If you wanna see more chav's watch Gamesville, the audience are mainly chavs
Also when the local news go out to the estates and a bunch of kids gather to get their faces on tv (even if its a serious item about a rape etc) they are chav's too.

Go to a supermarket car park on a Friday and Saturday night, good place for chav spotting.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated with continually explaining that "Chav" and "Chavvies" have been used as a DEROGATORY word for gypsies and travellers for at least 100 years. It comes from Chavo,-a, -avali the Romany words equivalent to boy, girl (or "lass" and "lad") My grandfather used the word all his life 1890-1970 about the travelling people, fairground workers etc in the Hants/Sussex border. The word has always had the sense of a despised underclass. and I for one find it very offensive

Spot on Ludovica. I would have to say that I have always preferred the alternative term of 'Kev' for the South East (pace Harry Enfield), 'ned' for West of Scotland (from Teddy Boy) and some of the numerous scattered local appellations in the remainder of the country. But linguistics tend to be determined by usage and the rise of 'chav' is interesting. The obvious other example of a word doing this is 'gay' which has had five entirely seperate meanings within 150 years (my thesis on this is available on request - what, noone, alright I'll get me coat...)

Social Security CHAVS wear lots of gold and the female CHAV likes CLOWN NECKLACES

A dictionary definition of the word Chav
and possible explanation of its origins.
Hi Eagle :cool:
Thank you. One more buzz word to add to my dictionary.
Also when the local news go out to the estates and a bunch of kids gather to get their faces on tv (even if its a serious item about a rape etc) they are chav's too.

You have to watch from a distance tho, if they see you, your done for.
And those who refuse to use it even more superior....

Which makes the news of Trisha's departure from ITV all the more worrying, at least we know where they are for an hour on weekday mornings!
