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

Girls of the orange variety. This species is fairly easy to find as they live at McDonalds. They tend to have a frizzy bun and wear adidas clothes. common words they use: G, fam, HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN MEEE THATS ALL I NEED YEAH. They smoke 10 packs a day, so follow the smoke trail to find your nearest fast food place. DO NOT APROACH BECAUSE THEY DISPLAY VERY THREATENING BEHAVIOUR. never let them do you're makeup or you will go around looking wasted. They often date people from the gif below

Chav

A person unworthy of basic human rights and are also probably unaware of such things. Their innate abilities are formed early in life, when they develop skills such as stealing, which progresses into full blown robbery of the taxpayer when they come of age to spawn offspring. Though they have been considered vile creatures in the last decade, the past few years have seen the chav become a stylish social class and members of the chav cult have been renowned for relying on mainstream media to know of their news, music, etc. Celebrities and 'pop' stars are also responsible for producing chavs with their disgusting art. Indeed, the chav has truly evolved into a body of persons who believe themselves glamour deities and socialites. If it weren't for their inability to use their brain and think for themselves, chavs would be an almost acceptable spectacle to society. Numbers of chavs have improved with social media as well, using sites such as facebook, twitter and others to share their repugnant exploits with the world.
