January 8, 200719 yr I never really got what "knickers" are. Are they underwear? They steal things.

What is a Chav? isn't it from Little Britain or something An often poor person, who has bad taste, wears 'ghetto' clothes, chains, gang symbols, that kind of stuff. There's a theory the word is actually an acronym for Council Houses And Violence, which does kind of sum them up rather aptly.
January 8, 200719 yr Can I ask a question? What is a Chav? isn't it from Little Britain or something Chavs, Hoodies, Neds, Townies, Charvers, Steeks, Bazzas, Ratboys, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Stigs, Scallies, Hood Rats etc... A human subspecies, (sub human scum really), whose only purpose is to breed, commit crime and generally drag our proud country's name down with them. How to Spot a Chav? Jewellery is the easiest thing to spot, as Chavs are the only species that wear it all on the outside of their clothing. Normally it's cheap 9c gold and is typically accompanied by a large tag declaring their name. This is incase they forget or need to know the name of the skank they've just bred with. Chavs are issued with a baseball cap at birth (typically of the burberry variety). Since Chavs don't own shoes, they are usually issued with prison white trainers (sneakers) The highest honour that a Chav can ever achieve is a new medal called an ASBO. This is a tracking device installed by our penal system in an effort to prevent said Chav from committing further crimes. Unfortunately, Chavs view this as some kind of reward and like to boast about it to their scummy friends Hope this helps lol
January 8, 200719 yr harrington, that amazing post has inspired me to show our north american and australasian friends a diagram... edit - and...
January 8, 200719 yr Actually, the original definition of a chav (and where the word originally came from) (no offence to anyone living in this area) was Cheltenham Average. (first two letters of each word. Get it?) But it can also means council housed and violent. Basically a chav is someone who wears tracksuits bottoms and top, gold 'bling' and, very possibly, a Burberry cap.

They are the scum of our country, and need to be killed. ASBO stands for Anti Social Behaviour Order. Also, dont forget to look for them at supermarkets such as Ikea, Lidl, or Aldi. I think the people of England (and other people can fly over to here too!) should all go on a Chav vigilante, and beat the [wagon] out of them. ~ W ~
January 8, 200719 yr Tuxedo- US Smoking- UK And the word Smoking Room, is purely UK, there is no US equivalent. Oh, and of course, the infamous UK chavs. :) Is it pronounced s ma king ? And smoking room is where you get dressed?

January 8, 200719 yr Hmm...tell me more about this smacking room...it sounds rather interesting.... The Poison Fairy
January 8, 200719 yr Hmm...tell me more about this smacking room...it sounds rather interesting.... Sounds like some sort of perverted [specialInterest] or a victorian school room.
January 8, 200719 yr Hmm...tell me more about this smacking room...it sounds rather interesting.... Sounds like some sort of perverted [specialInterest] or a victorian school room. It's a gentleman's club from the early 20th century. See here. They are most common in Europe, but probably originated in Britain as a Gentleman's club (a room only for men), during the early 20th century for the wealthy or first/upper class. Ie. Titanic, Lusitania, Mauritania, Olympic, and other British ocean liners from the early 20th century. Me doing staff.
January 9, 200719 yr I don't know if this would have been mentioned yet, or how useful it would be, but last night I used the term "Half-Eight" and was asked to clarify whether or not I meant 7:30 or 8:30. Now, had I been asked by someone from the continent, I wouldn't have been surprised, but the girl was from the USA. (To anyone who doesn't know anyway, if an English person says "half-eight, half-nine, half-twelve, or any other, they mean half past that hour"). When talking to people whose first language isn't British English, I more often find myself noticing their word order and choice of phrases, as opposed to their different vocabulary. deviantart account

January 9, 200719 yr Author Gosh. >.< I found out that "Mate" means dating in .. I think America but here it it noted as Friends. Like an example: "Yo wassup mate?" Bangs is the front part of your hair "Fringe" it is called in England, "Bangs" in America. I think "Pantyhose" are also called "[garden tool]'s" I don't know .. Thanks everyone so far ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢

You remind me of how in everywhere except Canada and the US they use military time. Me doing staff.
January 9, 200719 yr If its 8:30, we say eight thirty. 9:15 is nine fifteen. or a quarter past 9. pantyhose is stockings that are skin colored that are kinda like long socks. Women usually wear them.
January 10, 200719 yr round abouts, those things in the road where its a cirle instead of a stop sign. nebraska ftw ... I can learn about credit, banking, paying taxes, legal rights and mortgages at a skatepark?Runescaper since december 3, 2001
January 11, 200719 yr What's 'pantyhose'? Tights. I think. I think 'pantyhose' are tights. Tights = like trousers (US=Pants) Stockings = 'individual' more like really long socks. Hope that helps in someway :P UK = US Autumn = Fall Boot = Trunk (An elephants nose is a trunk) Advert = Commercial Bum bag = Fanny pack (Fanny is a vagina in UK) AluminIum - Aluminum the Post - the Mail There's loads, I could go on for quite a while :P
January 11, 200719 yr Several people in the UK right words with an 's' instead of a 'z'. I believing the word 'tranquilise' may be a good example. Me doing staff.
January 11, 200719 yr Several people in the UK right words with an 's' instead of a 'z'. I believing the word 'tranquilise' may be a good example. Civilise. Emphasise. But yeah, truth.
January 11, 200719 yr Not forgetting omitting of the "u" in America for certain words: -UK - US -Colour - Color -Favourite - Favorite SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED.
January 11, 200719 yr They both annoy me massively. I refuse to write words with a z, unless theyre things like 'size'. And i love that Runescape doesn't omit the 'o' in its words.
January 12, 200719 yr i used to have a whole book of these english/american things called something like "americans guide to speaking british" cant remember many out of it though, apart from in some places you could ask to "bum a [bleep]" meaning borrow a cigarette, otherwise well... im sure most people can work that one out babelfish - level 180 60th placestrongguy - level 173 69th place
