The term "Trailer Trash" What (in your opinion) does it mean?

Answer 1

Just tune in to Jerry Springer to see Trailer Trash live and in color. It is a derogatory term which is used to describe mostly poor, working class white Americans. Only another stereotype, but the Springer guests perpetuate it. I think of a lazy, beer drinking guy in a tank top, watching a race on a plastic sofa while his wife smokes and yells at one of about five clueless kids for dropping out of school. Plastic flowers. A Confederate flag. Food stamps. A big wad of chew! Not fair, I know, and not a pretty picture. Bad teeth and mullets!!

Answer 2

it is a term used to stereotypically describe people who live in trailers. Mostly because the majority (not all by any stretch) of the trailer parks house lower income families, who often do not take pride in the appearence of their home.

Answer 3

Well besides it being a racial slur toward Caucasians, I think because trailers are so cheap, and disposable (they do not hold up in torturous weather), that is what makes them trash!!

Answer 4

That you live in a Mobile Home Park and that your yard is a mess and others say that you get around.

Answer 5

Another stereotypical term that those who have a limited vocabulary would use to downgrade another individual. Not a word I have in my vocabulary. God bless****

Answer 6

White people who are trashy, ignorant, or unsanitary. Just like when we call someone who is black, "ghetto" it means ignorant and trashy. (At least to me it does)

Answer 7

people on welfare, who barely have jobs but are sitting around watching jerry springer and Maury. meanwhile there are terrorist overseas who are waiting to attack us. why? because we dont know anything

Answer 8

white folk
