Chav

The word originally derives from the first letter of each of the following words;
Council House And Violence.
And is frequently used, to explain males of the young, middle-aged and the elderly riff raff types (chavs), that are up to no good and have unfortunately over-populated England. Making England go downhill and making it a very dangerous and depressing place to live.

These animals (the chavs) take great pleasure in making everybody's lives a misery and are only ever intimidating when they hang around in groups / gangs of anything from 3-50 people.
Individually, they are cowards.

They are happy to remain unemployed and to scrounge as much money as they can off of government benefits and people.
They also like to smoke dope, sniff glue, get drunk and to get their girlfriends pregnant, as much as possible. It's like a hobby to them.
They also have to remain as the most negative role-model to their kids, in the hope that he or she will turn out like him (the parent). the chav(s) in the U.K actually believe that behaving as a bad role-model is fun they feel that it is the way forward in life for themselves and for their kids.
They also like to attack elderly people who are pretty much defenseless people and are easy targets for the chavs to getting some quick money, for their drug / booze fix.
As of course the chav will do everything within their power to avoid getting a real job.
Chavs can be found on most street corners within the U.K, wearing sportswear such as; tracksuit tops and bottoms. Also white trainers and Burberry / Fred Perry polo shirts. Normally a typical stripey design to their shirt is the most favoured. The same goes for their sweaters / jumpers, which are also stripey, (almost like that of Dennis The Menace, - the cartoon character). Oh yes, the shirt is almost always tucked upwards for some very strange reason, looking very much like Elvis Presley.
They also like to wear fake jewelery around their necks and they have a very strange tedency to tucking their socks outwards and over their tracksuit bottoms, so that the sock is showing on the outside and is completely visible to the public. And they also have the most obvious commoners fashion accesory / item ='s the baseball cap.
Normally with the Burberry styled; Rupert The Bear type of design to it.
I don't know if they wear these baseball caps with the hope and belief, that one day the baseball cap will give them extra braincells? As I cannot think of why they would need to wear a baseball cap if they do not play baseball?

CHAV

Not middle class, privileged and an ignorant wanker.
Often poorly educated as a result of all the middle class wankers monopolising all of the best opportunities for an education.
Nowhere near as bigoted as your average middle class wanker either.
Usually sick of listening to crap spouted by people who are obviously frustrated that not being able to pick on people of different colours has deprived them of targets for their hatred.

Chavs

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."

Chav

A British (mostly consisting of England, of course) lad who ironically can not pronounce 'Isn't it' without sounding like a southern US citizen. These subspecies of humans can be found prancing around any McDonald's fast food resturaunt, Tesco, Mothers basement in the UK. These subspecies like to wear black track jackets and trousers with white stripes on the front and back, with their trousers tucked in their socks, with white sketchers or some shit on, and typically a buzzcut style haircut. These subspecies act like they're townies from Bully, pretend to be some sort of tall ass thug, but in reality they're laughably lanky and short, so it makes them act like the same way Donald Trump pretends to not be racist.

Chav

Black curly hair, big puffa jacket, and looking forward to moving to a sad-ass school. Good, chavy name: Charlie.
"Ah mate, you're such a chav!" explained the sad boy in his big puffa jacket hanging from a girly, black afro.
