chav

(n) Bilious invective directed at poor people by insecure, empty-headed 'readers' of 'Heat' magazine and the Daily Mail. An acceptable form of class snobbery for people who are too 'right-on' (or perhaps just too poor) to join a country club.

A concept invented by media cokeheads to give underpaid, overworked middle class bores something to look down on and prevent them rebelling against the people who sell them for pennies every single day of the year.
"Look at that Adrian. Some dirty chavs! I'm glad we've got our over-mortgaged little shoe-box and our Vauxhall Nova so we can see how we're different from them."

chav

chavs tend to think there " 'ard as balls" wich leads to how stupid they are. as balls arnt hard at all. they use idiotic phrases that nobody understands like "its the dogs bollacks" and use made up words as insults.
they tend to wear tracksuit trousers, that they probberly "nicked" from their local grocery store. they always want to fight but only when they have their friends with them.
the girls wear short skirts and have sex with anything that moves, even a street post if the wind is strong enough. they wear tight shirts and wear a ton of make up, but it still dosnt hide their "mingin'" faces.

avoid chavs at all cost. they are sum.

chav

Pejorative term, typically employed by timid middle-class teens to describe their poorer, more aggressive working-class brethren.

Its use often reflects both a fear of its target and a deeply unpleasant sense of social superiority. Parallel fears of relative poverty can be found throughout history, from worries about Victorian street urchins to contempt for medieval peasants.

Its users arguably deserve every bit of grief they get from those they describe as such.

chav

A male British person of (generally) low socio-economic status with a characteristic clothing style, dialect, and mode of consumer activity.

A chav is generally cunning and resourceful and invokes fear amongst his more passive and uncreative contemporaries. The character the "artful dodger" from Dickens' "Oliver Twist" represents the archetypal chav: poor and lacking in ambition, but clever, witty, and fond of creative-poetic language. The authentic "cockney", long since vanished from London, might also be considered a type of proto-chav.

The term "chav" is almost exclusively used in a derogatory sense by out-group persons, most commonly lower or middle-class British persons actively seeking to establish a more prestigious socio-economic status and the corresponding identity.

The term - and the emotional and negative connotations associated therewith - (see the vast majority of the other definitions above) can be considered the latest manifestation of the typically rigid British conception of class-consciousness.
Setting: public space in any English city. Two pedestrians are approached by a young person dressed in a track suit and a "Burberry" hat.

"Oi, gimme a fag, geezer"

"Sorry?"

"a fuckin' cig, mosha"

"Oh, sorry, I don't smoke"

"'id I say you should talk? Shut the fuck up and get out outta my sight"

Two pedestrians continue on their way. The first, non-smoking pedestrian, seeks to counter his humiliation by addressing the second pedestrian:

"Fuckin' chav."
