Carden

Cardens are from ghetto bloodlines. Any girl in the Carden family is one everyone loves but is prone to be a hit with the lads, taking advantage of her looks and outgoing personality. Despite this, can normally be trusted with anything..a loyal cocktease for sure.

Male Carden's are equally enticing; normally an allrounder, a male Carden will have the annoying 'i know everything' flare, will attract 'it' girls and often get pretty lucky.

Generally lovely people.
I know everything LOL jk I'm not a Carden

Cardenesque

Clumsy, shortsighted approach to all aspects of life. Examples of cardenesque behaviour may involved awkwardness in social situations, such as offering strangers small drinks or taking great offence at inanimate objects' presence.

Cardenesque behaviour is often associated with alcoholism, followed by an almost schizophrenic style of conversation where deep-rooted insults are followed immediately by profuse apologies and public displays of affection.

The results of sustained periods of such behaviour can be as minor as creating and repeatedly singing a personal theme-tune to far more sinister acts resulting in defecation or serious personal injury.
