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".

"HEY YOU! YE YOU, THE CHAV WITH BLACK PUFFY HAIR, A BLUE PUFFA JACKET, WANTING TO GO TO A SAD-ASS SCHOOL THAT YOU'RE NOT EVEN CLEVER ENOUGH FOR!" exlaimed Ralph.

Chav

Basically the people who are left behind in society in Britain, they often wear the same tracksuits and stuff, they might either have a Cex drawstring bag around them or a JD sports drawstring bag around them. They can be kinda racist too, I was once told to “go back to my country” by chav, chavs made up most of the BNP voters and a lot of EDL supporters were chavs, there is such thing as football chavs to which are basically chavs but there insanely into football
