simply scum! even a 3 letter word is enough to overload their primitive brain cell causing a reaction such as "ere fuck off ya daft cunt for a get our gaz ta knock ya oot" who's gaz? it seems every one of em has a hard relation called gaz. at the age of 14 the average charva has a baby called chelsea or conan or what ever they can "think" of. and most seem to give their children gregs pastries or bakers oven sausage rolls "savoury dummies" as we call em. cider is now famous as charva drink and emty bottles can be found in every back street in the north east. to conclude a charva is a stuck up, drug taking luney who badly needs counciling and detox. they think they are the best but in the real world they are looked down upon as the a plague of england.

first of all the lasses wear: trackey bottoms or jeans if they can afford them! fred perry stripey jumpers, berghaus coats, massive hoop earrings, far too much make up, black rockports, usually known as rocky p's, bleached blonde hair and a huge fringe stickin out of their head!
and then lads wear: tracksuit bottoms, fred perry or henri lloyd stripey jumpers, rockport coat, rockport boots, most of them wear a burberry cap (usually fake) carefully placed at 45 degress, they have their eyebrow pierced and one ear pierced, and have a tab carefully placed behind their ear, both wear huge sovereign rings and chunky gold chains, they always go round shoutin and swearin their heads off, and stickin their noses up at goths or just any different people.
their example of fun is getting stoned or pissed out their heads!
they always have fights with people for meaningless reasons, and the lads like to get their girlfriends pregnant by the age 15!

A person (male or female) who wears sports makes all the time. Males usually have short or shaved hair, females usually have a huge sticky-out fringe. Charvas like to shout at people different to them and they adopt a strong accent when in groups. Can also be identified by the way they walk: like they have something shoved up their ass. Use the word 'fucking' a lot as well as 'you daft cunt', 'fucking hippy', 'fucking goth' and 'fucking hard'.

There are various degrees of being a Charva. It is not as clean cut as some may have you think.
Here are my gradings 1 - 5, 1 Being Least Charva’ish and 5 being fully blown Charva, Stripey Jumper and All.
1. Wears expensive Rockport Boots and Stripey Jumpers. Does this because alot of other people he knows where these things. I personally know people at this grade, they are very down to earth and only occasionally wear the Charva uniform.
2. Above with the addition of a modified Geordie accent. This accent modification is very well documented in other posts on this page.
3. As above who hangs about in groups of other charvas. This is an important stage, this is where a Charva borders on becoming intrusive, arrogant, and to be blunt, a bit of a waste of space. They also wear a Burburry cap which is very carefully worn at 45 degrees, the practical function of this is still under investigation.
4. As above including, the Charva will have a very bad attitute to anything that he or she doesn’t like or understand, they will have a chip on the shoulder attitude. This type of Charva is very arrogant and doesn’t really care about anything but him or herself
5. As above….They are the roughest people you could possibly come across, they beg on the streets for money which they need to feed their drink and drug habits. The females have lots of scrunches in their hair, usually have a ridiculous fringe, wear bright colloured leggings and tend not to have much dress sense at all.
Charva`s have changed their dress code somewhat in the last 5 years. They used to wear Kappa tracksuits with a vast array of ski jackets, this has moved on to any sort of top that has horizontal stripes, (polo shirt and jumpers are a favorite). Rockport or rockport look-alike boots are also worn. Jeans are usually worn however some charvas prefer tracksuit bottoms (usually worn only by the poorer charvas).
The modern Charva name was associated with people from Newcastle, however, they can be seen on many streets throughout the UK, with very similar dress sense and attitude, however as you can imagine, their accent and slang differs from city to city.

These foul cretins inhabit the city of Newcastle. Traditional Charva wear consists of
Headwear: Burberry Cap
Top: Henry Lloyd/Fred Perry hooped sweatshirt, Berghaus Jacket
Pants: Tracksuit bottoms (Trackie B's)
Shoes: Rockports (Rockie P's)
Can often be found to be using a bastardised version of the geordie dialect. Easily recognised as they mooch about on street corners in great numbers to prey on some unsuspecting member of the public.
weak on there own but, ( like to think they are) Strong in numbers.
Total embarresment to the gret city of Newcastle. I wish they would Fuck off.

The lowest form of class consciousness, a reversion to stereotype and parody. Their tribal mentality is uniformed not only in clothes but codes; hugely patriarchal,machismic,anti-intellectual and resentful of any aspirations towards cultural divergence. Essentially tragic groups who must retreat into expected social roles and interests in order to belong, perhaps belong. They have internalized middle class prejudices and expectactions and inverted these features to appear as an offensive action rather than a defensive one. Feelings of inadequacy are converted into hostility for every aspect of "respectable" living and all its related paraphernalia. They are best understood as Thatcher's bastards.

scum of the north east. typically sporting the latest "trakkie B's" , Rockport boots and Berghaus jacket. Males usually wear fake burberry baseball cap at 45 degree angle, females prefer to sport the charva fringe acheived by curling the fringe around a coke can and laquering with half a can of hair spray. Charvas can often be found in most places, particular street corners and parks drinking their "tinnies" and bellabrusco or any cheap drink ending in brusco. Both sexes prefer to drape themselves in cheap jewellery and can often be seen smoking their favourite tabs lambert and butlers whilst shouting "way aye yee mug" or "you daft c*nt"
