Members of this movement wear a green polo shirt with the collar up, indicating that they are open to pretty much any sexual adventure. When someone comes up to them and puts the collar down, they are "collared" and will go with that person and do whatever sexual act they ask. Transfer of money is not usually involved. Some parent groups are starting to get involved - urging parents to go through their kids clothes and confiscate green shirts and polos. Supposedly this has been going on since mid-2004 and may be related to the "chavs" in Britain somehow. tag:metafilter.com,2005:site.43232 Sat, 02 Jul 2005 19:56:19 -0800 chavs greenlight sex students trends Maxor http://www.metafilter.com/31323/Chavs%2DNeds%2DTownies%2DKevs%2DCharvers%2DSteeks%2DSpides%2DBazzas%2DYarcos%2DRatboys%2DKappa%2DSlappers%2DSkangers%2DJanners%2DStigs%2DScallies <a href="http://www.chavscum.co.uk">ChavScum</a> "A humorous guide to Britain's burgeoning peasant underclass" is a website devoted to a particular "style" of a section of british society (similar to the US "Trailer Trash").
