A byword for someone who has a taste for a certain types of sports brand casual clothes such as nike, adidas, etc wear baseball caps, hoodies, tracksuit bottoms and tuck their trousers into their socks.

Stereotypically, they exhibit agressive behavior, drink white lightning, are oversexed, living in relative poverty in menial jobs and being a general nusance. However, this is a common misconception as you don't have to be working class or from a working class background to be a stereotype chav by a long stretch. You don't even have to throw burberry over yourself anymore either, just act like a moron and an obnoxious pain in the hole and that'll probably be enough (even if you still have to wait for your mum to pick you up).

Many pretentious, social commenting boregois Cretins who follow this stereotype love to wail at how "it reflects middle class snobbery".

Unfortuntately, these self-appointed commentators are hypocritically following exactly the same chav stereotype to the letter and are so short sighted, they fail to see what hypocritical, ignorant, talentless cunts they really are.
"You chav bastard! Go back to your white lightning outside Maccy D's!"

"But your such a snob you need to demonise the working class! You deserve any misery chavs throw at you!"

"Hello moron? You believe like said previous cretin that all working class follow the same pattern of mindless drunken talentless thuggery! What makes you different?"

general scum
several theories to the origination of the word most popular being council housed and violent

can be found in most towns or cities outside McDonald's and other fast food outlets trying to intimidate with large numbers though this always fails with the oldest member of the group being 15 with a can of white ace
usually they will be abusive to anyone who does not comply to their requests such as gizza fag (roughly translated by experts to give me a cigarette though we can not be sure)

They like to dress in the height of fashion usually a Adidas tracksuit or some variation with there baseball caps at a 45 degree to 90 degree angle
Female chav's or chavettes like to dress similar or wear skimpy tops that to any normal human looks ridiculous the chavette almost always has their hair pulled back for reasons unknown but gives a shocked or surprised appearance to the chavette
both male and female enjoy gold jewelry or "bling"
other accessories chavs have include lighters, Windsor blue's, white ace or special brew 3 babies by different dads

they also have there own form of language including hand symbols and gestures though in reality most of this has been stolen from the hip hop and gangsta rap community

due to this it is also thought the whigger is closely related to the chav a figure of respect for all chavs is Jeremy kyle

ewww, the most disgusting thing you could ever become.

Chavs are scum, they pick on people who don't follow their trend of:

girls -
+ tracksuit.
+ fake gold necklaces, earrings and other jewellry.
+ fake brand name clothing.
+ low cut tops (shows way too much).
+ 5 inches of make-up at least. (underneath it all they are ugly)
Boys -
+ tracksuit
+ fake brand names
+ wears chunky bracelets

Facts about chavs:

- They are usually found near a bus stop, or on a park.
- McDonalds is their palace.
- Usually thick as a plank.
- Spits every 5 seconds.
- Never a virgin past the age of 13.
- Chavettes refer to their friends as 'slags' or 'bitches' but will never tell eachother to their faces, or they'll deny if asked.
- Usually rasist.
- Chavs like the chavettes because they are whores and are easy.
- Always fighing.
- Drinking cider or some other cheap version of booze on friday nights.
- Smokes.
- Listens to 'MC music' a squeakier version of the crazy frog.
- Say their tough and hard, but when you want to fight back it's all "I'm gonna get my cousin"
- Nobody likes them, but they have to stay friends with them because they'll get their inter-bredded family to beat you up.

In all chavs probably the most hated thing in britain.

A british teenager, a rat brain, an obsession with crap cars, some terrible slang, the hotheadedness of a gladiator with none of the physical capabilites (like at all), and fifty yards of yellow plaid fabric all thrown in God*'s Blender.

Chavs are the Burberry-obsessed, sports-gear wearing, poor spelling teenage - middle-aged scum of the nation.

Chavs cannot, and will not be seen with less than 3 kilos of cheap, plastic jewellery, probably bought or stolen from Argos, Index, some other catalog company, or the 20 pence vending machines designed for five year olds.

Chavs like hurling insults at anything that moves, and pick fights with anyone and anything. Anyone not wearing some Chav brand is automatically "Gawrth" (which, translates to 'Goth').

Chavs usually like smoking cigarettes or weed, and drinking vodka or cider. They hang around by "Maccy D'zzz" (McDonalds), or "Beee xXx Kaii" (Burger King). They usually go to cinemas or shopping centres on weekends, or school holidays. At the cinemas, they must watch a sequel to a film, while texting a friend or throwing popcorn at people.

Chavs usually think it's cool to spend money on crappy, fake items. One chav said, and I quote: "yeh well all u stoopid emos fink chavs r cheep, i js spent 40 quid on a burbery cap soo stfu". (This cap, was fake.)

Chavs enjoy grafitti-ing too. Usually in bathroom stalls, scribbles of "Jess wuz yer 2kaii6" or "Lulu 2k7" can be found all over Britain.

Hmm... what else to say? You get the idea.
"yh wel chavs lyke roolz, dun tey? "

"Errr ghey mingarrr!!"

A chav is some-one who thinks their hard but they're really not. Listens to all that dj cammy shit (the chipmonk whos balls are still cemented to his stomach) which isnt even music, its just one crappy beat with 9 songs mixed into it. They listen to this on their shitty stolen samsung D500 which they stole off of they're nan most probably. They walk swaying their arms like a chimp, in groups of about 5 preying on innocent OAP'sm mugging them for a bag of chips, a bus ticket home and some shaaving fome. Their main greeting is 'shit boh' oh 'yes blod' and they have their own means of communication. They all have more greese on their faces than a mcdonalds fryer, wear white nike Tn tracksuits which are too big, wear matching hats, white Tn shox and fake 'tommy hilfinger' boxers. They all ride ridiculously small mini motos which should be blown up, with the chav on it.
a chavs conversation
'shit boh, what u been up to blod' said big dave
'not much yeah, got some dj cammy on ma mums phone now' replied lil jon
'lets have a listen' asked big dave. they listened to the shit.
'ahhh thats well good mush, gotta bang that outter ma dads vectra sum time'
