AIBU?

All I seem to see lately is the word chavvy to describe names, items, clothes etc that people don't like.

So far names that aren't Arlo or Benedict, are double barreled or start with a K are chavvy.

Using Nanna is chavvy.

Wearing character clothing (children) is chavvy.

Everything is fucking chavvy. It makes me wonder what people think chavvy means? Am I the only one who has noticed this?

I'm really hoping this is tongue in cheek, Tantrums. No one can possibly think like this!

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 22/05/2013 17:09

pork I think some people actually will think this. Its not the strangest thing to be called chavvy

Pizza Express do pizzas the size of shirt buttons. I prefer Pizza Hut and I'm fucking proxy posh in one of the poshest bits of London.

Middle class food (according to MN) - sushi, humous, olives and rice cakes.

LadyBeagleEyes · 22/05/2013 17:10

Unfortunately many people on MN think like this which is why SPKliffWink started the thread.
On MN at least chavvy = common.

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 22/05/2013 17:12

But in RL I dont think most people think like that. Its a MN competitive thing.

D0oinMeCleanin · 22/05/2013 17:12

I think I'd rather be a chav than have to spend time agonising over whether my children's lunch is middle class enough, which is just as well since their names are chavvy and their clothes are chavvy their favourite treat foods are chavvy....

Tell me are dogs chavvy? Scooters? Playing out? Might as well go for a full house Grin

TantrumsAndBalloons · 22/05/2013 17:12

pork but they do.

There is a whole thread about children's clothes with characters on being chavvy.
Baby names features the word chavvy eleventy million times.
Haircuts, ear piercing, council houses, all chavvy
Dogs are chavvy

It is no surprise that KFC is chavvy as well. And cooking pie, mash and gravy rather than Filo tart, dauphinois potatoes and seasonal veg. Grin

We're having cheesy mash, sausages and beans for tea - chav much?

TantrumsAndBalloons · 22/05/2013 17:14

Yes, dogs are chavvy D0oin especially my dogs.
Scooter, I think are ok. Trampoline in the back garden-chavvy.

Packet of crisps in lunchbox-chavvy
Home made vegetable crisps and banana bread-ok

Football-chavvy

Tantrums - Some people might seeit as a negative thing I suppose. I don't see why you would,you have chosen lots of things that (by your own admission) are chavvy. You like things That some people call chavvy, therefore I can't understand why you would think of chavvy asa bad thing for you.

SilverOldie · 22/05/2013 17:16

usualsuspect - "Why are the Rooneys chavs,Silver?"

They have money but no taste.

I don't understand why it's not ok for someone to call something chavvy but it's ok for someone else to describe a person as a Hyacinth Bouquet or posh or up themselves. They are making assumptions the same as someone who uses the word chavvy are they not?

Heartbrokenmum73 · 22/05/2013 17:16

What about cats? I've got three of those? Or are they just 'evil genius'? Mwah ha ha ha ha ha!

Heartbroken We had sausage, beans & chips last night, so I raise you by one in the chavvv stakes. Am sure (oven) chips are chavvier than cheesy mash, unless mash is made from 'Smash'. Grin

Chanatan · 22/05/2013 17:17

Why have the Rooney,s got no taste?

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 22/05/2013 17:18

Chan Because they aren't up to MN standards probably. Because they name their children what they want

GoodbyePorkPie · 22/05/2013 17:18

Well now I've heard it all. I'd just like to say that my diet is perfectly balanced and contains both 'chav' and MC items. Hmm

I reckon there must be five or six MNers who go round trumpeting this shite, real people cannot be like this. At least, I have never heard this kind of absurdity ever in my life!

PMSL at 'home made vegetable crisps'!

Heartbrokenmum73 · 22/05/2013 17:18

Not 'Smash', no, but it is the supermarket stuff that you just microwave!

God, I really AM a Chav aren't I?

Goal · 22/05/2013 17:18

More to the point? What is cliffing.

crashdoll · 22/05/2013 17:19

Oi what's wrong with Smash?!

Don't know about the Rooney's choice of baby names, but Colleen's definitely got no taste in men. He looks like Shrek and prefers an 'older' woman by all accounts...
