Chozzie
From ARRSEpedia
The Australian version of the Chav.
A chozzie is the modern "yoof". Typically talks a lot of "bling bling" and wears a lot of cheap gold dog chains.
A definite smoker (after pinching the money off his gran) and loves to drink cheap cider. Gets totally mystified when his chavette (girlfriend) gets up the duff as he has no concept of life in general. Immune to responsibility and being an effective member of any community. Completely polarised within his own Chozzie clan as he cannot connect with normal people or society due to having conversation skills redolent of a Tourette's Syndrome sufferer.
Sometimes also referred to as a 'lad', the Australian Chav can generally be recognised as belonging to one of three distinct variety of haircut: 1: The "Half a Haircut" - bastard cousin to the short back and sides, the 'Half a Haircut' generally consists of a close cropped or razor shaved back and side of the head, combined with an exceptionally long, greased back patch of hair on top of the head. Ugly. 2: The "Rat Tail" - an otherwise normal, albeit it greasy hair cut, complimented by a long, thin ponytail protruding from the base of the skull. Pig Ugly. 3: The 'Mullet - an old Aussie standard of "business up the front, party out the back' taken to extremes: will often be characterised by the head being shaved, except for the back of the head, which will be grown to a nauseating, greasy length. Avoid.
