Yuppies talk on their cell phones about money, the hip-hop skaters talk about Zoo York, the punk rockers stick with the crusties, while a junkie nods out at the creamer station.
Yn ol yn y dydd roedd yr enw "crusties" yn cael ei ddefnyddio i ddisgrifio y teithwyr newydd (New Age Travellers), fe benderfynwyd bathu term Cymraeg ar eu cyfer; crustie swnio fel crystun, crystun ar ben torth, felly "pennau torth" oedd y gair Cymraeg am "crusties".
It would have been sad if they hadn't all been hippy crusties used to such conditions.
