A gang, most commonly found in England, especially Newcastle and Manchester. Often violent, charvas are distinguished from other gangs by their dress, which is a mixture of the popular 'ska' and 'preppy' styles of the US in the mid to early 90's. Members of the Charva gang are generally disrespectful towards anyone they perceive to be different, and therefore less socially important than, themselves. Their hostility towards other groups, especially 'goths' and 'hippies', can often lead to outright violence, usually on the part of the charvas. Incidents of violence perpetrated by the charvas include rapes, beatings, and at least one case of lighting a man on fire. These criminal malcontents are extremely dangerous, arrogant, and vocal in their illusory superiority. Charvas are also generally anti-religious, be it Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, or Christianity.
Clothes often include slacks, suspenders and white button up shirts. Shoes are generally pretentious but inexpensive, (i.e. 'rockports', thought to be expensive and top-of-the-line by the charvas, with their limited worldview and predilection for self-adoration).

Charva: Male charvas are loud annoying youths who hang around on streey corners smoking lambert and buttlers and drinking the cheepest cider they can get there hands on. however this is often a problem as they are always unwilling to pull there hands from out of there underwere or take them off the girlfriends arse. For some reason they feel the need to continuosly spit directly bettween there shoes and it is a wonder that there fake rockport shoes are not permanantly cacked in spit. They were clothes that are hidious and that they like to think are expensive but are actually cheep nock offs bought from market stalls in spain were there mother has taken her new boyfriend on a holiday. they like to were there nock off burburry hats at a ridiculasly high angle on there heads and for some rreason as yet not known gel there hair before they put there hats on. The girls i can only assume, get a coke can and spray there fringe around the can using enouf hair spray to put quite a large hole in the o-zone layer. They also always look oringe from using too much foundation. They were alot of white and like skin tite trousers. they always are seen hanging on to some idiot boyfriend and is usualy pregnant or seen pushing pushchairs around town. When groups of charvas get together they are loud and usually uninteligable. they like to shout abuse at people and pick fights with people because the person in question happened to look in the general area of theses youths. After carefull thought and analysis i decided that the closest thing that charvas can be described as being like are blackbirds and pigeons. And this is only because both the birds and charvas seem to live off tab ends and chewing gum.

A teenager who wears cheap tracksuits (usually kappa, nike, addidas or an imitation of that), wears hair extremely short with an oversized fringe (male) or long scruffy hair with a huge oversized fringe. Uses an extremely overpronunced accent. Will pay other, older teenagers to "gan get us some tabscigarrettes)". Will usually procreate at 14, although some cases have known to procreate at age 8. Will enter prison between the ages of 18 and 24 where the shit will be kicked out of them.
