CHARVER

A Charver is a sub-species of the human race. Occasionally a perfectly normal family will give birth to one of these creatures. In ancient times, survival of the fittest nearly always killed of these unfortunates. However, thanks to Clement Atlee and the Welfare State, they now have a means to survive. Several different types of charver exist- True Charvers, who have an average IQ score roughly the same as a snail, and find it funny to drink, smoke, sleep with young girls/old men and fight one another. Then there are Scum Charvers, like True charvers, but average at four foot ten in hight, and will only swear at you if they outnumber you twenty to one. There are several other varieties, such as townies, radgies etc. All varieties are native to the North East, especially Newcastle. Charvers are now spreading, and take hold whrever the welfare system can be manipulated.

Examples of charver talk
"Uh, got ten pence for some tabs how"
"Where am a? Idont remember goin to sleep here, man like how"
etc, etc
