Charva is typically the northeastern variant of a word referring to a despicable species, also referred to as chavs, townies and various other things according to your region of the country.
Many people correctly assume the charva to be a subhuman type of animal, however they are incorrect in equating the charva with any kind of primate, as is often the case. Whereas primates display often complex social structures, emotions, and intelligent behaviour, the charva is completely devoid of such things. It is consequently a subhuman, subprimate and even submammalian form of life with more in common with the Amoeba than thinking creatures.
As such it is continually baffling that it is illegal to kill these things, but that's justice for you.
Identify your charva by it's preference for various labels of sportwear, such as Adidas, Kappa, Le Coq Sportif, Nike.
As is frequently pointed out, tracksuit bottoms are often tucked into the socks, the 'female' version of the charva has a massive fringe that you could probably slice vegatables with, and the 'male' form has typically short hair, caked in enough gel to drown a rhinocerous.
Both 'sexes' have a boisterous nature and believe that they could beat Sylvester Stallone in a fight despite being weedy and physically pathetic. If they attempt to start a fight for typically miniscule reasons please slap the creature about a bit to teach it a lesson it will rapidly forget.

One hell of an anti-socialist group of people who do nothing except for drinking at the local park all night. For their modes of transport it is usually a kids UNIVERSAL bike with the seat as high up as it can go. But when they are old enough (smack bang on their 18th birthday) they buy a car (mainly a Vauxhall Nova/Corsa, Renault 206, Fiat Punto or a Ford Fiesta) and before passing the test they add bits of cheap plastic to the body (cheap and nasty, like they are), a device for the exhaust which makes it sound loud (to collaberate with the 'blingin choons') and have at least a CD Player which has 3 bass boosts so they can be heard approaching from miles away.

charvas ase the lowest form of life....they walk around like they own the joint thinking they are "hard", but most are little weaklings! they ae spreading like a disease and should be put in quarintine! (hope i spelt that right!) they act really hard infront of their mates, who tend to be their worst enemies! adopting a geordie accent, they use phrases such as "oi! gizza a tab like" or "gizz ten pence like for ma bus fare like" and the most common "why-aye man" also using swear words mainly "fuck" and "cunt" i dont have anything against em its just they started the so called "fued" nd they shouldnt call people who differ from them. anyway the males wear fred perry striped tops and tracksuit bottoms....and they say what goths wear is scary! the males also have adopted a "skinhead" and both sexes have rockport boots. the females sometimes where tops that say "bling bling" or "new york"(and i bet they dont know that its a real place!) and usually tracksuit bottoms but if it is really cold they are sometimes spotted wearing a mini-skirt that bearly covers their hips! and they usually are pregnant before 15. this scum is multiplaying fast! we must put a stop to it immediately!
"oi gizz a tab like"
"why-aye man ya little sweaty cunt"
"what ya deein"
(one charva in my school came up to me and said: "ah! ya little sweaty betty!")
"why-aye giz twenny pence now, for ma bus fare like innit"
(another charva said "gothy offy!" what the hell?! does that make sense?!!)

A person inclined to wear "Kappa" and other tracksuit-like garments plus a hat stolen off an elderly gentleman. Vocabulary stretches as far as, "How man ya fookin hippie, lendz (?)a tab/lite" Usually all merged together in one long sentence. Many charvas have "hardcore" scars (Shaved eyebrows gone terribly wrong)

A charva is a person of limited intelligence that are found in all parts of britain, not just newcastle. They wear tracksuits mainly but have latley invested in some "Proper belter" designer sportswear. They get drunk easily but brag about the amount that they do drink. Theyre all on drugs and most of them have kids by the time they're fifteen. They are mainly located on street corners or attempting to steal your car (I'd go check about now)they talk way too loudly and swear loads just to make themselves seem big to their so called "friends" Theire friends being people they fight with the most. They hate anyone who isn't a charva because they're afraid of change and are extremely paranoid. Being charva isn't somehitng that happens, it's a way of life. So go get your dole money pet and stop swearin at my gran

A person that likes to wear cheap, baggy sportswear. They often have names like Darren or Dean and live on run down council estates. There are a large number of 'Charvas' in places like Leeds, Manchester or Newcatsle. Charvas tend to listen to 'bangin' tunes and love to hear tunes such as Clubmix 2000. Charvas often drive old Vauxhall Novas with oversized spoilers, that make them look incredibly stupid. The charva has a very limited vocabulary that includes words such as: Crank, Slink and Fucking.
