'sheffield lass'

[fizzydrink 10]

lol, me backing off? Are we fighting then? if you can find a thread in which I've started off by insulting people based only on a stereotype of their gender, please show it to me. It never occurs to me to begin a discussion by throwing insults around, but when I see happen, I feel compelled to respond.

 

Do you actually support those two posts? If so, prepare to be disagreed with. You could try answering the question but if you feel that drink is impairing your reasoning faculties, we can always continue when you've sobered up.

 

Queen of spin and of course the mandatory lol. Pathetic.

I have summat to say on the subject......but will come back tomorrow once the bickering has stopped. That's assuming the thread is still open by then.

Happy bickering!

So you have no answers then? Just going to continue on your chosen course of discussing a poster and not the topic? OK.

 

Back on topic, I suppose it could get a little wearing if used constantly, and it is probably a bit old fashioned these days, but setting fire to your own head as a response does seem a little extreme?

*That is human.

 

Female magpies and pigeons are birds.

 

A Sheffield lass might also be know as a bird though, to confuse things further

 

I certainly would rather be called a Sheffield lass, then a Sheffield bird.

I'm not the one generalising and making all the nasty remarks? Or do you go along with andy_parkin and addylewis? In which case, I'll lump you in with them.

 

Hey, I'm just reporting what I see when I go out - it ain't my fault Sheffields female citizens are generally on their knees (literally...) with no clothes on in 3 degrees celcius shouting at each other being noisy chavs...if you actually FIND a "Sheffield lass" with ANY form of "class" it's a VERY rare thing, thats all I'm saying!

 

Wake up and smell the coffee...town has become a no-go (or "GTFO as fast as you can" area...) after 9 - shame, because even if you DO find somewhere worth going to on a friday or saturday anyway it'll probably be overrun with drunk/noisy chavs with tattoos, strange piercings and HUGE bottoms spending their giro on the weekly ****-up making you wish you'd not bothered...

But you're still generalising, can't you see that? What about all the lovely 'Sheffield lasses' who aren't down town drunk and shouting. And I find it hard to believe they're actually naked as well. I know lots of pretty girls, with style and charisma, but everyone's entitled to let their hair down now and then.

 

And, if you weren't being sexist, wouldn't you agree that most of the men who are hanging around town are just the same? With the possible exception that it's more likely to be their guts than their arses that are HUGE? Maybe you're just hanging around in the wrong places to find the sort of girl you prefer?

I think you'll find the term our lass has been around as long as I have, just to my knowledge, 54 years, the term chav is a relatively new one that only seems to have sprung up in last few years.

 

The term "our lass" is a term of endearment, same as a woman would say "our old fella/man", so your reasoning is at best flawed sorry.

 

Still hate it no matter how long its been around. I certainly never heard my Dad say "our lass" when referring to my mum! I wouldnt dream of saying our old fella/man when speaking about my partner just say his name!

That said, there is still a lot of chavvy slappers in town who dont seem to have any dignity at all. And just so you know im not being sexist, I think there are some really pretty women who do look great without being a bit tarty.

Addylewis has a valid point. How often do you mix in his social circle and how often does he mix in yours, apart from the odd s/f meeting you seem to have no idea of what really goes on in town at night now. These lasses as you call them would probably tear you to pieces like a pit bull, and yet you advocate for a generation you seem to have no idea about. The Greer world you came from has long past. You seem to be like a lost dinosaur looking for a cause. Reading this thread you will have to have the last word like the majority of neurotics, so enjoy lol.

In my experience Yorkshire people like to celebrate their provincialism and insular nature in the belief it somehow makes them better or different from the rest of the country. I mean Yorkshire Day. wtf is that about?

 

It's all quite quaint really but not my thing tbh

[laineyiow 10]

When anyone asks me where my accent hails from, I always say, "Sheffield, I'm a Sheffield Lass"............

 

Same here Joan - I'm a "Sheffield Lass" and proud to be so!!!

191 -posts you have made since 2003??? really??? That almost would appear to be someone with a secret "second account/name" that only needs to be used to wind someone up??

 

Anyway, you have some valid points and then also a load of rubbish.

 

Sheffield is a very large city, and so will always have its fair share of men and women, of all ages, who fall into the minority of what people these days call "chavs". But on the other hand, we have a huge majority of decent, nice, law abiding citizens, who don't appear to be anything like the people you describe.

 

Manchester has the same mix, so does Leeds, so does Newcastle.

 

Now run along and stop trying to wind up certain people on here, which seems obvious to the rest of us.
