LOL at the chav site

>Chavs listen to only 3 music genres; Rap, R&B and Dance. Rap for the boys, R&B for the girls and Dance for both sexes. Extensively most of the music they listen to is in the Top40 or has been at some point in the last year. If a Chav listened to non-chart music they may suddenly have a moment of enlightenment that there is more to music than trashy compilations and they will eat their own brain in confusion!

BTW the above featured chav won the lottery - £9M odd. so his style is very much "chav to the max". maybe "turbo chav" .

he chose that inspired get up to attend court where he was charged with various drugs offences. the story is from that font of all wisdom, the currant bun.

Isn't Chav short for Chava (pronounced Charver)?

That word's been around for years in Leeds.

a chav is, basically, what I would have called a 'nova boy' ie; sterotypical council estate scumbag.

My brother's a Chav, sadly.

Some of the sh1te he wears is so funny. And he's an avid Max Power reader.

We don't see much of each other!

lol @ fatherpierre - that's a brave admission. i'm sure that support groups exist to help family and friends of chavs cope with the trauma.

I think he's destined for a life of Chavdom, to be honest.

He thinks Burberry caps are cool but doesn't wear the silly rings or necklaces. Yet.

Hot damn, 13 replies in less than an hour! Too many folks with not enough to do methinks

WRT to Chav, it's as I suspected then, not much different from a Barry Boy

LOL @ fatherpierre, I think my stepdaughter is turning into one

From Google;_

"It's from a Geordie word, "charver", originally meaning "slapper". Then I suppose applied to "Kappa Slappers", you know the girls who always wear the Kappa tracksuits... and also the male variety got lumped in with the same word, since no-one uses it in the original sense anymore."

People call Impreza Drivers Barra Boys! Why?

Chavs? look like pikeys to me! really, they do!

This is an underclass that breeds at the rate of 1 = 6!! They start at 14 anyway!

We WILL be overrun!

Chav would appear to be some toe rag scum who had a stroke of luck after release from jail spent a pound won some cash then continued on his ways and back in court.

There is no god!

I think their must be more to this chav thing than meets the eye. I know a mate from uni, whoose usual attire was a T-shirt, kappa tracksuit bottoms, and a pair of white Reebok Classics.

Now is this Chav?

Odd thing he never wears a basball cap, and he hates the site of kevs and neds, so obviously there is this kind of gang theme going on, west side- vs east side or something.

Irritating part is he earns more than I do now

...and if he is a full chav he will tell you how much he gets paid. Money has nothing to do with being a chav, you can get paid loads and still be a chav.


And a chav always thinks they are not chavs...your mate is clearly in a fairly advanced stage of chav.
