alternative

supposedly different to the 'norm'. A term also used to describe categories which society has placed us. Usually goths, moshers who reckon everyones out to get them call themselves alternatives, because theyre the same as everyone else.

alternachav

The large 'dignified' group that fit in between the alternative groups such as punk, emo and indie, and the chav groups. Alteranchavs are easily identified by their high street clothes (New Look, Topman and River Island) and the fact that they always sit near the chavs at school, in hope of being 'promoted'. This is not to say that they know they want to be chavs, it is all a deep psychological need. If you need to identify an alternachav in a hurry, just ask them who The Shins are. Or shout out 'The chavs need a new cronie!' at the top of your voice.

Emo: Hey, heard The Shins new album?
Alternachav: Yeah, totally.
Emo: Ha! They don't have a new album!
Alternachav: LikeshutupIdontknownuffinaboutnuffin

alteacher

alteacher, or alt-teacher, (or even alternative teacher) is a teacher who teaches using somewhat odd, original or indeed "alternative" methods, or even just holds views that could be defined as those things. They characteristically look for subtleties other teachers wouldn't think of. Often enjoy abstract work, making it easy to exploit them by doing rubbish work and claiming it has inner meaning.

"Did you do the art homework?" "Nah, I just drew a spiral and'll say it represents the world, me and my life in one simple gesture. Our teachers a total alteacher"
