Trashbags...
A friend of mine (aka Bo) send me this in an email, though I have no idea why she thought of me :)It's a pretty good list, I could probably think of a few more, and for me a true trashbag would participate in way more than 5 of them. Anyway, enjoy!
A trashbag is an Australian invented word, but a global concept. A trashbag is one who engages in excessive behaviour while partying, and generally makes a disgrace of themselves - in a good way. True trashbagging doesn't involve just alcohol. It is a way of life. On a night out, a Trashbag should participate in at least 5 of the following:
- Drinking at least a bottle of wine or champagne BEFORE leaving the house.
- Downing more than 10 jagerbombs.
- Eating in at least three of the major fast food outlets in the course of one evening.
- Starting up deep conversations with randoms while waiting in the toilet queue.
- Dancing on any available table, not discriminating against pool tables of course.
- Requesting so many songs that the music is like your own play list, and the dj hates you.
- Screaming I LOVE THIS SONG for every song.
- Having the bouncers, bar staff and dj all know you at your local.
- Putting your bags on the floor and dancing around them so you have more movement.
- Inventing new dance moves, such as the moose, the elephant.
- Bringing out old dance moves such as the monkey, the nut bush or the sprinkler.
- Clearing the dance floor and getting strange looks from everyone that's not you.
- Taking a hip flask of vodka in your handbag or jacket.
- Writing things on yourself and everyone around you.
- Telling random people that they're hot. And more importantly, that you are.
- Drinking Smirnoff blacks because they have 1.9 standard drinks, or Coopers Sparkling, cause it is 5.9% alcohol.
- Taking at least 60 photos of yourself.
- Taking photos of yourself and your friends on the toilet.
- Sucking face with a random on the dance floor. And then another. And another. And, well, you get the picture...
- Starting drinking at 3pm or earlier.
- Continuing till the next afternoon.
- Wearing a skirt so short you need to wear shorts (or special undies) underneath.
- Staying somewhere till you get kicked out, then catching a cab to somewhere else that's 5mins down the road.
- Walking out of a club and the sun is up, the birds are chirping, and noticing that the person you've been suck facing is not as attractive as you thought.
- Being that person on their way home as people are jogging, and going to work/school.
- Doing the walk of shame, either home or out of the club, with shoes in hand.
- Choosing a corner to dance in so you can dance like mo fos in your own privacy.
- Crying/stacking it/booting/all three.
- Sustaining an unidentified party injury.
- Making emotional phone calls to friends you haven't spoken to in a while. Or worse, family.
- Getting into serious conversations with cab drivers that end with you mocking and insulting them.
- Pre-drinks before going out is not an idea, it is a necessity.
