"council housed and violent" innit?

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 19 Jul 2013, 12:09, Reply)

I believe it comes from an old Roman word meaning 'young boy', although I could be wrong.
When I was a kid in Berwick, the word 'chavvy' was used instead of 'lad'.

+y
From Oxford dictionary:
1990s: probably from Romany chavo 'boy, youth' or chavvy 'baby, child': sometimes said to have originated in Chatham, Kent, and to be a shortening of that name
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 19 Jul 2013, 12:12, Reply)

Wikipedia, that great font of accurancy, says:
The term has its origins in the Romani word chavi, meaning "child".

I tried to get my mum to buy me a shellsuit when I was about 11.
She outright refused to have anything to do with it. I have never been more grateful to her for anything as I am for that.

I wore a lot of oversized stuff in the 90's.
Bright shirts too.

and I had blonde curtains.

That era has a lot to answer for.

Probably quicker to go with the stuff I've not done wrong...
Never worn socks with sandals, with the exception of medical necessity.
Never worn track suits.
Only ever worn a baseball cap in the proper direction.
I think that's about it.

In the 90's I thought that a maroon paisley pattern short sleeve hooded T-shirt was the shit. It wasn't, as some murky VHS footage from that period can attest to.

I once didn't have any choice than to wear flip flops in the office
as I'd sustained two fucking mozzie bites on two of my toes and one on the top of my foot. Fuckers swelled right up and I couldn't wear shoes for a few days due to the sheer discomfort.

Bastard mozzies.
