Buzzcocks Rap

Continuing the theme of regional accents being used out of context, this is Buzzcocks a cult comedy about a charver gangsta rapper. I'm convinced the root of the word 'chav' is 'charver' the term used to describe tracky bottom, baseball cap, Reebok classic sporting adolescents, and teenage girls with big ear rings and pulled back hair pushing their bairns around Gateshead.

'Charver' was around - and had been for years - when I lived in Newcastle in 2001. In Manchester and Liverpool they were scallies, now they're all 'chavs'. Nevertheless this series is fookin hilarious.

I digress this has been sampled by cheeky scamp Caspa for his refix of his own dubstep anthem Cockney Thug, Geordie Thug.
