A \"beauf\" will typically be prompt to jump to conclusions and have strong views on complex social issues, based on an insufficient analysis of the facts, but presented as being plain common sense.French cartoonist Cabu was responsible for popularising the term, which is an abbreviation of \"beau-frère\" (brother-in-law) by creating a cartoon character of that name in Charlie Hebdo in the late 1960s. Singer Renaud also released a song titled \"Mon Beauf\" in 1981. Cabu updated the character later in Le Canard Enchainé under the title \"Les nouveaux beaufs\". The new version is a more urban and trendy version, with a ponytail instead of a bushy moustache. Nouveaux beaufs drive four-by-fours/SUVs, and are fans of plastic surgery.Another canonical representation of the word beauf can be found in Renaud's songs (see Mon Beauf). The canonical 1970s beauf by Cabu wore a moustache, but the newer versions wear a \"cool\" ponytail. Another classical example is the cliché army non-commissioned officer: uneducated, vulgar, brutal, and nostalgic about the colonial wars.The word \"beauf\" usually corresponds to a right wing-leaning, politically incorrect, working class/lower middle class male individual driven by basic instincts and reasoning. Thought to very much enjoy French diesel cars, ATV and Motorbike riding, girls, having a drink with his male friends, and having strong views on how his preferred soccer team or national soccer team should play. Australians call them bogans; English may call them chavs; and Americans may call them rednecks, or hicks. Essentially the same concept of an unsophisticated, vulgar and politically incorrect white male individual. Alcohol is also a major part of the Beauf's environment as Beaufs are usually thought to be regular heavy drinkers of beers, hard liquors, and cheap wines.Under the French concept, Beauf implies some bad taste, perhaps some campness, or simply not elitist enough. Most consider the garden gnome to be beauf, as well as wearing mustaches or beards, drinking beer, wearing bucket hats, being a soccer fan or wearing sports outfits whilst observing/attending a sports game.The nouveau beauf (new beauf) is a more urban and trendy version. Nouveaux beaufs drive four-by-fours/SUVs, are adept of plastic surgery.A corresponding term in Québec French is colon."@en }
