Chav????
Hello guys just been having a read through some different topics on here, i think i came across the word ''chav'' more than any other 
. so started to wonder what a ''chav'' is? and how different people viewed ''chavs''. Ok i grew up in east london, moved to essex have owned Rs turbos, xr2i's etc and now i own a scoob, i am 25 have a full time decent paid job, love performance cars and sometimes yes i do get abit silly on the roads, altho this has started growing out of me with age. i have a dump valve fitted on my car and i do sometimes wear a baseball cap..say if ive run out of hair gel , so i guess if some of you saw me in a cap driving my scoob u would think chav?? i hate the chavs round here so just wondering really!

It has been suggested that "charva" (or "charv") predates "chav" as a dialect word in North East England and Edinburgh, Scotland, and that "chav" may be a derivative term; they at least appear to share the same possible etymology in "chavi"

A mate of mine who grew up in the East End in the seventies says that the word Chav used to be a form of greeting. Much like people may have said "alright, geezer" during the 90's. Or alright, fella. Or alright, ****. Depending on which part of the country you're from! 
Del Boy say's it in an oold episode of Only Fools when he refers to his very yound son Damien as "the little chavvie" in an affectionate way. And Del Boy wasn't a "chav" as The Sun would define it in the modern day!
These days Chav has come to signify the "low class fighters", people who spit through their front teeth and shout at each other in public IMO. There was a term in the nineties which refered to the same people as "butters" but I don't know where that originated!
I shall be chavvin' my car up for the world cup!
