Just heard two men leave from the apartment across the hall.
Well, now that sounds like QUITE the Valentine's Day!!! No wonder she was loud!
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
And just heard the door open and the woman talking to another man, but I'm not sure if he was entering or leaving. Or if he was one of the same ones as the first two.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Well, go team her!
"chav" does seem very not-US-at-all, from what I've seen of it, Hil. But I"m sure we have groups that are very not-UK, I suppose.
afaik, it's our equivalent of white trash. Sookie Stackhouse pings me as an example of an American version of a chav. 'Course, the word has come into usage during my time as an expat, so I may be wrong - but it seems to refer to all the things that, when I was little, my mum used to call "common". Nowadays nobody says "common" - but they throw "chav" around like nobody's business.
Breakfast, Dinner, Tea = working class terminology.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner = middle class terminology.
I'm surprised "dessert" is chav-y, but I guess maybe it's because it's a faux-posh thing? Or something? Because most people would say pudding, or afters.

White trash is a fairly regional term, though, I think. I don't think I've ever heard it used in the northeast. The tracksuits and designer knockoffs and big gold jewelry thing seems like bridge-and-tunnel crowd, but that's even more regional -- just the NYC area.

Interesting. I've heard "trash," but not "white trash."

Oops! I just woke up from a nap lasting several hours. That is not supposedto be the result of drinking half a pot of tea in the afternoon.
Shit I didn't do today: Put a sign on the first floor landing that says ''We live here too. Please remember you indoor voice when coming and going, and don't slam the fucking door.''

Actually, now that I think about it, I have heard "white trash" in NJ, but only to describe either Britney Spears or Eminem. I have no idea what this signifies.

I reluctantly admit to using the term "white trash" more than once.
