Perhaps it has become more commonly used this year, but I can remember my roommate talking about 'chavvy ackers' when we started Uni (gulp) nine years ago...

She had to explain what the hell she was talking about at the time

I wonder are there any YD'ers that are Chavs/Spides or are now reformed into humans? Most probably not but I do wonder? Perhaps they are offened why we give them a good slagging?

Some buffoon from the Scottish Socialist Party (or whatever they are called) tried to have the word "ned" banned (Scottish word for chav). I think it was because most of the party's MSPs were offended because it was describing themselves. They never got over Burberry baseball caps being banned from the parliament.

I think refers to a grotesque racing sport involving donkeys, naked men, and (allegedly) exnavyboys inflatable sheep. Fortunately the sport is now banned.

The chav has none of the class of the Scottish ned. They pioneered the shell suit tucked in the sock look, the optimum angle for the Burberry cap and the ugly red-haired ned's bird (known locally as a "wee hairy"). And not to forget the developments in glue sniffing.

Why do they wear clothes covered in squiggly writing when none of them can read?

Can you actually buy a Burberry baseball cap in a Burberry shop? Has anyone tried? Would they even let you in wearing a shell suit?

Thumbs up
For some of the finest representation of 'Neds', watch any episode of 'Chewing the Fat' (top notch TV!) - the bits where the news presenter says: "And now the headlines. And, translating for the Neds, we have wee Danny..."

Even better is a spin off from Chewin the Fat called Still Game, with the two old codgers called Jack & Victor. There is one epsiode where they are plagued by bull terrier owning neds... brilliant.

Still the best line from Chewin the Fat has got to be from the sketch of the little boy out at the shops with his mum when she meets her friend.

"Oh johnny is really big."

"Aye, he's 12, that's him at the masturbating now..."

Cringe...

Or the time one came into the bar with a new t-shirt and his mate told him he was being ripped off. French connection is the one he wanted. He turned around and his t-shirt said 'cnut' on it. Thought I was going to pass out laughing.

We would soon know who they were, they would not need weight belts on account of all the "Bling" if that didn't do it the Burberry dry suit would.
