What's exactly an Eurotrash?

The answer is only a mirror away.

A fabulous European sex themed talk/variety show featuring Lolo Ferrari and Jean-Paul Gaultier that should've never went off the air.

A Eurotrash? OP types a university-less stupid.

Eurotrash is a term that refers to European expatriates, particularly in New York, who assume a class station higher than they would enjoy back home - invented titles, non-existent accents - and crash social events. They're infamous for never tipping, chain-smoking, drug use, treating staff and people in general like shit, not paying their bar bills and getting cunty when challenged.

The women tend to smell like something crawled into a bottle of Chanel and died; the men look like lizards and tell the women how "Bee-yoo-tee-full" they are. Usually there is chest hair and spilled cocaine. Expect suitcase complexions, withered cleavage, large fake jewels, bogus Rolexes and Brendad Ickson hair dimensions. It is always 1985 in Eurotrashland.

Although she is at least technically American, Emma Snowden-Jones is a pretty good example of what most people associate with Eurotrash.

Eurotrash were Europeans who travelled and lived (maybe even worked) in the USA and were fun-seeking hedonists. The had low morality - they enjoyed sex and drugs and flashy lifestyles. They might lave looked and acted trashy, by bedrock, conservative American tastes. They could also be seen as enviably glamorous - but superficial. They could be snobbish and arrogant - or not. America and Americans were playthings to them. They might have nefarious (e.g. "trashy") sources of income for their "trashy" fun and games. An associated term that didn't catch on was "euroflash".

Amalita from one episode of SATC epitomized Eurotrash.

Some helpful tips, OP:

1. With "Eurotrash" the indefinite article would be "a," not "an," because "Eurotrash" begins with a consonant. I know it doesn't look that way, but English orthography is a bit eccentric. But in any case, "Eurotrash" is a collective noun and shouldn't have an indefinite article.

2. The verb "explain" does not take the indirect object pronoun. Always use "to" with the pronoun, as in "explain TO me, please" (not also the comma).

Often Eurotrash have titles that do not actually connect to anything tangible. They sound important but are not. You see this a lot with Germans or Greeks, who no longer have monarchies. Still, there will be random princes running around. Or think Meghan Markle and Prince Harry now that they've left the British Royal Family. They may be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but the titles are empty air.

Ohh get off it OP. As an american, I’m just as appalled by euro trash as I am the cast of the Jersey Shore - though I’d fuck half of the jersey shore cast, but I won’t be fucking an unwashed ash tray.

R4 and R5 offer reasonable definitions, but it is a word, like Hipster in the U.S., or Posh in the U.K., or Pijo In Spain, that has am many meanings as the number if people you ask.

In the U.S. I would say they young or middle-aged Europeans (rarely older, louche swinger sorts, a few notches down from a Nicky Haslam, but with stories, stories). They move about a fair bit, their gap year often extending into a gap decade,or two. They are better looking than their American social or business peers, or think they are. They dress a but as if going to someplace fancier and more festive than where they are now: tits out, a stunningly short skirt, crazy leggings; the man have slightly eccentric hair, it changes all the time, and they might have a watch, a good one, and a button down shirt buttoned a bit farther down than customary, or all the way up, you will see his chest hair if not straightaway thaen at some point in the evening. They know the currency of an accent and a seemingly quirky phrase and vocabulary. They smoke and drink rather a lot, and if some adjacent someone should pull out some cocaine or pills they will have made a new fast friend for the length of time the supply holds out. They don't mind if you want to buy a round of drinks. They drop names but especially place names, giving the impression that they are always, always in movement: they were just in Milan (which they hate because it is so fake) and Rome and Marbella and in London to see a screening at that Kit Kemp hotel, and to hear a DJ friend play in the lobby of the Lydmar in Stockholm (in fact they did all of these but the time line is far more elongated than they would have you believe). They speak fast and breathlessly, they have so much to say. They take jobs because of their accents, or because their father knows that other Newhouse guy, you know, Condé Nast...or so Americans complain. They get invited everywhere or just show up it seems; they have uncanny radar for invitations and showing up and for being whisked away by their new friends to someplace where they will make yet more new friends. They worked in advertising, for a fancy antique dealer, for an art gallery friend, as a freelancer for Google. They love artists, they are artists, well, sort of, they will show you 1000 images from their IG feed. Where do we go after this? Did I tell you I'm going to Barcelona? Yeah, a friend is opening a restaurant in Girona and then we're going to Palermo to see another friend.

Example, I have a lovely friend with a touch of it. Rich, Czech. We are going to drinks in conservative DC and I help her dress in a Vineyard vines dress with Jack Rogers, standard summer uniform for girls’ her age. She frowns and walks into her closet and emerges with a gold lamé jacket, very pleased with the improvement.

She eurotrashed it.

Huh? How can someone not afford social security?

That’s because that’s the last time you could pull the wool over people’s eyes like that without them double-checking the Internet to prove you a liar.

We have a lot of what I call Eurotrash in my neighborhood. Generally, they're East European immigrants who have come to this country just for the money. Flashy clothes and cars, very inconsiderate of other people in the neighborhood, work off of the books, don't pay any taxes and act like they're better than anyone else. You can often find them at the Rosemont Outlet Mall, trying to shoplift from Saks and Neiman Marcus. They are a disgrace to the hard working immigrants we get from East Europe who are here to build a life. It's not a matter of Americans feeling superior to these people, but rather a reaction of disgust to their crass materialsim and poor manners.

Aren't they just Europeans who act like Americans?

Actually no, not in this middle class neighborhood. People tend to drive minivans rather than $100,000 BMWs or Mercedes.

This what many British women look like, Eurotrash for sure, it fits with the inbred thing.

Women like that are chavs, R17, not Eurotrash. "Eurotrash" conveys wealth and privilege that used to be combined with a desperate attempt to keep up with a world that left you behind before you were born.

Typical Eurotrash British woman, inbred for sure.

That's not Eurotrash, R19.

This. Our trash can be even trashier than your trash.

A chav is a woman who lives entirely on fast food and dresses entirely in fast fashion. She lives in a council flat with her mum and gran, all of whom are on assistance. She was raised on boy bands, the Spice Girls, and Britney Spears, and believes [italic]Friends[/italic] accurately reflects American culture. She has never voted in an election. She has the body composition of a Teletubby and the emotional intelligence of one. She will end up having five children by a man who will refuse to marry her.

R7 Ain't nobody learning a foreign language knowed what you talked about there and you'll never be down with the provincial people will ya?

Sometimes ignorance is wisdom and wisdom is ignorance.

R20 no it's not it's Britrash!

I feel like there’s no real way to explain. You know when you hear it and definitely know when you see it. Vancouver is full of them.

R19 that’s no eurotrash R10 get a fucking blog.

R26 that's the average British woman.

Eurotrash are rich, gauche people from Europe, R27, not their version of trailer trash.

Diane von Furstenberg-Diller, royal division.

There was a cafe that opened on a trendy street in Boston in the 1990s. It was associated with Versace or some designer. The outdoor tables were full of them. Now that I think of it, I bet they were paid to patronize the place. The cafe closed in a few years.

I would define them as garishly dressed, somewhat vulgar continental Europeans in their twenties living in large American cities, who because they come from money and somewhere in Europe consider themselves superior to Americans.

Non-royal, non-aristocratic wealthy Europeans

Second cousins to bridge and tunnel crowd but with more money

So like a random wealthy american, but just well-dressed?

What's the problem with designer clothes or busy social life?

Like you were nice or something, american and british tourists here in Spain, are the very worst

No one's playing, OP...

All non Anglo-Saxons is the answer you're seeking.

[quote] R30: It was associated with Versace or some designer.

It was an Armani store and cafe.

[R35], Eurotrash are not well dressed. They look like fools.

Wealthy, non-aristocratic Europeans can be perfectly charming people. The word "Eurotrash" is used to describe the ones that aren't.

I will say that they are far less a thing in New York than they used to be. I don;t think they can afford it anymore.

R28 What makes you the authority?

R40 because he is correct, and the ignoramuses on this thread and the OP are riotously stupid in their misunderstanding of the term?

Melania Trump

Flashy, garish lifestyles with no visible means of support.

Flashy and tacky. V neck shirts.

Yes v neck shirt and they come from Europe and are trashy.
