obviously chappy has a different connotation (slang meaning for the orthodoxy resumed in dictionary, i.e. bow-tie synonyousness) in English language, etymology to no other borrowed word from South African... chappy just means a pigeon-walk of groove when listening to Brit-Pop, or cheeky post-punk, a bit like imagining a bowler hat on your head while walking down Oxford St., so that's that chappy; pigeons are naturally gifted in head-banging; you're a chappy if you donned Ben Sherman shirts without a belt, wearing jeans, styled on an Oasis hit single... premature Quadrophenia attainment to fit it... that how i define a chappy... the zenith of Brit Pop, Ben Sherman shirts loose over the waistline of jeans and sport sneakers, and an Oasis single as the baseline for the heart to thump bu boom... a real life chappy was this kid in primary school, Tom... the exactness of what later became a metrosexual... prior to that they were called chappies, Ben Sherman shirts not tucked into a stiff pair of jeans... you never could imagine an Englishman so under-dressed, he must have come from Manchester as was the obvious answer back then.
