teddyboy

Particular strain of British youth culture of the 1950s, adopting a look that combined Saville Row elegance with American-influenced street-hood style. The Teddyboy, or Ted, listened to rock 'n' roll music, smoked cigarettes, and generally posed as a tough. There are still a few Teddyboys around, particularly in places such as Germany and Japan.

Long black jacket with a velvet collar
I`m a real cool Ted, I`m a crazy fella
Drainpipe trousers, crepe sole shoes
Ringlet stockings, boppin` the Blues
Are you ready to rock
It`s the Teddyboy Bop

(song lyrics by Foggy Mountain Rockers)

Teddyboy

Teddyboy are guys who are super beefy and big but kinda ditzy. They are kinda just going with the flow of life and are super huggable and sweet. They are also very respectful and protective over people they care about. Although they are super sweet they are also really scary and intimidating when they want to be.

I love them so much and I need one right now.

T: You know Tyler, the quaterback, he scares me.
J: Oh Tyler? He's a total teddyboy
