British OTers: Let's discuss Chavs.

[Monkeyfinger]

Are they basically you're version of wiggers, or gangsters, or what? The impression I get is that they wear striped hats, talk like gutter trash, move around in packs and are actually violent unlike most wannabe "gangsters" here in the states.

I can't read anything in this thread.

 

[Japanrocks12]

Chavs should probably be eliminated mk

 

[azzaman333]

They sound very similar to bogans.

 

[Enkidu Warrior]

Half of the whole chav meme is understandable distaste about the direction of youth culture, and half of it is just an excuse for the middle classes, including so-called liberals and social democrats, to look down on the poor. Seriously, some of the stuff on that "hilarious" board game looks like it came straight from Tory central office, but it's repeated without irony by several middle class liberals on this forum. Hypocrites. Go and join the Tory scum if you want to persecute the underprivileged.

Somehow it has become an excuse for a form of snobbery that puts the Victorians to shame. All the sneeringly derisive bile for the lower orders without the noblesse oblige.

No we have chavs too. Haven't you seen them?

Bogan + dole bludger = chavs?

 

[Bast]

Bogan + dole bludger = chavs?

Not necessarily. Chavs wear sportswear and tracksuits and hang out in groups, I think. Bogans and dole bludgers don't necessarily do that.

 

[Newbunkle]

Chavs hang around in tracksuits or hoodies, using foul language, littering, drinking, smoking, intimidating people, and generally being anti-social. They're the types who think its funny to throw fireworks at people's houses. They like to sit around on your wall, or treat other people's private property like they own it, and are rude and abusive if you ask them to move on. Some people confuse being a chav with being poor, when in actual fact most poor people are very nice, and the obnoxious kids of other families can be chavs too.

Nuffink to discuss, innit?

Chavs are worse than I thought...


Surely culling say 80% of chavs would result in a significant rise in average intellegence?

We call them jumpers here, becuase they listen to a music style that's called jump; basically THE SAME LAME BEAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN and with excellent lyrics such as: . .. .. .. . MOTHER. .. .. .. .ER . .. .. .. ., . .. .. .. . ME ON TEH FLOOR, CAUSE I'M HORNY AS A WHORE. (actual lyrics)
and they dress utter silly and unlike Ipod users with their ears in , they take their cellphones and try to be as loud as possible, utter stupid puberism, and it's to be found in all classes, from sergio tanechi for the lower and middle class ******, to scapa and ralph lauren and lacoste for the more wealthy . .. .. .. .tards.

Why are Tories scum? I haven't actually seen a Tory policy that says 'persecute the poor'.
I also have yet to meet someone who looks down on 'chavs' solely for the fun of it.

You're both seeing things that aren't there. It's not a happy excuse to sneer at the 'lower classes'. Chavs receive derisive bile because they are violent, unpleasant, anti-social and deserve it.

 

[Wolfe Tone]

We call them spides here. Another idenfying feature is their cars. Usually, small cars with lots of body modifications and a massive subwoofer that pumps out obnoxious drum beats.

When I driving, it's quite difficult to resist the urge to mount the curb and take out a group of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpstyle
Kenmerkende kledingmerken voor fans van het jump-genre zijn Sergio Tacchini (vooral vesten) en Lacoste (vooral petjes), De Puta Madre 69 en Nike Air Max.

translated: peculiar for these kinds of retards are the Sergio Tacchini vests (who look like jogging suits) , lacoste (hats), De Puta Madre 69 and Nike Air Max.



This is an international crisis worse then global warming or iraq or the hunger in Africa. It's an virus spreading from Belgium as jump and from the UK as chav. (They look the same but spawned from a different hellgate(origin) ).

It will take over Europe, the US and whole the world will be darkened by the virus.

It is scientifically proven that 98% of the jumpers is a crack dealer, 99% has AIDS and 100% cannot point their country on the map.

The only cure is either cyanide or the beatles. (preferably a combo)

 

[Arwon]

I think people have problems defining chavs because it's a bit of a self-fulfilling definition. Bad things = chav, good things = not chav. It's like the inverse of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

you do not know the horror, come here to the source and i will show them to you, even show you their concentration camps (or as they call it: mega-dancing)

 

[Newbunkle]
