Chav- Council house, alcoholic violence
Such a definition can already give you a pretty good idea as to what sort of human scum we are dealing with when we are discussing Britain's new social working class.
A race of cowardly, ignorant and, above all, stupid people that believe drinking £1 (or cheaper) cider in a bus stop or such venue is a night out "wiv da lads". When approached by one chav, he will often mumble and look down, but approach the very same chav later with his "crew", he will attempt to look "propa hard" by starting a fight (often failing miserably). When threatened, he will not hesitate to call his "crew" into action and they will (somehow) devise a plan to take you to the floor and just kick you til you pass out.
Chavs tend to mock those who are different to them, coming up with various witty names such as "gribly", "mosha" or "goff". Such simple vocabulary, often grunted in an exaggerated deep voice by chavs and in a shrill scream by the chavette, the female equivalent, other favourite words and phrases include "mint", "sound", "mush" (some sort of word they use for each other) and "safe". The fact that nearly all chav words are monosyllabic is no coincidence, as this language is linked not only to their intelligence (or rather lack of), but their feeble attempts to seem intimidating.
Many chavs will point out a person who dresses or appears different to them, much like a dog will bark at or curiously sniff someone or something that is different to them (coincidence, I think not!)
Chav 1: Ova ther mate, fuckin' goff
Chav 2: Smelly goff... needs a batt'rin'
Chav 3: OII!!!! GOFF!!
Such is the feeble existence of the chav, that they feel the need to taunt those who are either alone or different. Much like a pack of wolves will taunt and kill a lonely deer... as you may be able to tell, chavs are fairly primitive and unsophisticated creatures that follow simple animal instincts to something unusual or even frightening.

A chav is like used toilet paper, you wouldn't want to go near it again. Female Chavs (Chavettes) tend to wear masses of make-up that's thicker than custard. They also wear skirts which are infact belt and have this growth coming off the side of their head which is s'pose to be some form of hairstyle. They also have monroe piercing which look like huge moles.

Male chavs are loud and try to grab their penis to look 'ard even though we all know there not hard and there penis can not get hard in anyway because they all have vaginas. You can spot on of these chavs by identifying their tucked in tracksuits in their cheap knock-off trainers and their fake burbury because they can't afford the real shizz.

I could go on but there's too much to say
Ew ... quick there's a chav around the corner, let's poke it and see if it aquirms.

Chav Habits
Chavs can usually be found in gangs of more than 20, with chavettes in tow(who will be shagged later that night). They're main habits include terrorising pedestrians, vandalism, smoking, using words such as 'init' and 'minger', picking fights with other none-chav youths, unprotected sex, hanging around council estates and chip shops (the chav's temple), riding aroung town on £10 BMX's on saturdays and asking total random strangers on the street if they can borrow 50p.
How to confront a chav
1. Do not confront a chav gang (unless you are hard or armed). Chav gangs give the chav more confidence in 'safety in numbers' and a desire for them to show off in front of they're 'friends'.
2. Use your brain, chavs have no IQ over 0.01.
3. Be confident, chavs can smell fear.
4. Give them a fucking good hiding!
HINT: Don't confront a chav gang unless necessary.
Chavs can also be called
Twats
Townies
Neds (Scotland)

Get the Chav mug.
An english derived term for a common type of British citizens. They can be of any age (usually 12 through to 80), and they all smoke, do drugs and binge drink.
Female and male chavs are both quite similar, as their dressing style (tracksuit) is the same, and both genders do not work.
Below is a typical example of a conversation between two chavs.
A: Ayup, why you lose so much fat, like?
B: I just popped out another one.
A: Whos da dad?
B: Dunno.
A: OMG dat's like sooo gangsta. :L
B: Yeah man. We so gangsta.
A: So why dey call us chavs?

INTRODUCTION
One of the lowest forms of life, chavs can most commonly be found loitering around street corners late at night or in McDonald's. Teenage chavs are generally more violent than adult chavs, as teenage chavs are not only stupid and violent, but also hormonal. Unfortunately, PETA and the RSPCA outlaw killing chavs as vermin under the animal protection act of 1975. Chavs populate roughly an overwhelming 40% of the population of the UK.

BEHAVIOUR
Although there are some slight variations, chavs are inherently violent and stupid. Chav attacks are common, especially in the UK and little or no provocation is needed to trigger a chav attack. Although chavs are often in poor physical shape due to poor diet, overuse of alcohol, smoking/drug use and lack of exercise, they can swarm an innocent member of the public within minutes and "kick the shit owt ov him" whilst he is down. Chavs value acting "hard" and appearing intimidating over intelligence and kindness.

ADVICE
Chavs can be very dangerous in numbers, so it is advisable to know how to deal with one. Some may say "to beat the chav you must become the chav". This is true to an extent. If in danger of being attacked by chavs, alter your behavior slightly to appear a little more like them until you get an opportunity to leave. This can be done simply with the occasional use of the word "mate" and avoiding any long words which may confuse or anger the chavs.

its a british stereotype... generally a teenager or young adult, but you get chavs in their 40s too. they shop at sports shops only, and wear tracksuits everywhere. the girls scrape their hair back into a bun and slick it with gel. the girls also wear extremely large hooped earrings. both male and female chavs wear as much fake gold and fake burberry as possible. they like to chew noisily and swear their heads off. most live on council estates and often have kids in their teens. the british form of a redkneck
A: whos that chick with all the bling?

B: thats stacey, the chav.
