The slang word Chav, comes from Gustave Flaubert's masterpiece, Madame Bovary.
Charles Bovary is a doctor, he is trusting and romantic. He loves and marries Emma she becomes Madam Bovary. She is a naive but mercenary social climber.
On their wedding night the villagers bang pots and pans under the newlyweds window, a serenade known as Charivari.
The villagers shout out Charbovari! Charbovari! a play on words by crossing Charles Bovary's name with Charivari.
Villagers would perform a Charivari when they believed a wedding to be a farce.
The villagers new that Charles was being taken for a mug by Emma. On many occasions she was unfaithful right under his nose and squandered all his money, but he continued to love her.
The word Chav has nothing to do with a mans social class or culture or educational attainment.
The word Chav refers to a decent person, a lover, being taken advantage off by their partner.

British working class men are brilliant, they are the dogs bollocks! They are not Chavs, well not all of them!

Mainly attaching itself to teenagers, the Chav virus destroys the brains ability to pronounce words such as "The" "Isn't it" and "Brother". This leaves the teenager with a vocabulary such as "Da" "Init" and "Bruv".
Along with the loss of certain words, a taste for burbury appears and the teenager will shed all sensible clothes to wear these. They will also buy jewelery from Argos as if it is worth millions.
The Chav will also harm others for no reason, they will also threaten, but do not worry as these are hollow threats and they will only hurt you once and not stab or kill you.

The alpha-male species of the chav is commonly seen hanging around almost any street corner or outside Mc Donald’s at night on a week day. They are easily identifiable, they wear baseball caps or hoods, “sports label” tracksuit trousers with socks tucked in to them, as an identification of rank (the higher the socks, the higher the Chavvy status), they ‘trend knock-off trainers’ and can typically be seen in mock Burberry clothing. Their combat experience to accompany their rank can be distinguished by the amount of battle honours (or ASBO's) gained.
The female of the species, or Chavette, can usually be identified pushing a pram around shopping centers or pubs smoking, drinking (commonly ‘XXXX’ or ‘special brew extra strength’) and swearing at the infant, or Chavlette. The ‘Croydon Facelift’
(where the hair is tied back into a bun so tightly that it stretches the skin on their face backwards) is common among the females as is cheap, imitation gold jewelry (or ‘bling’). The females status can usually be accurately judged by the sheer enormity of it’s hoped gold earrings.
The common Chav holds it’s own dialect, known as ‘Chavish’. Scientists have worked to try and understand this strange dialect for years but to no avail, however they were able to establish that Chav’s have very small brains and an exceptionally low IQ and common sense. The only bits of chavish you may be able to understand are the frequent and graphic swearing that the chav learns from it’s chavette mother at an early age.
Their recreational hobbies include ‘Maxing it up’ in their cheap and nasty old bangers (commonly the Nova and Fiesta, although a high ranking chav may drive a golden chariot (known commonly as a Saxo). They spend a fortune on large wheels and rims or alloys, LED colored lights (the reason for this is still unknown) and the most common accessory of all – the ‘wanker pipe’. This being a large exhaust or exhaust tip fitted to the exhaust system of the car which seems to simply ruin the sound of the engine. It is still however unbeknown to experts exactly what is the source of all this wealth. However it may be due to their frequent sponsorship deals with ‘Max Power Magazine’ proudly displaying their half-arsed efforts at automotive design.

1. "Look at those scum-bag chavs"
2. "What the hell is that stupid chav shouting at us?"
"I don't know, he's shouting in chavish".
"F*ckin Freaks".

There are people in the world who think that the label "Chav" is classist, and refers to those who are working class. However, once and for all, it does not. "Chav" in fact refers to those who have absolutely no respect for anything at all, though in fact demand to be respected all the same. They can be found spitting on the streets; they can be found sitting in bus shelters cadging a smoke off other people; they can be found in courtrooms everywhere for street crimes. They will happily attack anyone who so much as looks at them (Ex. 1), all the while hurling abuse at people who are differently dressed/significantly older/significantly younger/in a smaller group. They somehow eke amusement out of destroying that which has been created by others, including bus shelters and spraying graffiti over fresh paint. They refuse to accept any responsibility for anything, ever, and if they find themselves in a tight spot in life, it is always someone else's fault. (Ex. 2.) They also have a tendency to sponge off the state. For example, somewhere in not-so-Great Britain there is a family who have literally 12 children. Nobody in the family works, and because of the system the children allow the parents to claim £44,000 a year in benefits. That's close to £4000 a month (I myself work, and earn around £600), and the parents then go on to claim that they can't stop having kids "because they cannot afford condoms". They receive £4K a month and they can't spare a tenner for some johnnies?
All in all, chavs are indeed the scourge of Britain and I would urge the politicians of Britain to realise that hoodies don't need a hug, they need a lengthy prison sentence and good rehabilitation to make sure they don't reoffend.
And a swift kick up the arse wouldn't go amiss either.

Person: <glances up at chav so that he or she may avoid walking into them.>
Chav: Wot u lookin at m8? <Attacks person>
2
Far be it from me to talk about myself while defining something, but I once had a conversation with a chav who said that she failed in school because she talked in class, and she said that it was her teacher's fault for not being able to shut her up.

A lower form of primate that takes pleasure in terrorising older and younger people when in large groups. Often found in McDonalds, loitering near shops (with no hope whatsoever of being able to buy anything, having spent all their money on cheap jewellery) or destroying local children's parks. Luckily for the rest of the population chavs insist on smoking, eating regularly from McDonalds, carrying around loaded firearms (yes, they are that stupid) in their pockets, and taking drugs; lowering their life expectancy dramatically. It's just a damn shame that they can breed so quickly (possibly a defense mechanism against their short life-expectancy). A chav of 13 is likely to be already supporting 3 thildren via different fathers, all of whom have cleared off long since. Hence the chavette will buy a bumper-sized buggy, wielding it with such agility that she is able to use it as a battering ram in the rush to the '90% off' sale at adidas.
You can find a chav (or rather, a group of them) in every town that contains a pub and a few council houses.
