To be fair, the term chav was funny before then, Think about Wayne and Waynetta (Harry Enfield) I think thats what started it LOL

Typified by Burberry baseball caps apparently.

Forgive me KH, thought it was just a definition that was needed.

If tis a personal issue or if not, with someone in mind, I am gone ...

I think chav is a term which is used very loosely, I see and meet people who may be termed chavs and my daughter can use chav terms but it is very hard to define, or box off any group.

I like the chav 12 days of Christmas, very apt!

Hello Helen, yes I think the person in question is far too posh to be a chav too.

Its a stereotype, usually depicting 'typical' council estate tenants. Not true of course, but to illustrate the typical chav....take a look at Shannon Matthews family....

Thankfully people like her mother are few and far between.

just found this on urban dictionary xxxxx

1. chav 16526 up, 1761 down love ithate it

Picture this a young lad about 12 years of age and 4 ½ feet high baseball cap at ninety degrees in a imitation addidas tracksuit, with trouser legs tucked into his socks (of course, is definitely the height of fashion). This lad is strutting around, fag in one hand jewellery al over the over, outside McDonalds acting as if he is 8 foot tall and built like a rugby player, when some poor unsuspecting adult (about 17/18) walks round the corner wanting to go to mcdonalds for his dinner glances at the young lad, the young lad jumps up in complete disgust and says “Whats your problem? Wanna make sommin of it? Bling Bling” when the adult starts to walk towards the young lad, the young lad p****s himself and runs off to either his pregnant 14-year-old girlfriend or his brother in the army crying his eyes out.



Sounds like my son lol xxx
