As an extension of Stav's 'Charvas' question

[beenee]

I'm beginning to see photocopies of certain types of people all over the place - there are the 'fashionable' girls with the short skirts, knee length boots and a hair quif that a celebrity once wore a year ago.

The Jocks (usually found on uni campuses) wearing their rugby shirts with the collars turned up elvis-syle with khaki shorts and flip flops (usually seen crossing the road to the corner-shop to get a six-pack).

The skater boys who come across as if all they care about in the whole world is their skateboard. Seen wearing anything loose and ironic.

Lastly, the I'm-studious-but-I-know-I'm-still-hot girls at uni with the designer specs, pristine jeans, trainers and the unmissable pastel coloured pashmina scarf brutally wrapped around the neck. (Sadly, guys can't pull this one off - they just end up looking like regular geeks).

This list is not exhaustive - I want your observed stereotypes...

Well, seeing as it was my question that started it all off, I thought id get in there and post the first reply! You dont by any chance happen to go to Loughborough Uni do you? I see those exact people every single day, almost exactly as youve described them! The onlt one I can think of to add at the moment is the wannabee 'Homies' who hang in their little 'possies', with bandanas, or huge baseball caps, and usually plenty of gold and american ice hockey shirts and the like. Not quite Ali G, but getting close! Is it coz I eez bleck?....................

Nope, not Loughborough - England's becoming pretty predictable!

ok, young blond (not natural) females. Pristine white trainers jogger bottoms done up just above the ankle, gut hanging over the waistband with a sceptic jewel in the belly button tight tee shirt with offensive or blatantly incorrect 'babe' slogan and a huge gold clown/horse hanging around their necks (24.99 argos). Invariably pushing pram whilst 'Smoking a faaaaag'. im going to hell arent I?

brilliant! :oD

And everyone on here is perfect then? none of us wear anything cliched or stereotypical? Is there really anyone out there who didn'y feel the peer group pressure and need to conform when they were at school? Oh well....just remember when your old they'll be the ones looking after you and who'll be laughing then?

[beenee]

No no stf, I'm verging dangerously on the studious-but-hot stereotype ;o) No need to get so unecessarily heated up about it.

Anyway, found another one: The 'really-sad' students who always tend to be slightly portly and wear super tight t-shirts with saggy jeans. If they're proud of it, they'll have a funny(?) one-liner on their tee.

Now we're all going to hell!
