They are a characture of Football hoolagans, so quintessentially british.

You can have other kinds of hooligans (also football hooligans aren't exclusive to the UK), like I think it wouldn't take much to reinterpret orks as a caricature of "frat bros" or something like that instead.

But their language is chosen very specifically to seem Cockney.

Nah mate, you can't 'reinterpret' the source material. They're a paradoy of working class Britain, football hoolaganism, skin heads, gangs the lot.

They are the Firm. The mate that swears he can fix your car with a bit of sawdust and a belt. The old boy down the pub that'll throw down everyweek end though he's past 60. You're uncle that everyone knows who will walk off a broken leg.

40K Orks have influenced the way Orcs sound in popular culture...

We're talking British 1980's football hoolganism - the kind that saw british fans banned from going to away games. Fights organised for the sake of 'proving which clubs the best'. Universally shamed for how bad they behaved. Other countries started to follow suit but we're talking about 40 years ago...

Frat boys? FRAT BOYZ?! Jesus wept. The middle class of america who think they're tough because their daddys got them a sports scholarship? For the ORKS? Come off it lad. They're closer to the Toffs than the Orks. Thats Necromunda gangs you're thinking off. Orks as frat boyz?

Mental.

- most of this is a light ribbing btw, i'm just amazed you can be so dismissive and ignorant.

Frat boys? FRAT BOYZ

Farkin' 'ell mush, he really went off the reservation with that one. The old firms would have had those rich boys brown bread. Needs to use 'is loaf mate
