickup truck with a gun rack in the rear window. He generally wears a stained, sleeveless t-shirt, blue jeans, and a trucker hat.
Their hair is generally worn in the mullet style, and they favor long sideburns. Personal hygiene is a lost concept with the stereotypical redneck, and what teeth they have left generally show the complete anthology of the stages of dental caries. Their favorite activities include hunting, shooting at road signs and lights, professional wrestling, NASCAR, monster truck rallies, car engine repair, collecting junked cars and large appliances on their lawns, having way too many children and dogs, participating in domestic disturbances, and waiting around for their welfare checks. Country and Southern Rock bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd figure in as their preferred genre of music.
Stereotypical redneck females have similar characteristics and interests on a feminine scale. They are most often seen barefoot, pregnant and wear Daisy Duke shorts with stiletto heels.

Sadly, that is how many people outside the South think we all are. In all honesty, I've seen just as many if not more people that fit that cliche up north than down here these days. Especially in parts of Oh., In. and Mi.
I blame Hollywood, the government, and liberals for that. Don't trust any of them.
