Surrey Boy

A term often used by students and those in university environments to describe young lads from obviously privileged middle and upper class upbringings who pretend to act like roadman because they think it's cool. Though originally used to describe students who behaved in such a way from well-off towns in Surrey, such as Guildford and Epsom, the term has since broadened to include almost anybody who acts in such a manner from rural counties known for their higher standards of living, such as Worcestershire, Cheshire and several others.

Surrey Boys are easily recognised from their dress senses, usually donning Stone Island jumpers, Nike 110 trainers and various other branded goods likely bought from JD using money from mummy and daddy's trustfund. They are also easily recognised by their speech, often talking in fake urban accents (usually London sounding ones practiced for hours on end in their bedrooms), throwing in incredibly forced amounts of slang as they do so.

In larger groups, Surrey Boys will tend to talk the hardest or about how much 'pussy' they get, yet when faced with actual threat or placed on their own, will brick it and and pray that their family butler Jeremy comes running to their aid.

Most other students, especially those from truly working class and rougher urban environments, easily see through the acts of Surrey Boys, and simply see them as a source of mockery, similar in act and appearance to Sacha Baron Cohen's famous character 'Ali G'.

I've been at uni here in Liverpool for six months and already ran into dozens of Surrey Boys. Should've figured, it being Russell Group and all...

A term used to refer to a good hearted, stubborn, but friendly person with an incredibly unhealthy interest in Rooster Teeth and cosplaying.

Every friendship group needs a Joe Frankham.
