Worse than Chavs

That might be true, however, that's the OLD, unused definition.

The common usage of 'derro' is a person who is not homeless, but just a plain {bleep}head.

No, that would be a "muzza", a "Sidchrome" or, my favorite, a "wanker". A derro is and always will be a drunken homeless person, eg. "Geez, will you look at that bloody derro taking a pi$$ on that car over there..." or "Honey, theres a bloody derro asleep in the front yard again, get me a bucket of water!!!" :-D

No, I don't know about north of Melbourne, but certainly in the East & South East region, a derro is a drug abusing nearly brain dead moron, who doesn't care about anybody.

Usually they are unemployed, have slow speach, rough skin, and beg for 'spare change man' alot.

At least a neo-nazi cares about some people. Derro's don't even care about themselves.

Ahh, you mean a "piece of junkie sh!t", then yes, technically the term "derro" could be used.

Crikey...  One or two of them were advocating the notion that it's okay to be as thick as sh#t and pig ignorant in public, because the normal rules of society don't apply to them.

I was kind of feeling mixed emotions watching it.  Part of me was thinking "please, dear God make sure none of them breed", but part of me was actually quite struck by the fragility shown in all of them - with the exception of the anti-semite who I just wanted to see get slapped by someone.  Strangely the narrator seemed to have the most sympathy for her saying "If anyone was a product of their environment, then its [her])".  

The funniest was the Ali G moment courtesy of her friend.  "I have to keep tellin' people I is black, cos I don't look black or nuffink. It's like, cos I 'ave a black mum...".  

The one I felt most sorry for was Rudi, although she sickened me with her attitude to violence, she had a lot of bottled up anger and frustration over her father's death.  She was also the one I held out the most hope for in the future.  She had a side to her that was quite articulate.

Maybe this is just the first time Chavs have been allowed on t.v?  :lol:

Is there a place I can download this, or view it somehow?

I recognize that phenomena. Any Swedes here who will join me in my crusade against Lunarstorm? :evilgrin:

Actually, as a native (and qualified) English speaker I found it difficult at times too...

Maybe they could have put up subtitles or something?

@ subtitles

 :lol:

Like they did in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ?
(Do you remember Rory Breaker's rhyme/slang?)
The best one was '...he was watching the custard...'
For our Aussie friends, I will translate: custard is one half of an item (jelly and custard). What does jelly rhyme with? Telly!!
So he was watching the telly...

That one cracks me up every time. Could be a South African thing, I don't know.

But...as far as these rude girls go, I think they are worse than chavs because they actually damage property and people. I mean buying crowbars and peeling the labels off, and vandalising cars and 'bottling' people, that seems a bit extreme for a chav.

Not in my experience. I don't hate chavs just because they look at me funny, y'know. :lol:

I thought the general consensus was that chavs are annoying, mouthy brats loitering around MacDonalds in Burberry clothing. In other threads people have said that they will back down if confronted.
You mean they are violent too?

Not always. But it's certainly not out of the realms of chavdom.

They will usually attack in groups, of course.

Well, I don't know if you recognise it, but that's Robert DeNiro as Travis Bickle in the film 'Taxi Driver'. One of my favorite films.

As for what it means to me, Travis feels very alienated and apart from the world around him, which I definitely relate to.

ach zo.
but I always thought about that (yup, I lived too for a long time in a world that was extremely alienated from me) the world was wrong, I mean, I that I should go to a place that where the ppl are not alienated to me (exodus - Bob Marley)
not necessarily far away, but I mean, just the right place.
So I read that you want to the Americas but methinks tis more important you seek out a place where you feel where you belong (I got that now, here in Groningen-city)
