I generally see charvas strutting round in newcastle wearing: tog 24 jackets, gold loop earrings about the size of a hula hoop, rock ports, and dreadful "gold" chain necklaces of clowns and the like.
"Wot ya think ya's deein?! gannin roond eeaa, a'll ****in' marr ya!" and "ha ya goth the time?!" and throwing in either "ee", "how", "like" or "man" at the end of each sentence.

Charva is a word that originates from the west end of newcastle. often referred to as the best end by charvas. a charva is someone who can often be found drinkin bella on street corners or local parks. after 2 or 3 bottles they are often found staggering home abusing anyone who passes at about 10:30 at night

coomon shit heads only out to cause misery and pain....a complete waste of space, a cancer of earth, probably the source of all STDs in the known world. all charvs should die......the world would be so much better without them and the streets would finally be safe to walk at night without the words:who ya lookin at ya daft cunt???or sweaty two comin thru!!!

Young people who think they are the best and are always pickin fights wiv every1 for the smallest things. They hang around the streets of Newcastle smokin drinkin nd lookin untidy. There language is barely understandable. Their fashion sense consists of highly priced Rockport boots and Henry Lloyd or Fred Perry jumpers. The lasses where tight pants from Rebel Rebel in every colour and have large fringes sticin out from their head. What a waste of hair spray. The lads team their Rockports with tracksuite bottoms and Burbry caps at 45 degrees from their heads. They are usually the most popular people in school but senisible people like 2avoid them. Dont p*ss them off cause they'll "do u in"

Originally derived from the Georide term for stealing and known by many different names, the charva is easily spotted by the Burberry caps (real ones are prized after they got taken off the market due to their supposed links to football hooliganism, so most are market stall copies), white tracksuits (well, normally white; some dare to be slightly different and go blue) and Rockport (or, again, knock-off versions of) boots. Females of their kind seem to have an obsession with garish gold jewellery- chunkier the better, and usually out of a catalogue. Commonly associated with TWOCing, ASBOs, underage pregnancy and car modding.

Charvas are the scum of the universe and should be shot. They treat other people like they are shit, when the charvas are the ones standing on street corners looking like prostitutes. Most charv girls get pregnant b4 they are 20, and loads have abortions b4 they are 15. Their clothes are tacky,disgusting and completely mismatched. Im a goth and ive had charvas grief me about the way i look and they couldnt think of a better insult if it came up and slapped them with a wet fish. They are obsessed with mothers and use this as an insult ("ya ma'!") they suck the big one and should be put into corectional faciliies till they can pronounce goth properly.

This originates from 19th Century parlance and, being used as a descriptive noun, was originally attributed to a prostitute. Later this gave rise to a verb whereby a person was 'charvered' or 'f#cked', this in the context that the person in question was beaten up or generally antagonized by low-life. This then went full circle to describe the antagonist as a 'Charva'. In latter days, 'Charvae' have adopted the name as a term of endearment amongst themselves, despite being a term used to describe them as low-life scum who need to be humanely destroyed.
