        What British people call you if you tend to say stupid stuff, you also must joke around a lot or prank people to be called Cheeky.

              It is a concept from the UK not particularly shared by the US. Its basically sly and [artful] disrespect. Oscar Wilde, John Lennon, [Jarvis Cocker] , [Noel Fielding], and [Morrissey] all come to mind with respect to being cheeky. Having lived in England, I recognize this as a particularly British cultural phenomenon. There are always those in pop culture in the UK who aspire to be seen as quick-witted and cheeky. Its their way of sticking it to the man with a nudge and a wink. Being an American, I really dont see anything in the US that has quite the same tone. Sure there are plenty of smart humorists in the US, but they dont traffic in cheek quite like the Brits do. I think American humorists are more direct somehow. Cheek is done with a sly look in the eye because you know youre trying to [get one over on] the man, and the smile says that you know, and they (the man) know too, but youre allowed to get away with it anyway. Its very subtle. Im guessing it has something to do with the more entrenched class system in the UK vs the US. Most Americans feel as if they are on par with the best of them (at least in their own minds), and dont humble themselves very readily in the presence of people from higher classes. They dont feel the need to be subtle in their scorn of their betters as they say. I think there was (and maybe still is) more [at stake] when you trash-talked up the chain in the UK. Just a guess.
