ASBO's.. Im trying to have friends. I dont have many because most are chavs but Im going to hit a real jerk and beat him up in front of everyone. I hit him in class so why not? Outside school and with everyone watching. Then Im going to fit in with everyone instead of being constantly embarrest and lonley. I never go outside and now im going to do both and have fun for the next year of total fun then back to a learning bug. The only way to have respect is to be at the top. Ive done it before so I will do it again.
Eh? :S What dya mean?
Im the kinda person that wears sporty stuff :p like nike.
Unless im goign sumwhere worth dressijgn up.
I also lived in a council house, until my mum and dad got decent jobs, so none of what you said matters to me, because I was simply stating what it stood for, thats where the word came from, I didn't exactly make it up, so go moan at the person who did.Quote:

That meaning is real predigist (cant spell) It all is, i mean. They dont think themselves as chavs. Every area is different but round here if u went calling people chavs cos they live in council ud really offend them. Its rude! I mean if it was the colour of ur skin u were being judged on then there would be a big uproar but it aint, its the place u live!!
S'ok.Quote:

Nice list!!
But...chav comes from Romany slang via Kent...nothing to do with Cheltehnham (although I have seen your definition and others on some websites).
The Medway Towns (Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham) in North Kent always had a big population of settled gypsies/travellers. For as long as I can remember (and I'm 40) they have called each other 'chavi' which is Romany/Didacoi for 'kid'. It just means 'mate' when they use it like this. I used to work as a labourer on a farm when I was 16 and there were a few gypsies there too. I remember the word being used loads. In the 1970s, local non Gypsy Kent people started using the word chavvie to mean townie, pikey, uncouth/uncultured/criminal person. Therefore, I was saying 'chav' 20/30 years ago and to me it is not at all a new word. Our grotty little town has been beaming with 'pride' that our slang has spread over the entire nation in a year.
It makes sense if you think about it. I come from a town that is probably most famous for chavs of anywhere...certainly anywhere in the south. And Cheltenham is pretty posh!

'Pikey' is also a slang word that has changed over time. You might not say it where you are...it's a pretty much ****ney/South eastern word. Related to the above, a pikey used to be a settled gyspy, or a half-gypsy...depending on who you ask. In some areas of the SE it still means that...but a lot of younger kids use it interchangably with chav...meaning white trash, townie etc.
What I don't know is the origin of townie. We never said it when I was a kid. I mean...most of us live in towns so it doesn't seem to make sense
Yeah I found there was a lot of dispute over whether it came from cheltenham, or what I'd already said.
If it stands for the cheltenham average, meaning tarty women or whatever, the girls are calling themselves slappers, and the boys are simply calling themselves women.
There's always going to be bad apples from every group, you can't blame them all for some of their bad behavior.Quote:

Chavs.. ppl thinmk they are bad. all chavs aint bad.. most are but the minority [i heart that @ skl] r nice
Why doesn't everyone stop ****ing having a go at 'chavs' people should be entitled to dress how they like and act how they like within reason so all you people saying ahhh I hate chavs, just shut the **** up and **** off!
Sorry but when I'm at school being bullied by chavs everyday, you cannot say 'let them act how they want', as for the dressing part I don't care, that's not the point.Quote:

Please don't laugh, but what are chavs?
The majority of them are yobs, bullies and crowd-followers.Quote:

As in all chav topics, im now spreading around googles deffition of chav :D
Chav is a derogatory slang term currently in popular usage throughout England. It refers to a subculture negatively-stereotyped as being uneducated, uncultured and prone to antisocial or immoral behavior. The label is typically (although not exclusively) applied to teenagers and young adults of white working class or lower-middle class origin. A male chav is sometimes referred to as a chavster and a female as a chavette, although chav is typically used to refer to both sexes.
Yup! What e sed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
