:lol: Always been wondering what meant, thx! not to rain on your parade... but chav doesnt actually stand for that. chav is short for charver. charver has been a word for a LOT longer. Its definition has significantly evolved over time, charver (or chaver) used to mean something more akin to "trendy" i.e. obsessed with popular clothing / music ect.. it changed over time into what we call chavs today. chavs: unemployed benefit scrounging gits about 100 of em in 1 family tracksuits lambrini white lightning rockports chav mums are fat they all smoke ASBOs very very very very bad language skills rave / dance music ASBO? :-s
