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

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".

Chav

A chav is someone you don't want to get involved with. If you do, you will have grand-children before the age when you even wanted your own kids. Here are the signs you will need to keep a look out for:
1. They begin to drop their T's from words.
2. They ask everyone who walks past if they have a spare fag.
3. They begin to travel around in larger groups thus to overpower us normal people.
4. No, they are right about everything because school is for idiots.
5. That tracksuit cost £200 quid mate, they often say things like this "don't look at what you can't afford".
6. They pick fights with you just for the sake of it, often by doing this "Oh don't I know you".
7. Pregnancy at a young age is a big tradition.
8. Of course they have parents to tell them to stop, but they're too busy being Chavs themselves to give a shit.

If you spot any of these points, your best bet is to run, hide or get your gun.
To report whether you have a Chav in your local area please call 111 or #Theresonestillalive@(whereyoulive).

Thanks for reading... and be safe.
