"Chavs"

84joe [Edit] [Delete] 23:44, 30 January '07

Can everyone try not to use this word anymore? I'm not saying please, I'm just going to beat you with my pitbull's studded collar if you don't comply.

It's really smug and a horrid generalisation. I can only assume that most of the time it's an assumption about someone's behaviour based on what they look like too.

It makes me upset, probably because if the term was around when I was 14-ish I'd probably have been branded one too. I really didn't do a lot of bad stuff compared to other kids but nobody would have stopped to ask if this was the case.

There are horrid wankers everywhere but they're all horrid wankers for their own special reasons.
