Chav

A chav is a girl version of Britain’s famous ‘roadman’.

Chavs often have a cockney accent and use lots of British slang.
They also dress usually with a messy bun, caked makeup and a tracksuit.

They often have handbags too.
Chavs usually use texting language such as:
rahhh, bare jarrin, innit, my g, fam, bruv, mate.
They sometimes misspell words deliberately to give that “British” look.
Chav: Rahhh you’re bare jarrin innit look at this neekkkkk.
Girl: I’m not jarrin or a neek, please leave me alone.

Chav

A British stereotype.

Chavs are a relic from the 2000s characterized by violent and loud behaviour, being uneducated, living in low-income council estates / having a low-income, and wearing cheap sportswear brands. If something is of poor taste, chavs are all over it. Most chavs from the 2000s either grew out of it or became losers who peaked in high school.
chav: oiiiii long time no see mate, can ye giveiz a fag innit

Jamie, you're 27. Stop dressing like a teenager and get a life.

Chav

A particular stereotype of anti-social youth dressed in sportswear. The word was popularised in the first decade of the 21st century by the British mass media to refer to an anti-social youth subculture in the United Kingdom. The Oxford English Dictionary defines chav as an informal British derogatory, meaning "a young lower-class person who displays brash and loutish behaviour and wears real or imitation designer clothes". The derivative chavette has been used to refer to females, and the adjectives chavvy, chavvish and chavtastic have been used in relation to items designed for or suitable for use by chavs. Good, chavvy names could include "Charlie", "JP", and "Tom".
