National variations on the Chav/Scallie/Townie

#

Started by mr self destruct in Chit-Chat

In light of JSar666’s revelation that Norway remains free of the breed of badly dressed, loutish scum we in Britain know and hate as chavs/scallies/townies/Kappa Slappas, I’m curious to find out whether any other countries are unfortunate enough to have them?

A rough guide to chavs can be found here:

Apparently the French do.

Norway does have its fair share of scum, but they’re not chavs or neds. The gang element is fairly visible in Oslo, but they don’t tend to wear Kappa, burberry caps of sovies. Poor people don’t dress very well, but again, no-one has thus far had the urge to run out and wear a tracksuit with white trainers all the time.

I do despair now that I’ve seen Fred Perry clothing in highstreet shops though :(

In Scotland they are reffered to as Neds (Non-educated Delinquents). Wear kappa-suits with their socks around the bottoms of their trousers, baseball-caps and usually a lot of gold. Cannot speak, drink foul wine or cider and like to stab people. Mostly found on or under park-benches or in town throwing rocks at passing buses or fighting.

Lovely bunch really.

Holy crap, people dress like this in real life? I thought it was just celebrity idiots!

I havn’t seen anyone around here (er… Wisconsin) looking quite so… knobbish? Then again, I havn’t been looking for that.

Christ, and I thought the wiggers were bad. When will people stop trying to assume a false identity to “fit in”? Never happen, I suppose.

In Germany they are called “Ruhrpottler” or the worst and most ugly ones are called “Essener” (Wombles of course not included):D

Ey Alter, watch what you’re saying. The standard Ruhrpottasi wears his track suit day and night but usually doesn’t choose any fashionable brands. He sticks to Alex sportswear and Victory sneakers.
The Kappa boys are normally of Turkish origin.

You know how it’s said that a homophobic is actually struggling to repress and deny the fact they might be gay? I’m seeing a similar thing here… ;)

Unfortunately my home town (Buxton) is packed with them. I’m getting constantly thretaned and pushed around by them, people say do something back… how do you do something back when there is one of you and 18 of them? They are becoming a problem much like pigeons! So maybe we should put something in their food to stop them being able to have babies?

I’m growing my hair long at the moment. I don’t think it’ll look too good, but putting gel in and spiking my hair is way too much hassle.

Black fingernails… I did paint my fingernails black for a wee while, but I kept chipping it and it looked… well, gay. I’m not Brian Molko (thank fuck!).

Anyway, I’ve yet to see any pics of you apart from that one with you and Clive Barker when you were 9, but let’s look at the facts

1. You spend your days playing computer games
2. You’re not adverse to a drink or other indulgences
3. You’re from Glasgow
4. You support Celtic

Fess up! You’re a ned :)

What about the accent? I was once asked the good ol’ “Nah! Give us 20p for the bus yeah mate?” in Coventry. The accent didn’t seem right so I aksed the kid where he was from and he said Coventry. This led me to wonder what the fuck then, was he was doing with the fake “Liam Gallagher’s Manchester” accent.

Has this terrible nasal based annoyance spread anywhere else?

A “knacker” is a traveller/gypsy - but they’re a right shower of dangerous bastards too. Well, a lot of them anyway.

The townies are just one (small) step above the travellers in society. But in actuality, townies are probably worse - pure filth.

Hah hah, just as I type this, “The Steets” are playing on the radio - now he’s a right chav/townie! :)

See? In Germany a “Knacker” is something different. We tend to add an “old”. “Knacker” drive mint green Mercedes Benz wearing a hat while driving and looking at you very angry when you stand next to them with your car, that’s vibrating with loud Therapy? tunes. Thank God, that kind is dying slowly but surely, as one of them really told me, something (right, not someone. Something) like me wouldn’t have had the right to live during the 3rd Reich. :eek: :rolleyes:

There you have it: the Führer didn’t know how to rock. So titles like Third Reich’n’Roll (The Residents) are bullshit.

I might have some sympathy for that old Knackwurst (that’s where Knacker comes from: an old sausage that bursts open when it’s overheated) if he deliberately said that ‘coz he knew you. For you can be so mean…

That was exactly what he said. but… I can be mean? I CAN be mean, but you’ve never experienced that. All in all I’m a very nice person with a slight edge to sick humour. *g*

Theres less chance of being stabbed by ‘townies’ though.
