Talk:Essex man

message: What is the origin of the phrase "Essex Man"? I seem to recall it being coined in a feature article in the Daily Telegraph, possibly in advance of the 1992 election. Not that I read the Torygraph, but it became a buzzword very quickly. --rbrwrˆ 18:52, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin

message: the term 'essex man' is virtually un-used in modern english slang. The term 'essex boy' is far more common and has a different meaning to what the article suggests. For example the typical 'essex boy' has no interest in politics unlike this article suggests. It also misses out some crucial aspects of the 'essex boy' stereotype. For example the infamous love of fast cars and the 'boy racer' image, also the stereotypical view of being cheeky, being a 'ladies man', excessive drinking and drunken violence. There also needs to be a section explaining that this is an unfortunate stereotype and in most cases is simply an untrue portrayal of a county that currently has the lowest crime rate in the UK.
To conclude: the name of the article must be changed and most of its content. OR a new article must be written under the hedding 'essex boy'.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Jayjay1 (talk • contribs) 10:48, July 22, 2006.
:The article should be retained as it was definitely used in the media with the meaning ascribed to it here in this article. "Essex boy", I agree, has a separate meaning and they are two different terms, so perhaps a separate article would be best.--Johnbull 13:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Essex boy description in the first comment is typical of underclass people, and I don't think there is much difference between underclass young men in Essex compared to those in other parts of England. Essex varies a great deal, from large towns to countryside and from poor, underclass-dominated council estates to wealthy suburbs. Its crime rate is significantly lower than average, but not the lowest. Dyfed-Powys has the lowest crime rate in the UK. Jim Michael (talk) 00:13, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Essex boy

message: The opening paragraph of this article says:
:Essex man is a political term and stereotype popular in the United Kingdom. The term came to prominence during the 1990s to explain, in part, the electoral successes of Margaret Thatcher in the previous decade. The term went on to have wider cultural significance and become the subject of parody.
But what does "Essex man" actually mean? Tim Pierce (talk) 15:27, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does it mean? 

message: The section on Blair's Sedgefield anecdote doesn't even hint at the much more obvious reason why the car analogy is preferable for a national party political campaign: Sedgefield and Essex are approximately 240 miles apart. To put the shoe on the other foot, does anyone think an Essex resident would care a hoot about a political campaign by Blair centred around "Sedgefield man" or "County Durham man"? 31.185.45.187 (talk) 20:37, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:SUMO class

message: Considering not even a fraction of the topics on this list are encyclopedic, and many of the linked articles are irrelevent to the category referred to in the SUMO class, I think the links should be completely removed. Is there any objection to this? Derrick Coetzee 22:07, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: disagree. the fraction is about 1/3; and if the concept doesn't link to an encyclopedic article, it should link to a dictionary definition, or to a category. if you unlink this stuff, next someone will list it on VfD as being just a list of words. Waveguy 01:31, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Frankly, this is pretty much just a list of words — the article needs a lot more real content to explain what they are, how they're used, and how they were chosen. In my opinion an irrelevent link is considerably worse than no link at all, because it's misleading (takes users to an article on an unrelated topic). Cross-linking them all to Wiktionary isn't a bad idea, though. I don't object to people linking some of these words in a relevent way, but I think the opposite approach of linking them all and then removing some that are bad will still leave some bad links in.

Many of the links point to disambiguation pages, or (worse) to pages that redirect to disambiguation pages. This is not helpful to readers, which is rather unencyclopedic. Linking is supposed to be informative; I'd suggest removing any link that doesn't take the reader to information that's relevant to what is being said.

There is, for the record, extensive speculation about Nelligan's sexuality in contemporary literary criticism; however, it cannot be definitively proven as there is virtually no evidence in any published biographies as to whether he ever actually had a sexual or romantic relationship with anyone. Accordingly, it's appropriate for the article to briefly mention the debate over his sexuality, but not at this time for him to be categorized as gay. Bearcat (talk) 20:39, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

°In the 'Songs' section, "Nunca me he sacado un siete" (From Season 2) is supposed to mean "I've never got an A" , because in Chile a numeric rating is used in schools - 1 for Bad and 7 for Perfect - ; so the title tranlates as "I've never got a seven", and 7 is the highest grade.
