I still don't understand what the hell a chav is. 😬
its a stereotype along with "emo" which is commonly used on forums like this and "goth", and it is usually used to describe a person who wears certain branded clothes eg lonsdale, burberry, gap, etc.
Bit childish really, i thought most members had moved on from stereotyping.
Originally posted by rickyduckIt's not just the clothes they wear it's their attitude; they treat everyone like scum and the girls are so unbelievably two faced. They spit all the time and smoke because it makes them look "hard" and they up here in the North East England they all go "wor man."

The accepted etymology for "chav" is that it derives from the Romani word "chavi", meaning a child.[5] Related words derived from the same source include "charva" meaning prostitute (used in north-east England in a similar sense). In modern Spanish "chaval" or "chavo" means "lad" (eg: El Chavo, a Mexican television comedy whose principal character is a street orphan).
