Default Classist underdogs: Freddie

People who comment on Freddie as being a toff are just judging and discriminating against his English accent. It is inverted snobbery. His attitude, on the other hand, is far from snobbish.

Interestingly, Angel commented that she liked listening to his beautiful speech, rather than the ubiquitous "y'know/y'know whatahmean/y'know what i'm sayin/do you get me" etc etc etc. Someone here said earlier that the word chav is over-used. I agree, as are the above. Funnier still, sometimes as you will have observed in the BB house, hms are desperately trying to form a sentence, but all they can think of saying repeatedly is "d'you get me, because er... you know what i mean, you get me?"

YES!!!! We get you. Now what are you trying to say???
