Chav

Scruffy anti social no brains who congregate on street corners of working class communities in the UK, chavs dress in the latest scrubber gear from sports direct such as joggers (sweat pants) and hoodies. They think they look the dogs bollocks but they actually look like scruffy cunts.

Chavs try and intimidate people on the streets, usually when said individual is on their own. when not in a gang, and on their own, they will shit themselves if confronted. Chavs make money by dealing drugs, mugging old grannies and thieving.

Chavs are a disgrace to decent working class people.

If a chav steals your bike, break his legs. Two birds, one stone; you get your bike back and society gets a little bit better.

Chav

Chav - thought to come from the town Cheltenham, where the private school girls would use the term chav to describe the locals of Cheltenham, short for Cheltenham average. Typically drinking energy drinks on street corners, wearing track suits but never exercising, having greasy hair (which a girl would have in an excessively tight pony tail)
Oh Victoria, look at those terrible chavs outside, goodness me the locals are truly detestable.

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".
