Howmanheyman 27412 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 People who say "do the math" - its seems to be a recent thing - what happened to the s for fuck sake - it really irritates me for some reason Isn't it just Americans who say that?

brummiemag1 0 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I think its an American expression but it seems to be creeping in over here - Ive heard it used on radio 5 and TV a few times recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 "He's got the hump" - a southern phrase for southern people so why are people here starting to use it. Werruld - the way scots say world, how hard is it to say fuckin world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27412 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Some words I can't stand are 'Greame' and 'Souness' as well as 'Derek' and 'Llambias' but only in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27412 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Not licking Meenzers arse, (obviously) but I can't stand the word 'faggot' either. It's from the US in its derogatory form and sounds even worse when someone British says it. Its not big and its not clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like word chav, I don't care how many documentaries are done on the word chav is derived from the geordie "charva" absolute fact. Chav's bad enough as a word, but worse when geordies use it, when we have a perfectly good word ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the word 'Chav' was first used by the papers/all and sundry throughout the country there was a certain smugness as they'd recognised a certain type and gave them a new name, completely oblivious to the fact the word was around in its true form for at least 20 years up here. Any Geordie using the word has no sense of pride in their own language. Chav has 100% been taken from the word charva.

I saw a documentary that tried to suggest gypsies have been saying it for years, total fuckin bollocks. The origins of charva were about when I started high school - the doilum, charva, meff generation of 87-95 I'd guess. The early use of charva wasn't necessarily about charvas as we know them now, more like about people older than you "the big fuckin charva telt wu off", that was how charva was used in its' infancy.

PaddockLad 14844 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Chavvie is a romany word for young man...mostly used in the south of England. As with a lot of gypsy words (gadgie is its northern equivalent) it has become commonplace in everyday language. Theres a Sham 69 song in which Jimmy Pursey utters "alright chavvie?!" in the intro....it may well be "we're going down the pub" but the audio on my laptop is fucked so I cant check it out but you can claerly hear it ...song written in the late 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27412 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Charva was around for years before the 'Charvas' started using it and its how they got their name. About the time of 1991 you had the Meadowell riots plus bother in the West End and there was a growing trend of people/media talking about 'gangsters' and certain teenagers went fucking mad for it and thought they we well in with hard men they might have once passed in the street. I left school in 1990, a year later met a kid I went to school with, he was from Byker. Anyway, he was talking pure Charva with his mouth contorted on one side of his face, I said, "hoo, Stanna! What the fuck you talking like that for? You had a stroke or something?" as at school he spoke like any other normal kid, to be fair to him he did look a bit embarrassed and started talking 'propa'.

Meenzer 14133 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 "As far as..." without a closing "...is concerned" (or similar). I assume it's an Americanism as I always hear it in my head in a whiny Yank accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Do the charvs still use 'ladgeful' btw? Never noticed it as much to be honest. Using ladgeful, pronounced lajfill by some, confirmed your status as a Category C charva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Also, I remember the lass who used to live next to us. She once said to my sister "Here man, am ill". So my sister asked her what was wrong so she answered "Nor man, am ill". To this day neither me or me sis have a fucking clue what this lass was on about.

Why do you feel the need to continually make things up, lie or just adjust the facts to suit your own agenda? I must be about 15 years older than you and meff was around when I was a kid to describe meths drinkers. Why anyone would want to take pride of origin in some silly word is beyond me. I imagine all cities have their own words, phrases etc.. completely unique to that city, some travel well, some don't. There are many Scouse words that I see repeated on tele from people in other areas, sometimes it sounds a bit odd but there you go, it's the way of things. Innit and thang, horrible words. Final result - even used by the BBC. A result is final ffs. Edited August 10, 2011 by Pacinofan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one mug round here, the unfortunate thing is you don't recognise yourself as it. It should be half time score and I have ne desire or need to listen to Ray Winston say anything.
