Ian
no i dont. ohwell.
Ian- I feel like I'm watching one of those odd brit shows on PBS when I can't sleep.
Sorry, I just have no idea what you're saying!
Though the slang dictionairy was helpful.
I have a similar problem with young-ish people around here as well... walking in the grocery store and such- they expect me to move for them. ME! I am usually carrying children! And I have to move for THEM. Not even kind of, like they they will actually WALK into me if I don't move. (I've tried it once or twice- evil snicker) Then they just look at me like I've done something wrong... Do you have any idea how hard it is to move a stroller around someone?
yes, the young types (I'm not old either!) seem to think they have inherited the universe even though no one died to give it to them.
There, now I've shared your rant despite not understanding a single word you said... though I've obviouly understood some of it!
If the ASBO is a badge of honor in the UK, then are blisters and stripes across the butt a badge of honor in Singapore? (Or 80 lashes with a whip in Iran?)
I try to think civilized, but hearing stuff like this makes me think corporal punishment and public humiliation might be the only way to deal with that type. This makes me think of the @$$#0!3$ who lived in my apartment complex last year until they finally got thrown out. They'd get all loud and obnoxious in the parking lot, and look at me like I'm a freak when I'd get home from work. (Had they actually %#$&ed with me, they'd have been explaining it to the cops real quick.) What bothered me the most was they were killing ducklings and stray kittens. (When I complained to the management, I was told I was by far not the first to complain.) When it comes to the part about animal cruelty, all delusions of civilization fall aside and I'm all in favor of harsh punishment.
i tend to get double the amount of abuse being that i'm an aspie AND a transvestite...so i just started kick boxing...lets see if the feckers like that...lol x
I’m from the UK.
I do understood the slang terms used by Ian-- but don’t think a lot of them are in everyday use (not in my circles anyway).
Ian--you have a very a clever and colourful use of language--I like the way you put things. Although it would be nicer if you avoided some of the swear words (sorry to seem prudish).
I agree with you concerning the ‘Chavs’ and ‘bovver’ boys--it’s a recognised problem. They can be very intimidating. ABSO’s don’t work as every little yob wants one--they’ve become ‘a badge of honour’--having an ASBO gives them ’street cred’.
‘Yob culture’ in Britain is similar to problems experienced in US with gangs and guns.
‘Yob culture’(really an oxymoron--with accent on moron).
Even though I'm an Aussie, I understand a lot of Brit slang. It's probably because I used to get comics from the UK as a child eg. Whizzer & Chips and Lion & Thunder and have read a lot.
We have yobbos here but we also call them no-hopers and ratbags (bit of an insult to rats, which are often charming creatures).
I also get aggravated with people who always seem to expect me to move aside for them and this is even when they say "excuse me" but in a rude tone of voice. If they say "excuse me" nicely, then I am only too happy to move.
It's not so much the young people here - it's also the middle aged ones who can be rude and pushy and road rage incidents are increasingly, especially amongst women.
When people say "excuuuse me" in a rude tone, I really feel like saying "of course you're excused, I won't tell anybody that you just farted".
YES ASBO's are a badge of honour & now even really elderly people are getting them & I'm talking 80+ year olds & THEY think the same.
I would like to know if anyone is actually checking up on them, because they seem to carry on just the same regardless.
Places like moss side--I wouldn't dare go there, I don't think I would get out alive.
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.
For a minute there, I was beginning to think this was I2 or the weird news site that I must not name. That damn Eighth Amendment!

You could collect moi as well, Ian. I could use another friend, anyhow.
I know the "type" you're talking about, Ian, and you're right... we ought to make these vermin suffer for their infractions, but I'm afraid only the greatest degree of street smarts/manipulative social skills is good enough to dent their confidence. And those with AS simply don't have that.
I've been shouted at on the street before--"you're wearing a red shirt? Gay boy!"--and I know the rage I feel cannot be expressed, because my timing is lacking and I don't have the "touch" on these things. And, I don't get into fist fights. Better not to come home all bloodied up.

that's what combine metrocops sound like
You're into Half Life 2, eh, Ian?
I have the game and was into the multiplayer--bigtime--about 7-8 months ago then my "interests" shifted and I left it alone.
Wouldn't mind dusting it off if you're looking for a rumble, though ;p
My mum recalls with much amusement one incident on the bus..
this old woman sitting infront of her said to another old woman "they ought to learn that Jade Goody to speak proper."
Ian
That story reminds me of an incident years ago. a couple of women with their children were gossiping & one said " I CANT STAND children being called 'kids' ."........ "Johnny come over here now, we are going to visit nanny" ?????

*grins* I remember there was a "Today Tonight" episode on illegal immigrants, which featured a shop owner that had a sign in the window saying "If you can't speek English, get out of my shop". And yep, that's not a typo - the sign actually said "Speek"...
It's another aspie site, with no limits on use of language. (Please pardon the "uh nevermind" remark. I just don't want to get in trouble with the moderators here.)
