Noun: An attractive male who bears the hallmarks of being dragged up on a sink estate. These traits include, though are not exclusive to: knock-off Addidas jogging bottoms; no top (in summer); a
hoodie (in winter); a baseball
cap (no matter what the season); a toned physique; an overabundance of natural pheromones; a distinctive walk in which he tries to communicate that he is 'proper
hard" and "well fit".
Often, a decent bit of council trouser will stroll around town aimlessly, bearing his tattoos and showing off his
gym-toned body to passing chavettes, who, like him, have a great deal of
time on their hands between collecting their dole and queueing for cheap cider at Aldi.
Trouser, in this context, is a synecdoche used as a male equivalent of the pejorative"skirt", used chiefly in
Britain to describe any attractive young
female.
Council trouser spotting is a fun office-based game, in which colleagues gaze out the window on a sunny
day and rate the passing state-subsidised man-talent as it parades its prone body down the street.
