Red face The Word "Mint"...a Bit Chav ?

OK, flame suit on, is using the word "mint" to describe something that you like very much, a bit on the chav / common side

I think it is, and am probably being a bit snobbish, but I'm not bothered ;-)

Flame suit on.

Discuss.

To say something is in mint condition isn't necessarily chavvy.
All depends on contexts and the way it's said.
It would appear that you may be being a tiny little bit snobbish
All depends on what part of the country you're from too I suppose.

One thing for certain, saying 'innit' 'blud/bruv' etc. etc. is ultra-chav.

Oh FFS. I've only just started using "Mint" in that way.

Back to "Quite good" then

Mint = Not a chav word.

Chav = Not a word.

It's a colloquialism therefore most certainly not 'chavvy'.

You wouldn't hear me saying it. Sometimes I am a little lazy about how I speak, but the day I find myself saying "innit" is the day I shoot myself. Horrrrrrrrible.

mint
bling
tick
bliss
gleam(s)
gloss
floss
kriss
krisp (with a c sometimes)?
heavy
solid
money
fly
bangin
boom (pronounced 'buuum' in a brummy accent)
flex
locked
wicked
bad (sometimes joined up as badass)
chrome

Only few I have heard, personally I like to call everything sh*t like "that's the sh*t" and mostly "f*ck off it's sh*t you c*ock and I am not buying your sh*t" but I find simply saying f*ck all the time is theraputic, especially at work.

People who use such words makes me feel better about myself. It is good for my ego I look down upon such chavvy crowd. Similar to when I see poor spellers. That makes me feel more intelligent than them, even when I am just an average walkabout. It is a very "mint" feeling, really.
