Women/girls with a bun on top of their head. As vulgar as men with bald vs. bald/tattoed head!
What's wrong with buns?
Some men shave their heads bald because being bald feels nicer or they are losing most of their hair anyway. Being bald looks better than having a comb-over.
I don't like the term 'Trash' but I understand differentiating between behavior by someone that makes you want to keep your distance.
To me, the only issue is being a total slave to one's appetites and impulses in life. This covers a world of sins, from overeating to being really non-discriminatory in bed partners to being inconsiderate of others. If you can't manage to keep your id in check, then you are a person who cannot be wholly trusted to make wise decisions. In turn that means that you'll make life miserable for those around you.
Hell, I went to a funeral yesterday for a guy like that. Great guy in a whole host of ways. Loved to party. Had a diverse set of friends. Hey, if there was a party, Chuck was your guy. Too bad that, over the years, he could not control his urges and became a raging alcoholic until he died last week. In his wake he left a bitter ex-wife and two teenaged children who will cope with his selfish decisions for the rest of their lives.
heavily tattooed people that look like a comic book [looks very dumb]
especially ladies, makes you look like trash, the older they are the worse they look with those stupid tattooes, it no longer looks hip or fashionable, makes them look like a dirty bum
able bodied people on disability, seems like everybody is on some type of disability? even lazy fat people or former drug addicts use that as an excuse , for a disability [self made disabilty]
why so many people these days claim they are BI-POLAR? why not just say Retarded?
most homeless people are trash, they choose to live that way
I saw a homeless low life trash in a wheel chair with a sticker that said "product of the current economy or something like that? even if the economy was doing better I be that person would still be the same worthless bum claiming some type of disability, they were already a bum before the economy was bad
Human beings should not be characterized as "trashy." A little deeper compassion is called for here. People who one normally associates with being "trashy" are suffering from poor family support, poor education, poor diet, and just general bad luck. They're more to be pitied than looked down on, and those of us who enjoy looking down on people are usually the ones barely on the edge of that, ourselves, and the mechanics of this is that it makes us feel better about ourselves. Not a very admirable trait on our parts.
Probably the road to happiness is not to make a habit of looking down on others, but to devote yourself to some area such as promoting education, or making music, or doing science. In this way you both secure your own happiness and welfare, and contribute to the happiness of others.
But "trashy?" Someone who does not have any family support, or family are all pretty much unable to help them or provide good role models, and the person has no education. This is then reflected in their dress, language and attitudes. If the most important values in life are "kindliness and intelligence" (to quote Bertrand Russell), then these people who have perhaps never been shown much kindness, will be less able to show kindness to others; people who have not had the advantages of education and family support are less able to express themselves well, may be full of anger and resentment towards others who have had better luck in life, but are nevertheless people, who are doing the best they can under unfortunate circumstances.
Addendum:
Going back and reading the whole thread. Lots of great posts.
Oddly enough I dont consider the homeless trash. The ones here in Dayton seem to be pretty quiet w.o that arrogant I dont give a F attitude I ascribe to true PWT...and quite a few of the homeless seem to be 'off' in some way.
It's a lot easier to see someone as trash from a safe distance. I'm sure there were times in my life when people thought I was trash. I grew up poor, in an inner city neighborhood. I was very rough around the edges growing up and didn't always have the poise and self control to conduct myself in the most appropriate manner at all times. Most don't. But I never considered myself a bad person or garbage. I've known a lot of folks who most have written off as trash, but when you get to know them you discover they aren't bad people. Most of them didn't draw the winning parent lottery ticket, and ultimately received little to no guidance, as though raised by wolves.
While I don't like making excuses for the bad behavior of others, not everyone is dealt the same hand. The ones who I often think to myself as trash are the ones who choose to be ignorant or corrupt. The ones who choose to act like baboons and gibbons. The privileged white suburban guy who tries hard to act like an urban street thug, the race baiting activists and politicians who take advantage of and exploit their own race, the stodgy "old money" politicians who use the working class as pawns while making and breaking the same old promises, network executives who get rich by paying a pittance to watch the feeble and intellectually challenged get on television and exploit themselves like a circus act...and the list goes on.

@Coolhand: Language is so important (acquisition of, elegant use of). You may have grown up poor, but somehow you learned to use the language in an elegant way. No one with the consciousness and beautiful use of language you exhibit in your second paragraph could even remotely be considered trashy. Not a chance.
