i’m English and there’s so many guys like this where i live but there doesn’t seem to be an actual name for them which is annoying bc i don’t have a name for what i’m into.
is there an actual, well agreed upon name that’s well recognised in the uk for these guys so people know what i’m on about? :|
That’s Britain’s version of white trash, Chav. And no. It’s not the same as the n word. We’re all typing Chav but not a single one of us is actually typing out the actual n word.
Pretty sure some news show like CNN haD a segment on “what word is more racist, cracker or the n-word”. Then someone like Jon Stewart or Jon Oliver covered that and could only scream “THE ONE YOU CAN’T SAY OR SHOW ON TV!” Good times.
Douches?
Stop it. Just stop trolling.
I think maybe he’s got learning difficulties or something. He’s posted the same troll bait yesterday and is responding in the same way each time.
Probably best not to entertain him.
i’m not trolling, but i couldn’t say the same for the people who responded with an actual slur for working class people like that answers my question
it’s like if someone posted photos of black guys with dreads and fancy hats and they asked what type of guy they’re into and people just responded back with the n word like it answers the question or even remotely narrows anything down
Losers?
Dweebs?
Pieces of shit?
It looks like you’re just a ballcap away from being down for Stephen Miller, at which point I’d encourage you to re-think your life choices…
Most people would call that style “chav”, and I’ve heard people say they’re into chavvy-looking guys/girls, without thinking they were being offensive. If you don’t like that word, I’m sure some clothing store magazine would use terms like “urban street fashion”.
sigh…“chav” is a classist slur that means “working class person”
it neither answers my question nor does it narrow anything down. it’s like if someone posted photos of black guys with dreads and fancy hats and they asked what type of guy they’re into and people just responded back with the n word like it answers the question or even remotely narrows anything down

Are you posting this question in order to get people to say chav so you have an excuse to spread the word about “chav” being inappropriate?
it is inappropriate because it’s a slur. i’d feel the same way about someone posting pictures of rastafari men and the person posting doesn’t know what the word for them is, but instead of people giving an actual answer they just respond with “those are (n word)s” over and over
i don’t know if it’s just people trying to be edgy or not because they themselves don’t know the answer but it left a bad taste in my mouth
you didn’t answer their question
I’m not disagreeing that it’s a working clas slur, I know that. But you asked what the well agreed upon name is for that subculture is… and sadly it’s a slur. I’ve seen people describe themselves or their style using that word, I’ve been people put in dating profiles (both as a self description, and as something they’re looking for).
This fashion article uses it repeatedly (and acknowledges it’s contraversial origins as a word), but also uses “casuals”, “English working class youth” and “football hooligan” as subculture groups that wear that style of urban street wear.
If you don’t like it, don’t use it. But it is the common agreed upon term that you wanted to know. British society doest have quite the same issue with race as the USA, but It has a huge problem with classisim, and it is made much worse because people don’t even see it as a problem. You said that people wouldn’t Just describe a guy in dredds using a racial slur, but they would have 80 years ago. Britain is still at that stage with its attitudes to working class culture. And appropriately, “Chavs” by Owen Jones is a good introduction to people interested in the issue.
You’ve asked this several times. You get the same answer. You don’t like that answer! You ask the question again?
cuz people kept responding with a slur which doesn’t answer my question
maybe what’s offensive is your need to objectify and classify strangers in the first place.
having a name for my type would be useful in helping me find my type
I doubt that.
Icy hot stuntaz?
