Derogatory term for certain youths in Britain. Chavs can mainly be identified by their general attire, including:

Tracksuits, White Trainers, Burberry Caps, Ridiculous Amounts of Gold Jewellry, Football Shirts, Brand names such as McKenzie, Fred Perry and Helly Hansen

Chav vocabulary s largely made of slang and mispronouced words, such as Dick 'ead, Fags (cigarettes) and F***in' Mosher.

Chavs have reputations as being very young parents, antisocial, alcoholics and drug addicts. If unsure, avoid them. But it can grow to be a loved past time to try and eliminate them from the face of the earth, as we often have tried to do.
Two in every three British youths are chavs. Let's face it, you could get mugged anywhere.

Comes from the Geordie word "Charva" meaning a young person who wears tracksuits and jewelry while hanging around street corners acting hard.

Charva has been used in North East England for at least thirty years and perhaps even longer. Chav became popular in 2004 after being used to describe problem kids in the mainstream UK media.

The word Charva itself comes from the Romany word "Chavi" meaning child.
"It's Chava not Chav."
