chav

Illiterate, badly dressed, unhealthy, unappealing, badly brought up, scum. The lowest species on the planet. Worse than nits and lice. Commonly found on street corners, smoking, picking on people smaller than themselves, causing trouble and ruining our country.

Can be seen on Jeremy Kyle, outside McDonalds, and in the county court on special occasions such as their brother's bail assesment or their prize-giving ceremonies (ASBO allocations).

They have also been known to threaten people into buying them cigarettes or alcohol, whilst their pregnant thirteen year old girlfriends grab your mobile out of your pocket, to sell at a pawn brokers to fund their bling addiction.

Most chavs love mouthing off as if they "blatently" rule the planet, though most of them contradict themselves, for example "I ain't got to get no job and nobody ain't gonna fockin' make me get no job." In this sentence they have badly said that they aren't going to get NO job (ie. they are going to get at least one} and nobody isn't going to make them get no job (nobody will stop me from getting a job).

Ignorance must be bliss...

Most chavs are only like that because they are a little bit thick, so instead of attending school, they choose to skive and smoke etc. instead, therefore becoming influenced by people similar to themselves.

Chambitions...

A chambition (chav + ambition) is usually one of the following:

Chardonnay and Taneesha, 14 years old, in full earshot of everyone in their set 5 science class...

Chardonnay: Oh ma god Taneesha I have blaters got my life well sorted

Taneesha: Whassat den bebs?

Chav

Originally an initialism meaning "Council Housed and Violent", C.H.A.V, was used on social service reports warning officials of the nature of welfare criminals in council houses. With rising numbers of outlandish and farfetched cases of welfare criminality, the tabloid papers like; The Sun; The Daily Mail and the Daily Star adopted the initialism and formed it into a word to describe the "Chav" sub-culture that was rapidly developing around 2005 with more readily available Labour benefits. The word is less commonly used now as it quickly turned into an insult as the scope of the word was very small, stereotypically referring to people wearing Burberry clothing, so anyone not acutely fitting that generalisation would be offended so when the real chavs realised how it was being used they took offense and probably walked twenty yards away from the person who had called them a chav and loudly shouted an insult followed by a threat ( or vice-versa) to gain attention and recognition from fellow chavs that they were going to kick off. This scene could still be seen in the present in poor, village type places, or any place where their is a "big fish in a little pond" scenario. The modern "chav" still has links with some of the lazy and "chavish" mannerisms that the original word summarized, it has become an insult to the poor who wear fake clothing, smell, and are illegally claiming the dole because they are too fucking lazy to work.
Refer to the Jeremy Kyle show to see typical chavs broadcasting their lives so the general public can say "yeah I'm better than that scum"

chav

An unfortunate sub-culture which is a waste of space and should be exiled

Not worthy of being called "British"

Also they'd rather spend money on a crappy old car than buy a new one
Chav-Lend me 10 bar, bruvva, WTF are you looking at?

British person-Get stuffed, you are the skidmark on the underpants of society! How many British soldiers died for pieces of shit like you! YOU'RE AN INSULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chav

Chav, is a derogatory term applied to certain young people that is usually heard in the United Kingdom. The stereotypical image of a chav is a white aggressive teen or young adult, of working class background, who wears branded sports and casual clothing, who often fights and engages in petty criminality, and are often assumed to be unemployed or in a low paid job. The word is believe to have arisen due to stereotypes portrayed in the British sketchshow 'Little Britain'.

chav

A person/group of people who go around thinking they are better than everyone else. They copy everyone else as they have no imagination of their own. With things such as music and clothing style. They tend to do nothing with their lives and spend their lives getting moved on by the police from certain places and drinking cheap alcahol.
"Hey guys, this is my new friend!"
