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.

Karol Jo looks like a chav. Look at the way she wears a headband with her ponytail. The tattoo on the back of her neck and her facial piercings make her look extra trashy.

A term used to describe gays.
They ride their little sisters bikes and wear pink tops.
I feel sorry for anyone that gives this a thumbs down. You are also a gay chav.
