Someone who is arrogant, cocky
A 'shunty' (plural= shunties) constantly quotes films
like American Pie and
TV shows
like Entourage/Sopranos/Californication to support their arguments. Or randomly include situations which were raised in these shows and relate them to real life happenings. (see example #2)
Also a bloody smart person, really cool and
funny. Shunties usually wear boat shoes/sandals with
tan colored shorts (tucked in collar shirts) and a hat. generally look way beyond their years. and mostly occur amongst the
male gender. (
female shunties are rare, but usually have cropped blonde hair with too much hair product)
*variant spelling accepted: shuntie, shunti (for those who feel the need to spell that badly) . sometimes shortened to "shunt", but the confusion that arises from using that word in these circumstances is uncanny.
