wha...what the hell language are you people speaking?

What is a Chav?

'chav' (slang) - a young person, often without a high level of education, who follows a particular fashion; Chavs usually wear designer labels including the chav favourite 'Burberry', and if they’re girls, very short skirts, large hoop earrings and stilettos.

Chavs see branded baseball caps as a status symbol and wear them at every opportunity. Normally found hanging around shopping centres.

Also known as Townies, Kevs, Hood Rats, Charvers, Steeks, Stigs, Bazzas, Yarcos, Ratboys, Chorer, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Kappa Slappers, Scallies, and Spides. Also known as Neds in Scotland, knackers & skangers in Ireland, and Guidos in the USA

This is all you need to know.... oh and I should add the branded clothes are usually 'fake' and they are def NOT middle class....

No, definitely not middle class. They'd be working class if they weren't so lazy and stupid. "Trailer trash" would be close.

oh...I see. I see thanks for the clarification. BTW I've been called trailer trash, white trash and redneck before although I'm not lazy and have an MFA...just grew up on the "wrong side of the tracks"

There is evidence of some middle class aping the chavs, hence the rise of Estuary English. My time at uni here was while chav culture was on the rise. The uni attracts a ridiculously large proportion of upper middle class kids (yes, friends of Prince William were in my year) and in first year they were still all Yahs, long scarves, ethnic beads, flicky hair and moth eaten jumpers -shabby chic that you have to be rich to get away with. By 4th year however there was a notable difference in the first year intake with a lot of fake tan, pram-face (tight blonde pony tails) and high street fashion on the kids from Marlborough, Cheltenham Ladies and Ampleforth.

Chavitis seems infectious.

The dress code for chavs usually goes something along the lines of Rockport boots with white trainer socks, with Adidas trackie bottoms tucked in, the top can vary but is often Helly Hanson, Adidas or Rockport and ofcorse the compulsary fake Burberry baseball cap.

It also helps to have a few chipped or missing teeth.
