The Things people ask about dreads

i was walking through the brickie workshop at college one day (when i had my blonde dreads) and some chavvy kid just started singing at me.. made me smile, because theyre normally arrogant pricks, and random things like that do make me smile =D

 

Smelly what is a chavvy kid?

 

Omg you don't know chavs!!!! Google chav

 

tracksuit bottoms, hands permanently in their undies (just incase they lose it), baseball cap peaking upwards, stupid/gormless expression, usually a footie shirt, a shoulder holster (with a gun/knife is preferred), cant speak english 'yo yo sup nigga dawg'... not that i stereotype people you understand..

 

like 3 days ago walked past some 2 random skinheads who were like "hey man the barber called, they're looking for you".

i also get asked "who made them", which is kinda annoying

and well the typical questions and comments and stareing

ohhhh what we call wanna be's or gangstas here!!! I get it

 

You don't need sound really, just to know that it goes from clubby music for the Swedes to Agadoo for the Brits

 

wellllll.. locally they have different names, in brum it used to be Kevs and Shazs (kevins and sharons..?!) and up north (manchester way i think) it was Scallys.. but the media dubbed them the Chav, and so now they are known as chavs.

 

hahaha, agadoo. choon!

 

That was crazy!!!!

Ya know my biggest pet peeve is club girls doing the whole pretend lesbian thing for their beefy arrogant boyfriends to bad Nickelback covers. Drives me insane!!!! Come on girls!!!!

 

lol @ "pretend lesbian"

 

Dreads are kind of common in these parts, so I rarely ever get comments.

Oddly enough, I've heard this one more than once:
"You should dread your hair"

Even a year into the process! Way to boost my confidence there, friend >_>

 

ouch, what i get from alot of the black kids at my school is "shiiii doo is them dreads" surprisingly they seem to be the worst informed out of any group

 

Im so jealous..I wish there were folks around here with dreadies...I feel so lonely

 

Lol hey I'm the only outgoing hippie I know of in northern indiana, so I know what its like to be lonely

 

Haaa Im not a hippie...but am a dreadie right smack in the middle of john deere country
They usually either stare rudely or grab their children by the hands and walk briskly away from me.

 

Heh ^^; It isn't as fun as it sounds. A girl at my classroom got dreads 3 months ago. Was weird how she suddenly adopted a "rasta" front (I know, I shouldn't judge). She just cut em' recently, walked into the lecture with a short cut! There are also these guys I've seen that wear the same facial makeup w/ who say they have natural dreads. I've seen three different guys with the same markings on their face on three separate occasions. They tell me they've ripped their "rat-tails" and "beaver-tails" into smaller dreads. I thought it was crazy how their stories were so similar. Was beginning to think it was some kinda joke, but maybe these guys are following something I've never heard of, lol.

Callie4Strings and Indy Hippy, its okay =) I'd like to think of you guys more as true pioneers for being the only ones gutsy enough to try something so rare~ And you know you always have friends here
