Chato has stated that he has been called white trash. Based on personal experience, I have put together a little test. It’s a simple agree/disagree thing.
The best thing about working at McDonald’s is the employee discount.
You have more major appliances in your back yard than in your kitchen.
You cash your checks at the same place you buy your guns.
The only time you have ever picked up litter, it was part of the terms of your probation.
You have invited friends over to watch “your” episode of COPS.
“Doublewide” describes both your house and your wife.
The last time you made a phone call that didn’t require coins was to your lawyer.
The last hotel you stayed at offered weekly, daily and hourly rates.
You own a complete set of chinese-made sockets, three rebuilt alternators and a full set of mag wheels, but not a car.
You think “movie trailer” means a house in your neighborhood with a working VCR.
You once had to cancel Christmas dinner because KFC was closed.
You think a good first date is dinner at Arby’s, a forty in the car, and a spin through the cookie aisle at Wal-Mart.
You have five kids, who each send Father’s day cards to five different addresses.
Your husband/wife is in all your Christmas photos - from when you were a kid.
You think the New York Stock Exchange is a used gun parts store.
Scoring - if you agree with ten or more, and need someone to help you count that high, you are probably white trash.
Don’t fret it, Faust’s questions lean to trailer trash/hick and that is certainly across the board. I am sure you can find something that will fit America the land of closet hicks. =D>
have you ever used a book to keep something else from wobbling
do you use plastic store bags used for trash bags or storage
Do you have to look at a wal mart as you go past it
do you go to wal mart at least once a month
Do you think slap stick humor is funny
do you decorate your car in any way
do you use slang in any way
Is there a skeleton in your family closet that is brought out and talked about
Do you know what Whhhhooooodang means
Does your dog/cat/ sheep /goat or pig sleep in your house and is it a family member
do you eat fried foods cold
the list can go on
USA citizens are for the vast majority closet hicks. and durn proud of it. Who else would throw away tons of tea into a harbor rather than confiscate it and sell it to others. Who else delights in violent sports so much that we actually pay athletes ungodly amounts of money just for the entertainment. Who else delights in wierd yard art soo much so that a whole huge market niche has been created just for that, I mean really, are two lions at your fake gate really sophisticated or any different than a microwave or two sitting in the yard?
See what I mean? I am sure you could fit nicely in there somewhere
OH English, that explains it. You have not been properly indoctrinated to the social sciences of USAian backwater hickiness. Its quite contagious. So much so that you can see our president is affected by this disease. Thankfully its not fatal. You just get strange urges to do all of the above at some point.
I am sure that you English have your version of it. I think every country does. France pretends they don’t but they do.
Yeah, our version is called a ‘chav’ - they wear sovereign rings, fake designer clothes, too much jewellry, and too much Burberry all in one go: they can be rich or poor, but a chav is a chav: no matter how much money they throw around.
The French are stylish, regardless of how we label them / Chavs are not stylish, but they are under the illusion that they are!
America the land of closet hicks. =D>
