British pejorative
slang for rowdy, antisocial, low class youngsters.
Chav-males/Chavettes-females
Chavs are heavily influenced by antisocial punk and gangster culture. Lewd and violent behavior, name brand or imitation sportswear, flashy jewelry, and a speech comprising British, American, and Jamaican
slang are stereotypical trappings of a Chav.
Take
one antisocial British youth,
add punk American gangsta, add a dash of trashy street fighter - mix well and you have a Chav.
You know that
dude on the
corner with the sports
jersey and bling, the Chav? He was talking shit to a cop and got arrested.
That’s what happens when you’re dealing with Chavs/Chavettes
