I (32 F) like the look/vibe (love the flannel/plaid look especially). I also like how intimidating they can be. I'm not sure how I'd go about trying to find one, though.

Check your local council estate.

Based on your definition of chav (I too thought tracksuits, trainers, and UK urban slang), think about the kind of hobbies folks like this do. Dunno if it's an exact equivalent, but if someone was looking for a redneck here in Canada, they'd be going to car and truck shows/events, hunting events, small town bars, fishing derbies, small circuit pro-wrestling events, farm/harvest festivals, county fairs, that kind of thing.

Chavs don't wear flannel. They wear polyester tracksuits.

Try the local flat roof pub. If you’re not sure where it is, listen for the barking of the XL Bully left neglected in the back yard.

Ready to get knocked up and then knocked about? That's the Chav-life.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Yer either knocking her up or knocking her down

Lend your car out freely. Cosign for things. Make it clear you don't like condoms.

Drink lots of beer and look for someone who looks like theyre not opposed to domestic violence

Ladbrokes is a good start. Job Centre. Gym (boxing gyms usually). Race riots.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Race riots.

Hahaha

I don't really feel like redneck is the appropriate parallel. It just feels off.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.

Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn't xo exist

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.

A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.

Move to a rural town. That's all we got around here!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I feel like if @themeatbridge and @frenchfryenjoyer started dating, it would have to be a poly relationship. You'd need a 3rd person with a username that refers to some kind of drink.

Then you could have the aqua teen hunger force!!!

I lol'd. Great job

Send msgs via baby goats you let loose in the country side. Worked for my aunt. Then again she was serial killer, but I think the tactic still applies

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Hi yes, i am 30 and wear flannels and get too drunk on the weeknds. You can call me the man of your dream, NDB.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Go to New Jersey and give out free beer

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Flannel? Intimidating? Have you considered a big 'ol Bull Dyke?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Do y'all have trailer parks in the UK? πŸ€”

Though the flannel thing doesn't need to be a chav/redneck/bogan. They could just be hella into grunge and admire Kurt Cobain.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Or they might be Mick Foley.

Hey OP? Does you "chav" need to have all his teeth? Because I wouldn't call Mick Foley a redneck, but he IS missing teeth from falling off of Hell in a Cell. Which is a cage that's about 20 feet tall.

Imagine just waking up one day and saying to yourself "I'm going to go to work today, and I'm going to throw myself off a ledge onto a concrete floor. With the only thing to break my fall being a wooden table and a nearby steel guardrail. If I throw myself too far, I'll most certainly be hurt or dead. And I won't tell ANYBODY that I'm going to do this. So no safety measures will be set in place beforehand. In fact, I'm going to force my coworker, who has a broken foot, to ALSO climb a chainlink fence cage, with nothing in the cage made easier to climb.....again, because nobody knew ahead of time that was the plan."

Ever wake up, and just think that's what you want to do at work? Or that's what you want your boyfriend to do?

I guess what I'm trying to say is.....go watch hell in a cell. It's insane. Even moreso when you consider that the only people who knew the plan long ahead of time, were Mick, and Terry Funk (who was not supposed to be part of the match at all).

The Undertaker only knew the plan that day. He was NOT happy he had to climb that thing.....and he didn't know he'd have to climb it a second time until it was happening. I mean seriously. Who was going to expect a 300lbs man to crash to the floor, and then think he'd INSIST on standing up, pushing medical staff away who were legitimately telling him "no, stay down! You're going to the hospital!", pushes them away and runs back to climb the cage again?

And thats when he almost died....

Guys! What I'm trying to say is go watch hell in a cell. It's like watching 9/11 without the tragedy or terrorism.

Your comment reminded me of the user on Reddit who would start out a comment talking about the whatever and then halfway through it became about Undertaker throwing Mankind off Hell in a Cell.

Edit: ShittyMorph is the user.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Best thing on Reddit, always made me laugh 😁

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

When I saw the hell in a cell reference I got a little excited. Then slightly sad

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
