Chav & Ned Culture, with Janey Godley

[gnowave]

ye, and even here the presenters are pressuming ned means working class. but it dosnt. it has ALWAYS since the early 80s at least been used to describe a PARTICULAR type of arsehole.

and that poor girl thinks a ned wears designer clothes? what? she thinks basebaal caps and cheap track siuts are designer? ha ha ha.

neds tend to be weedy dumb, sly, arrogant, rascist, classist, violent, theiving, druggy, buckfast drinking idiots.

[gnowave]

jane seems a bit confused about chav or ned meanijng girls from poor backgrounds ( jordan) being chavs (which, dont get me wrong, she is) but chavs, or more in particualr, neds, i scottish culture, DONT even bother to dress "abive their station". she missed the point.

[seanybo777]

by the way they dont say skanger in ireland they say smick

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

My problem with neds is not a pet peeve it's a major psychotic fucking hatred.

[mjfoote]

[sparky269]

@billdebeast Of course it is, why did the reporters not realise?!!

[JohnoJayMac]

"no one knows the origin of the word chav..."

Buusheet... Council Housed And Violent.

C.H.A.V.....

NED... Non Educated Delinquent.

gees.

[StevieWasp]

@JohnoJayMac Non Educated Delinquent doesn't exist as a phrase. The correct grammar is uneducated delinquent. I prefer to think that Ned comes from ne'er do well (never do well).

[klmattydub]

yeh n that acronym for chav is bollocks too - it came from the geordie word charver - meaning scally or scumbag - the media gave it that whole burberry, jade goodie bullshit spin - chav is a word they want you to use to make light of the fact that the fucking country is going down the pan - theres nothing wrong with being a chav - but there's everything wrong with calling someone a chav -it gives that cartoon joke image to something that isnt really that funny - i bet a polititian made it up

[BuchuBuchuMan]

In Toronto we call them ginos

[PsychedelicVideos]

@BuchuBuchuMan Chavs are completely different from ginos. these people aren't whops.

[mangapunker]

is it any coincidence that neds/chavs dress have a similiar dress sense to the stereotypical junkie?

[Rachael2o1o]

A Think Chavs Aree Sound Tbh ... Just Coz Wee Aint All stuck Up And Snobey Dont mean we shoud be treatedthe way we aree gettin treated ..x

[nounever]

chav culture is everyhwere and destroying this country

[Fuchizaa]

Destroying all countries...

[Cybopath]

'Says the The Left Wing Fabian Society', like I care what those screaming leftys thinkl. Chav isn't class hatred, believe me I'm from a working class area. Chavs are ignorant thugs over indulged by societies good will.

[ohmichael203]

Others can't label you a chav, you have to volunteer to be one.

[MrBeefmuncher]

Chav is perfect word for them!

[SASclanPS3]

NED= Non-Educated-Delingcuint

[raithrover1976]
