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

Romany word meaning "little child". Recently misappropriated by the mainstream media and used as a slur against British working class culture, while at the same time denigrating it's language of origin. To be called a chav is to be a scapegoat and effectively a "white nigger".
In many ways, both chavs and US trailer trash are 'not-quite-white', in the sense that they are seen as thieving, violent, promiscuous and thoroughly unrespectable: the very tropes that historically have been applied to Irish, Asian and Black immigrants in Europe and America.

chav

chavs are simply the dregs of human existance which generaly show them selfs as being dumb, lazy and violent.
the classic chav will hang around a lamp post shouting at anyone who walks past him and trying to start fights with inocent people, untill someone punches him in the face and couses him to run off cring to his brother/girlfriend/friends saying that they were randomly attacked for no reason
