Neighbor is from Liverpool

I think the common term here is white-trash.

Aussie definition:

Bogan

For other uses, see Bogan (disambiguation).

The term bogan (pronounced /ˈboʊgən/, rhyming with slogan) is Australian and New Zealand English slang, usually pejorative, for a person who is, or is perceived to be, of a lower-class background. According to the stereotype, the speech and mannerisms of "bogans" indicate, poor education, cheap clothing and uncultured upbringing. 'Bogans' usually reside in economically disadvantaged suburbs (often outer metropolitan) or rural areas[1].

The term is a close regional equivalent to the English term Chav or Pikey, Scottish term Ned, Irish term Scanger and the North American term White Trash. However the term 'bogan' is occasionally used with some affection in Australia/NZ, whereas those corresponding terms are not.

(often outer metropolitan)

How contrary is that to America where all the the wealthy / middle class hit the burbs.

Bollocks is an english swear word, as in 'That's a load of bollocks!' like 'That's a load of sh!t!'.

A perv is someone who gets their kicks looking at women or young girls.

No idea about randy bloat, maybe you mean randy bloke.

All are not very nice I'm afraid.

Not quite true, if someone/something is 'the dog's bollocks' it's one of the highest compliments, high quality praise indeed

Very true, forgot about that one.

I have twisted knickers

[Peikko 1,575]

I imagine the guy she is referring to is a bit of a dickwad though, so not to many dog's bollocks floating around, just a guess though

Have you been accused of 'getting your knickers in a twist'? That's normally a way to suggest that the person is not being as offensive as you have imagined they are - however, their perceptions can be quite wrong too

true, its not a place i would settle down in quite frankly. have been told it used to be quite nice before it went down hill. theres not enough parking spaces or places to keep a car in chatham. and if you dont have a free space outside your house you will get a parking ticket a night. so all the chavs and chaettes can't have a car like they do in folkstone and the like so they have buggies (boys in their peak caps too) with a tot in. and stand in circles for mummy and daddy meetings along chatham high street. well at least thats how it once was when i studied there. sad thing was the mummies and daddies were not more than 15yrs them selfs
