British pejorative slang for rowdy, antisocial, low class youngsters.
Chav-males/Chavettes-females
Chavs are heavily influenced by antisocial punk and gangster culture. Lewd and violent behavior, name brand or imitation sportswear, flashy jewelry, and a speech comprising
British, American, and Jamaican slang are stereotypical trappings of a Chav.
Take one antisocial British youth, add punk American
gangsta, add a dash of trashy street fighter - mix well and you have a Chav.
You know that
dude on the corner with the sports
jersey and
bling, the Chav? He was talking shit to a cop and got arrested.
That’s what happens when you’re dealing with Chavs/Chavettes
