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
