Sebix

Sebix, or Seba. Slang similar to Dutch equivalent Sjonnie (Johnny). Let me show you how they are, as there are similarities but also differences between them.

Origin 

Sebastian, that name is the origin of the slang word "Sebix". They also have "Alfons" here, but let me write about them at a later stage not to confuse you.

Comparison

Let me compare Sebix with the Dutch Johnnies using the following characteristics: 

Outfit, posture, haircut, facial hair, accessories, tattoos, pets, music, means of transport, food, drinks, smoking, hangouts, wife or girlfriend and character.
