Subject: quick question for ya yanks
Written By: Josh2 on 04/22/06 at 4:24 pm
Just a quick question for you americans.
Do you know what a chav is?
I'm waiting for Dumb Ass Kid (Hint Hint) to get online and then I'm gonna suggest writing a parody together about chavs, but there not much point if the majority don;t know what they are.
I've written a bit of it and it basically explains it.

A Chav is just
A Wannabe Gangster

Yep. A British wigger.
I have British friends on other message boards, and they informed me about chavs.

You can always use the "Top Comments" field to explain it/something before the parody starts. As an example my recent parody "20 000 Sheep" would have made no sense at all without an introduction, yet it went on to shared victory/infamy in the numbers/symbols contest round. :P

The song you end up using should have the word "have" in the title or in the chorus, methinks, for optimum "chav" word-substitution. Anyone have some titles that come to mind?
"Chav I Told You Lately That I Hate You" ? ;D

Not quite, Luke...chavs and bogans are two subtlely different species

BOGAN
They're both hard drinking, working class and not big on cultural pursuits. Chavs would like to think of themselves as "bling" and tend to listen to hip hop, while bogans are into cars and hard rock. Chavs more closely align with American "wiggers" while bogans tend to be more redneck in their presentation

The closest both come to an American cultural stereotype would be "redneck", although rednecks tend to be rural, while chavs and bogans tend to be urban and suburban.

Ah, professor... I believe there's a cultural song about the suburban Bogan:
Once a jolly Bogan lit up by a billabong
Clutched in his hand was a beer or three
And he sang as smoked and supped upon his Castlemaine
"Who'll come a-boozin' and smoking with me"
Boozing and smoking
Puking and choking
Who'll come a-boozing and smoking with me
And he sang to the Sheilas who passed beside the billabong
Who'll come a cruising and poking with me?
Do you happen to know the rest, by any chance? ;)
