Young people who think they are the best and are always pickin fights wiv every1 for the smallest things. They hang around the streets of Newcastle smokin drinkin nd lookin untidy. There language is barely understandable. Their fashion sense consists of highly priced Rockport boots and Henry Lloyd or Fred Perry jumpers. The lasses where tight pants from Rebel Rebel in every colour and have large fringes sticin out from their head. What a waste of hair spray. The lads team their Rockports with tracksuite bottoms and Burbry caps at 45 degrees from their heads. They are usually the most popular people in school but senisible people like 2avoid them. Dont p*ss them off cause they'll "do u in"

Originally derived from the Georide term for stealing and known by many different names, the charva is easily spotted by the Burberry caps (real ones are prized after they got taken off the market due to their supposed links to football hooliganism, so most are market stall copies), white tracksuits (well, normally white; some dare to be slightly different and go blue) and Rockport (or, again, knock-off versions of) boots. Females of their kind seem to have an obsession with garish gold jewellery- chunkier the better, and usually out of a catalogue. Commonly associated with TWOCing, ASBOs, underage pregnancy and car modding.

Charvas are the scum of the universe and should be shot. They treat other people like they are shit, when the charvas are the ones standing on street corners looking like prostitutes. Most charv girls get pregnant b4 they are 20, and loads have abortions b4 they are 15. Their clothes are tacky,disgusting and completely mismatched. Im a goth and ive had charvas grief me about the way i look and they couldnt think of a better insult if it came up and slapped them with a wet fish. They are obsessed with mothers and use this as an insult ("ya ma'!") they suck the big one and should be put into corectional faciliies till they can pronounce goth properly.

This originates from 19th Century parlance and, being used as a descriptive noun, was originally attributed to a prostitute. Later this gave rise to a verb whereby a person was 'charvered' or 'f#cked', this in the context that the person in question was beaten up or generally antagonized by low-life. This then went full circle to describe the antagonist as a 'Charva'. In latter days, 'Charvae' have adopted the name as a term of endearment amongst themselves, despite being a term used to describe them as low-life scum who need to be humanely destroyed.

A gang, most commonly found in England, especially Newcastle and Manchester. Often violent, charvas are distinguished from other gangs by their dress, which is a mixture of the popular 'ska' and 'preppy' styles of the US in the mid to early 90's. Members of the Charva gang are generally disrespectful towards anyone they perceive to be different, and therefore less socially important than, themselves. Their hostility towards other groups, especially 'goths' and 'hippies', can often lead to outright violence, usually on the part of the charvas. Incidents of violence perpetrated by the charvas include rapes, beatings, and at least one case of lighting a man on fire. These criminal malcontents are extremely dangerous, arrogant, and vocal in their illusory superiority. Charvas are also generally anti-religious, be it Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, or Christianity.
Clothes often include slacks, suspenders and white button up shirts. Shoes are generally pretentious but inexpensive, (i.e. 'rockports', thought to be expensive and top-of-the-line by the charvas, with their limited worldview and predilection for self-adoration).
