Okay, for those of us on the other side of the pond, what in Dog's name is a Chav?

Friggin' ricers, making all that noise with their dumbass exhaust tips and their cut springs and mis-matched bodykits... How's a brotha supposed to get any sleep?!

Damned non-cooperative Brits....and I demanded clarification so nicely, too.
If you want something done at all, I guess you have to do it yourself.

I have a friend in Google.The press in Britain has recently been having fun mocking a group for which pejorative descriptions have been created such as “non-educated delinquents” and “the burgeoning peasant underclass”. The subjects of these derogatory descriptions are said to be set apart by ignorance, fecklessness, mindless violence and bad taste.

Life is all the eternity you get, use it wisely.

I think it's the pronunciation that bugs me, everytime I hear chav's, it's pronounced like a countermeasure - and although that may be a creative use to get rid of the morons who hang around under the underpass setting fire to things and sneering at passers by, I don't think the RAF could put up with having a bunch of them crammed into a launching system. The scariest thing is how young some of them are; I've seen teenager girls the same age as my sister hanging round whilst their boyfriends/mates steal the hubcaps off the security vans at the local shops.
Although I resent the implication that shopping at aldi is a chav thing - there's nowt wrong wi' aldi's pizzas, lad.
Nearly got front row seats for a good scallie fight in Manchester on Friday night as well, in the end, we decided that we'd like to get back to Lancaster in one piece and left before the chairs started getting thrown around.

They're all over the place, wherever humans mke their place of dwelling, there also will you find the Townie. They're like rats, but not as clever.
A more complete description of the common 'Townie' can be found here: http://mr_drew.tripod.com/townies.htm
'Chav' is just the latest in a long string of terms used to mark them.

Another Chav resource: The Chavhemian Rhapsody
Advanced field guide notes for Americans - noteworthy in this resource are the accurate rendition of some typical Chav accents (to be technically more exact what we hear is the accent of a Chav subset, the "Scally"), and an accurate portrayal of the orange-skinned female Chav. The thing with the hands/socks/strides is absolutely true.

what happened to the days when British thugs were asskickingly cool cafe riders who wore leather jackets and rode Triumphs wildly through heavy traffic at 100 miles an hour? These little douchebags make the baby Sid Vicious cry.

Your average Chav couldn't afford a leather jacket, let alone a Tri.Col.

Why are they all wearing sweatpants? Stupid fucking Euro-trash.
