Javed Miandad

Amit Verma in yet another hat-tip to the debonair, dashing Vir Sanghvi and his thoughts suggests that if you want to really insult a badly-behaved townie the worst thing you can call him is a 'villager'. That is so sad. Why give the poor villagers a bad name? In my experience, villagers are a far more compassionate, civilised and generous class than most townies I have come across. Instead, I propose we try and shame the noveau riche by calling them 'Javed Miandad'. Ouch!
