El Garrulo


So man number 2 currently is el garrulo (chav more or less in English).

They don't really have chavs as such in Spain but upon seeing him or observing his behaviour it is hihgly likely he would be classed as Garrulo.

Characteristics of garrulos

Boys

  • Gold Jewellery
  • Tattoos
  • Souped up Seat Ibiza that usually blares out "flamenquito" style music
  • A tendency to say "Que pasaaaaaa nen" (Neng is a TV garrulo who has this as his catchphrase)
  • A two-toned hairstyle (mullet optional)
Garrulo Girls
  • Gold Jewellery - even more than boys
  • Tatoos
  • Boyfriends with souped up (tuned in Spanish) Seat Ibizas
  • Scraped Back Ponytail
  • Extremely tight, low cut trousers regardless of body shape or size
  • Tight, short zip up tops regardless of body shape and size
What are you doing with a Garrulo? I hear you cry. Well, for some peculiar reason I find myself strangely attracted to them, Mr C was also a bit of a Garrulo and although he does not fulfil all of the requirements he fills enough for me to stereotype him in this way.

  • Gold Jewellery - Not necessarily gold but does own a variety of chains and bracelets.
  • Tatoos - Hell Yes. A huge panther entwined with a woman accross his back.
  • Souped up car - not so much. Flamenquito music - all the way
  • Que pasa nen? and other garrulo vocabulary
Well, love is blind or so they say, although I do wish to point out that I am not in love.. We bonded over our fellow passion for a flamenquito artist who I though no-one had heard of. I was wrong. Anyway don't have much time so more on this soon!

PS: Photo shows typical garrulo, not the garrulo.
