This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

I've had enough of...
...all this holier-than-thou flaming of those they perceive as being holier-than-thou, mostly because those perpetrating this blatant hypocrisy don't seem to realise it. That and the fact that they likely have no realistic frame of reference for the shite they're spouting.

Y'see, I did most of my growing up on a rough-arsed council estate and I'll admit, in a way I miss the place.

Only the one way though - in every other way I fucking despise it and more still the vast majority of witless, worthless social retards that are dump-truck-tipped into the place and others like it.

I've been accused by some of forgetting where I came from, but this isn't the case. I remember vividly, but these days I just expect better from my life and in addition to being aware that I'm the only one who can make that happen, I was and am willing to get off my arse and do so.

This is why I have no respect or tolerance whatsoever for anti-intellectual, market-bling-adorned council estate chav scum* and variants thereof because I started out the same way they did but the difference is that I got my shit together. Friends and family helped out, of course, but most of the work-to-be-done in carving out a decent life for myself that I could call a life and not just an existence was mine, just like it should be. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, my Mum is proud of me too and yes thanks, I am better in many ways than your average dole-scrounging, vandalising, out-for-all-they-can-thieve, English-language-mangling chav twat. Flame me all you like, I don't and won't care. I'm a productive member of society - by choice. They aren't - by choice. So fuck them, and fuck you too if you don't like it.

*And yes, I know that not all of those on council estates are chav scum. Just almost all.

Damn you J-Lo, someone's got a bee in her booty
fo-sho!

Don't be fooled by the posts that you've got, you're still you're still thatblokeover there from the block...

EDIT: seriously though, I was in a similar situation to yourself and haven't done that bad compared to my old neighbours. I made the choice early on that I wasn't being dragged into that kind of life and have avoided it since. Who'd be a chav eh?

Good work
On levering yourself out of the chav scum population and bettering yourself.

But it does appear to have made you and angry person.

Oh, no...
...this is just standard Monday morning blues* given a vehicle in which to vent itself. Still, I meant what I said.

So rest assured that I'll be fine by lunchtime, but I'll still think chavs and their variants are twats.

* Okay, yes, I'm proud of being a prole but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy every aspect of it now does it?

I don't think so..
He just doesn't want to be on the receiving end of a load of abuse.. although in my experience here, I don't think that will happen. Points are made very clear, and you can't say fairer than that.

Good on yer, by the way geezer. With you all the way.

I watched a bit of Shameless once...
...but had to turn over - it made me want to throw heavy things at my TV and generally, I like my TV :)
