  1. #: You never see any gay chavs, do you? (If you are American: do you ever see any gay guidos?)

    1. @thelastgherkin What's a guido?

      1. @redenchilada I WAS TOLD the American version of a chav. Apparently not?

        1. @thelastgherkin Not from what I know. Use idiot terms for me.

          1. @redenchilada Likely what the popular but stupid kids in school have become now. Chavs are lower-class British people in shellsuits and hoodies and baseball caps with a whole bunch of associated clichés. Guidos are (as far as I understand it) lower-class Italian-American jocks who tan themselves and something something Jersey Shore.

            1. @thelastgherkin Guidos usually act like they want to be in an episode of The Sopranos, whether they're italian or not... it's kinda sad.

                1. @thelastgherkin Please, I used to know the real thing, those posers aren't worth the time of day.

        2. @thelastgherkin Yeah, it is, same thing

        3. @thelastgherkin Yeah. They aren't Guidos unless you are a yanky from somewhere outside of the bible belt, complaining about Italian-Americans, I guess... But no. I think that the Chav is about as trying to prove that I ain't no gay as a closet bi-curio can get. Bangers. Gang Bangers. That is the term. In the south-eastern US, we were all poor and oppressed by the Unionists after the civil war, so the black folk that grew-up around here got along just fine with the white folk that were in the area before the war. The carpet-baggers came from the industrialized northern parts with papers from the bank and plundering mind set. Knoxville, Tennessee is being over-run today with Mexicans (no problem) and folk from Detroit and Chicago. They usually go to the black side of town and stir unrest and cordon-off the areas for the crack-fiends to stay. We have Neo-Nazis, too. Recently, it has been hip for all of those parties to rise up together and let their pants sag and look like idiots.

          1. @fnordly ... so for your thought for the day ... we didn't have Chavs until you started calling them that, then they reared their snotty noses on this side of the Atlantic, too. Are they gay, or do they even know that they do not know?

            1. @fnordly I am thoroughly baffled by what you're talking about.
