Chavvy behaviour

A list of relatively normal (and often fairly expensive) things which you turn your nose up at as being chavvy:

1. All inclusive holidays 

2. Holidaying in Dubai

3. Louis Vuitton 

"When someone admires something you are wearing, immediately telling them whence it came and how much it cost"

I only do this is in a "i love your spenny jacket"

"I got it in a charity shop it cost THREE POUNDS" kind of way 

About every SW London upper middle class twunt I know has been on a glamping holiday in the last year. Ludicrous example.

Ditto tats and piercings. Been out recently? We’re not in 1978. Most hipster twunts are covered in tats and most hipsters are resolutely middle class. 

Lol at skiing in Switzerland over Xmas though. So true. 

Can I add giving your kids iphone 10s when they’re 8 years old..

 

Oddly Teclis is talking the most sense on this thread.

Big hoop earrings appear to be popular with the upper middle art college students at the moment so I’m not sure that’s a good marker.

Cringe at those who say chain restaurants are chav! So you find yourselves above having a meal at say Pizza Express? 

Can you see how this is more chav than your initial post Clergs? Also, you go on about those bloody burger chain enuf heh

I fear we are blurring the lines between chavvy and gauche. 

 

Some of you are taking this far too seriously.  Especially those of you who eat Pot Noodle and Findus Crispy Pancakes whilst holding your fork improperly and wearing tracky dakkies and a string vest.

interestingly the Spanish only started to lisp the z because one of their kings was a Hapsburg with a facial deformity that made him lisp so all the courtiers adopted the lisp so as not to upset him.

Lol @ glamping being the controversial one.

To bring this thread to dubtun: some people are talking about chav behaviour and stuff (Badman), some (Fonders, me) actually more about nouveaux riches.

Glamping is all sorts of wrong.

It's a lisped "z" like a "ch". 

 

Dux, it's "bru-shetta".  the only people who refuse to use these pronunciations are generally supporters of Nigel Far... oh.

I say

broo-shet-ta

and 

chor-ee-so

I wouldn't even attempt to pronounce the way the Spanish etc do

like 'New-carstle' rather than 'New-cassel' as I am not a northerner

I was on the phone to a Bazza's clerk and discussing instructions from Debevoise.  I resolutely pronounced it correctly whereas throughout our conversation he was pronouncing it in a pseudo French way.

*shrugs*

I lived and worked in Spain for eight years Dux, but I don't really care how Brits pronounce it, just answering the question.

In turn, Spaniards routinely brutalise the pronunciation of English words that come into their culture, so whatevs.

Queenie, nothing wrong with how you're saying it, it would be standard in Andalusia, the Canaries and nearly all of Latin America (it's called seseo). 

What vertigo said @ 20.20. The Unis have finished for the easter break, and the pubs are full of students everyday . Interestingly, the girls are wearing hugee hoop earrings, scraped back hair, baggy jeans, which are 8 inches shorter than they should be, loads of make up, smoking rollies, and openly talk about MDMA, and who has fvcked who. They make a huge effort to dress like chavs from a council estate up north, whilst talking about trips to their ski chalet in the winter, and Daddy reducing their monthly allowance to £600 PCM, from £1200 PCM whilst they are back at home for the holidays.

Guys also , wearing all in one garish trackies from Armani Exchange, over sized nike air trainers, big diamond earrings, chains over their track suit tops. And then talking about their sibling who is in their last year at Cheltenham, or Charterhouse, ( I kid you not)

Wang I think it's a distinct bacterial infection in its own right. Sadly I am too useless to be able to post a link but there's some nice pics on Google.

One of Young Gwenners's friends at prep school had a bout of impetigo. Family was neither poor nor chavvy.

Agree holidaying in Marbella with expensive massive plastic t•ts, expensive swollen mouth, expensive bit of fabric and expensive fake tan sending that back to UK in a selfie about as chav as it gets imo. 

Big hoop earrings as big as their face.

Any clothes or bags with the logo repeated on it more than once.

Talking/ yelling/ getting drunk at the theatre - they should be removed immediately.

Weatherspoons unlss it's just after a muddy hikes as the pub least likely to object to muddy trainers/ wet waterproofs everywhere - the Godalming one is good for this.

Asking someone you've not met to follow you on Insta/ TikTok/ Snap/ Twitter.

Gender reveal parties - Stop Them Now.

Putting baby announcements on social media with womb photos - as above.

These massive chav/posh based threads crack me up - the oxygen British folk are willing to give to their shit class system and making sure it evolves with the times.

If all inlcusives in nice adults only resorts in the carribean are chavvy then break out my burberry budgie smugglers.

Went on my first one ever last year and they are great.

Buying new furniture.

I can't believe the amount of crap furniture I see discarded on the nature strip around the suburbs.  Often still perfectly fine.

If it hasn't fallen apart, don't chuck it.  We don't need any more massive bulky landfill.

And if it has fallen apart, maybe next time don't buy cheap shit from China that looks crap after two years?

 

 

(Yeah I'll make a grudging exception for people who are upgrading because their kids are finally at an age where they can buy nice things again.  But better still, train your fooking oikish sprogs not to destroy the household).

I don’t think there is anything I turn my nose up because it is “chavvy”. I don’t generally judge what other people do.

Dubai looks like an absolutely mint place for a holiday. And to live.

I fvcking love buying new furniture. Often bespoke made. I have some old furniture, but I don’t have the kind of family from whom one inherits furniture, and nor does my wife. And I’m not into buying secondhand furniture and pretending it’s “antique” for a pose.

Point of correction though. The British class system is an excellent thing and we are rightly devoted to it, NB though it isn’t really a “system”, more a taxonomy.

I'd fvcking love a scruffy ute.  Unfortunately I need the flexibility to occasionally carry passengers that only comes with a scruffy 23-year-old station wagon.  Only two years until I can put it on historic plates and save a motza every year on rego.
