Aspies For Freedom

Just what exactly are "Chavs" and "bovver boys"?

I knew chavs and ASBO, but "bovver boys" was new -- I presumed they were boys who "bovver" (bother) people.

Close enough:

from Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.ph...fid=398753

1.   bovver boy  

cockney pron. for bother boy; a skinhead or other thuggish, anti-social, no-brain

Emmy, ASBO means Anti-Social Behavior Order. In the UK it's a court order against somebody that basically orders them to stop acting aggressive, noisy, belligerent and trashy.

It's a bit controversial. It's been over-used to charge people over some very silly, minor things, and most people feel it's not very effective against the serious offenders.

An ASBO a badge of honour????

If that's what's happening it's *** well not working! And with the way it's being thrown around willy nilly as previously observed I'm not really surprised.

If there really is a behavioral problem that can't be explained by any medical means - I think one has to start taking things off them. I'm not sure what to be honest, but there has to be another way.

And he will no doubt explain how that need to provoke is not the online equivalent of the bovver boys.

The British equivalent of the ghetto trash that walk around with their Yankee caps at stupid angles and their pants hanging off the edge of their ***, shouting Yo and describing everything in skin colour?

Yes, those people need to to be stabbed with knives, have BB guns shot into their stab wounds, have brands burnt into them, hung out to drip blood into buckets, and then forced to drink it all, if they're still alive by then. Then when they vomit, feed them that. If there are still some alive, send them off to concentration camps to be given bukakke by a bunch of angry Nazis on pogo sticks, then forced to take it off with their hands and eat it. If they're STILL alive, have them get anal raped by zombies from Zelda Ocarina of Time. That should kill them.

No, I'm not insane, just really bored. Inventing cruel and unusual punishments is an art.

Why NO Ian, I was not trying to make you seem stupid Bro. I donno where you live but before you started this thread I knew nothing of the term 'bovver boys" or of "chavs".

"Are you my Mummy?"

(Only Doctor Who fans will get the significance of that joke!)

I dont wanna take something up with you Ian; Im just pointing out the fact that I had no clue as to what you were talking about after the 1st post to this thread. Thats is all.

I was on a bus a couple of weeks ago and got chatting to an old (even older than me ) lady. She clocked my English accent and wanted to know how long I'd been here and what I thought of the place & people etc.

I explained that I only came because my dh got a job with the state government and that I had been really worried about coming to Australia because I'd heard of the heat, the poisonous creatures and the horrible people. (This seemed to get everyone else surreptitiously listening in).

She raised her eyebrows and said in a stage whisper "Oh, the ABORIGINALS!"

I replied, in a voice designed to carry the length of the bus, "No, the RACIST BIGOTS."

Great sense of satisfaction!

A hit! A very palpable hit!

I2? What's that?

Uhhhh..... nevermind.

Please just explain in case I ever hear of this I2 again. From an NT who simply expects everyone they talk to to know what they know.

Not sure but would one call a female chav a "chavette"?
