Council Edit Meaning

1.

Derogatory term used to describe people of low social-class. It's very similar to the term Chav. Also used to describe something that looks cheap or tacky.

It's based on the fact that poor people would tend to live in subsidised housing in the UK known as a council estate. Council estates have improved a great deal in the past 10-20 years but some are still suffering from anti-social behavour brought about by Chav and Urbanwannabee behaviour by kids and young adults who are simply bored and lacking identity or a sense of community.

John: Oh my! How much gold does she think she can fit around her neck?

Steve: Mr T could pull it off but she's just council.

See chav, tacky, bling, council estate

2.

Adj. suggests a shitty, cheap substitute. Used before the thing you actually want but can't have.

Eg. Council toothpaste = Water

Council pop = Water

Council boyfriend = One night stand

Council flat = a council flat

Eve: Shit, you look rough!! How did you get home last night after the club??
