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 don't think the Scottish and Welsh have as much class anxiety as the English. I think the more Northern you go the less people are bothered by it.

Now I LOVE those black sparkly tiles but admittedly I would not have them in my kitchen.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 22/05/2013 18:11

I didn't think about class or anything til MN. Then again its opened my eyes to a lot of things

I didn't either SP. MN has opened my eyes to lots of things I didn't know about. Some good some bad!

ExitPursuedByABear · 22/05/2013 18:13

I never realised I was chavvy for having my own number plate.

I do like the mention of stone lions on a council house gate posts.

Must order some

TantrumsAndBalloons · 22/05/2013 18:13

Is blonde chavvy as well?

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 22/05/2013 18:14

My dad had stone lions. Some basterds nicked them. Good knows how as they were really heavy

What the fuck are mice and dumps?

PaperSeagull · 22/05/2013 18:15

OwlLady, I agree with you, especially re: the Welsh and Scottish being less concerned about class than the English.

Littleolive, but why did you call tiles "chavvy"? Did you think that other people might look down on your mother because of them?

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 22/05/2013 18:21

Aren't mice animals?

Blonde is not chavvy.

I saw some stone lions on a gated 3 bed semi this aft. I admit I did think it looked rather crazy.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 22/05/2013 18:23

Mice are small rodents as far as I know. Actually I would say that they are neutral. Not chav imo.

Ezza1 · 22/05/2013 18:25

Mice aren't edible though, surely?

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 22/05/2013 18:27

Sugar mice are damn tasty, not chavvy Grin

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 22/05/2013 18:28

Property They have no purpose at all. My dad thought his were great because he was given them. He wouldn't have paid for them. Oh no Grin

I dont know ezza I haven't seen Mice mentioned

OP posts:
propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 22/05/2013 18:35

Someone upthread mentioned that mice were chav I think Confused

Stone lions would look crazy anywhere to be fair Grin. Sometimes I think I could fancy a hot tub but then I remind myself that they are widely viewed as sex ponds Grin

ExitPursuedByABear · 22/05/2013 18:38

That was me as someone mentioned eating mice and dumps.

We had stone pyramid shapes in top of pillars and the were knicked

themaltesecat · 22/05/2013 18:40

Agree wholeheartedly with this thread.

Ezza1 · 22/05/2013 18:42

So what are mice and dumps? Is it a weird regional dish someplace weird ?

HoneyDragon · 22/05/2013 18:50

I got the chavvy label in RL because I sell Avon products and can be seen wearing knackered Ugg boots in public places.

However, the situation became interesting awkward, when the charming woman discovered I owned the company her husband worked for.

Nowt so queer as folk.

HoneyDragon · 22/05/2013 18:57

Sex pond Grin

Don't want a hot tub but I really want a sex pond now.

It would be lined with lush pampas grass and solar lights. And have a full size statue of Peter Andre wading to shore like in the Mysterious Girl video, in sparkling orange bronze. Fairy lights entwined in vases of twiggy shit would be strategically placed around it.

ExitPursuedByABear · 22/05/2013 19:00

Ooh Honey. I need some if that stuff that makes a good fly repellant for horses.

VinegarDrinker · 22/05/2013 19:04

Pmsl at mice and dumps. Sounds..... tasty.

Mince and dumplings possibly??

HoneyDragon · 22/05/2013 19:04

Skin so soft green?

HoneyDragon · 22/05/2013 19:06

Unless you meant a sex pond? That would keep the flys off too, but may confuse and scare potential suitors.
