Lower Class Lout: Difference between revisions

* Typically carry around knives or guns as per their countries' weapons control laws (in the sense of how readily available this makes said weapons, don't expect them to obey the law at all).

* Female examples are typically [[The Ladette]] and prone to underage pregnancy.

* Speaking in a rough accent peppered with [[Pretty Fly for A White Guy|"urban" colloquialisms]] even ''[[Vanilla Ice]]'' would mock them for.

* Driving around in a modified car ([[Rice Burner|with mostly cosmetic upgrades]]) with an obnoxiously loud speaker system and poor regard for the rules of the road.

Younger examples are almost always [[The Bully]]. Because of the class-based origins of the stereotype expect the moral of any story they appear in to lean towards [[Eat the Rich]] or [[Kill the Poor]]. Contrast the [[Upperclass Twit]] and [[Aristocrats Are Evil]] (for when the rich are villified) and [[Working Class Hero]]. See also: [[Football Hooligans]], [[Delinquents]].

* As do [[Kath and Kim]].

* Onslow, Hyacinth's brother-in-law on ''[[Keeping Up Appearances]]''. Obviously, Hyacinth is [[Sarcasm Mode|thrilled]]. However, while shabby and slovenly, Onslow is friendly and benign--and [[Hidden Depths|actually]] [[Brilliant but Lazy|really smart]]--and deliberately makes a favourable contrast with the snobbish Hyacinth.
