That is not our bar!

Me: And what drink would you like?
Customer: Salad.
Me:

Haha that almost made me cry. Those customers make it worth having strange days

[Andara Bledin]

You've never met a chav have you?

I'm fairly certain we have chavs around here. Only they have different accents.

^-.-^

I was watching some show that featured two experts, and was wondering why the one Indian lady with the British accent sounded so much smarter than the other foreign guy. Thinking it over, I realized that while growing up, the only British people I heard were on PBS - Masterpiece Theater dramas, David Attenborough, Jane Goodall, and the like. No wonder I (and probably most other Americans) think upper class British accents sound so smart! 'Course, Bertie Wooster doesn't count.

And this is probably why we Yanks think it's soooo funny when we hear British people use profanity. It's just FUNNIER when someone with a British accent does it.

Oh, yeah, and we have Chavs over here, we just have much ruder words for them.

Ok. Now I REALLY have to look like a dumb hick and ask what a CHAV is.

[Zipporah]

Are chavs the equivalents of teenage hooligans/wannabe gangstas? I've heard rude terms for them in America, namely "white trash".

[DGoddessChardonnay]

oh you think you have it bad... I live in a state where the only exposure we've gotten on TV has been "Big Love"... people think you are a redneck hick and they think I have multiple wives...

And here, we've got bootleggers and Mayberry . . . can we call an even trade?

I dont know why I think this is so funny! But I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. Does anyone know what rule that is that I just almost broke?

A bogan/wigger from the UK.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Ouch. I was just gonna say that "white trash" was the polite term.

[Peppergirl]

Picturing THAT with a British accent is just KILLING me.

SC: There! £1.49! Glass of chardonnay! Told you!
Me: Oh my God...ma'am...that is not my bar...
SC: It says £1.49!
Me: Yes it does! But it is not us! It's not even the same building as us!
SC: Well that's misleading.
Me: OK, I'm going now.
SC: Fine! I'll drink in here then!

To which I would be sorely tempted to reply: "Well, ma'am, I'm afraid we can't serve you at either price. You're obviously so drunk, I have to cut you off now."

A chav comes up to the bar. He looks about 14.

I know this is regional slang, but I'm curious. What the heck is a chav?

Me: And what drink would you like?
Customer: Salad.

The perfect solution: blender.

[TryNotToBeThatOne]

We do have something similar to chavs. We call them wannabes.

Now just close your eyes and picture THAT, with a British accent. Every time I do, I giggle uncontrollably.
