A person, typically from the North of England, who adopts a distinctive working-class style characterized by casual sportswear (often tracksuits), flat caps or baseball caps, and a tough or streetwise attitude. Similar to a "gopnik" in Eastern Europe, a chavnik is known for hanging out in groups, enjoying football culture, and often associated with cheeky banter, slang unique to Northern English dialects, and a sometimes rebellious, down-to-earth lifestyle.

A chavnie is a slur for British people. This word surrounds itself by the British slang ‘chav,’ which was used against those who may hoe around and act like what you would call a ‘slut’ in America. Or maybe something you would call anyone named Deno Price

Quite possibly the cutest, sweetest, and most attractive girl you'll ever meet. Not only is she pretty and hot, but she has great intellectual insight and is all around a perfect person. No matter what she does, you could never get mad at her. When you see her pictures, her smile, her eyes, you feel not only turned on, but content. Content because you know that she is everything you could ask for. A simple girl who is the life of the party.
Charnika I love you ,
