A word used by snobs of the middle to upper-class to look down their noses at people raised in different culture than they were. They like to pretend the term is demeaning only to said "chav's" behavior and define the word as being specific to anyone who fits certain stereotypes of lower-class people. This way they don't have to admit what the word really is, blatant classism.
Snob: "Let's go, I don't want to hang around all these stupid chavs."
Poor person: "Thanks for leaving, because we don't want a spoiled, arrogant arsehole here."

Get the Chavsmug. Generally pertaining to the Proletariat class, a Chav is a person who possesses a significant number of negative stereotypical traits. They do not however, necessarily have to be from the Proletariat class. The word Chav comes from a Gypsy word meaning child and is typically synonymous with the word peasant. However, whence used in correlation alongside a middle-classed individual it is obviously only associated with stereotypical negative traits commonly found within their inherent caste base. Such as; snobbery, ignorance, greed, lack of sporting prowess, vanity, etc.. A middle class Chav may be termed a Mav (Middle-class Chav.) Katie Hopkins is a perfectly acceptable example of what may be termed as a middle classed Chav, or Mav. This term is offensive to many and because of its inherently obvious comparability to the expressions pleb, and peasant, it may some day be considered a hate crime to call someone this in public.
