Anyone fancy a "Council-house facelift"?

Lovely quote from an obviously intelligent and tasteful Daily Mail reader, who.... hold on a second... the Daily Mail....?

No, I'm not taking to reading that esteemed mag. It's a quote found on a site about the original source of particular words or phrases:

The women, the Daily Mail wrote recently in a characteristic burst of maidenly distaste, “pull their shoddily dyed hair back in that ultra-tight bun known as a ‘council-house facelift’, wear skirts too short for their mottled blue thighs, and expose too much of their distressingly flabby midriffs”.

The quote is from WorldWideWords entry for ... you guessed it ... "ned". Well, actually, their English relative, "chav".

The article gives a few other words from various part of the UK, the best of which has gotta be " kappa slappers".

Pure class man!

And even better is this logo which Chavscum.co.uk will put onto a t-shirt for you next time you go into that nightclub/bar in East Kilbride that the usual suspects walked past on the way back from breakfast on New Year's Day:
