Are you or your house “cheugy”?

[Colin_P]

Back in my day, the word of choice for such matters was "naff". An all powerful, all encompassing word that has a myriad of meanings and works in virtually all contexts.

Using the word cheugy is naff.

In an asylum

These are some of the room's in our House, I doubt they live up to modern standards but it's how we like it.

You have the same wally dugs as I have and only slightly more pictures.

There is a disease in this country at least, maybe it's an American thing too, to label, to criticise, to judge others, it's all very negative.
Told this before but I realised in my 40s perhaps,i said to my dad...'y'know, it seems like everyone spends all their time criticising everyone else in this country, everyone's got to have something to say about something'
My dad instantly responded...
'The British were always that way, you just never realised it'

One of the less desirable aspects of Britishness perhaps...(and I dont buy into this 'all Britishness must be despised' touted by some)

Gbb, the British do not have the dibs on this type of behavior, as you alluded to, it is rampant on this side of the pond as well. Perhaps the disease is making its way around the globe. What you said to your dad when you were younger was a spot-on observation.

Cycleops, I'll have to check out the cheugy video. The concept seems quite spot on for current times. Perhaps there has always been something like it, but never so highlighted as we see through social media today.

My kitchen would probably be regarded as "cheugy", but it serves it's purpose just fine. I have no need for an island in the middle of the floor with extra drawers/cupboards and another sink! Anyway, give it another 10 years and for "cheugy" read "retro" and therefore trendy. I'm still waiting for that to happen for my good 80's black leather jacket, which is hanging up in a wardrobe.

Yep, Brandane, what goes around, comes around!
