RayOxide Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav Read the uncyclopedia version too, it's great. Basically a chav is a whigga. And why so many threads? I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Chavs are a chiefly British phenomena, considered by some a backronym meaning 'council housed and violent'. While this is not believed to be the real etymology, it is certainly an apt description. Chavs hang around outside shops in their council estate because they have nothing better to do. They drink lager and smoke cheap cigarettes, frequently cannabis, too. They find some sort of pleasure in beating the crap out of innocent passers by, or rival 'gang' members, as they consider their little group to be on par with American gangsters; a sad, deluded view. They hang around in groups for safety, and all they like to do is play football, make themselves as muscular as possible, avoid school and it is '4 gais nd queers'. The sad thing is they think they can maintain this lifestyle for ever, but when they reach their early twenties, the majority of them will realise how mistaken they were, and wish they had at least one qualification to get a job that earns at least £5000 a year. So that's a short introduction to chavs. For more information please visit Southampton, Portsmouth, London, Machester or Liverpool, to name a few English cities plagued with this problem. The scourge of the South, I like to call them, as the south of England is where they prominently breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLancer Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Edit: To answer your question Saif, it's a white person who tries to act like a gangster. The most brutal and disgusting exploiters, ruthless gangsters in the world have almost always been white people like russians, british, italian etc... (Also recently asian) But yes these days youth often take it as "a guy who wears baggy clothing" and organise with other small-minded teens to beat up passers-by thinking they're tough. [hide=real gangster] http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4094356,00.html 13.03.2009 Strangio had been living a secluded life in a town near Amsterdam After the shooting, Strangio and Nirta allegedly fled to Ghent, Belgium where they abandoned a rental car and fell off the radar. According to Renato Cortese, the Italian policeman who coordinated Thursday's arrests, "the two led perfectly normal lives, mingling with people in Amsterdam, but often wearing disguises, including hats and spectacles." Strangio, his wife Caterina and their son were "getting ready for bed," when police raided their apartment, Cortese told the Italian news agency Ansa. Police also seized fake passports, other documents and an estimated 1million euros ($1.28 million) in cash and a firearm with ammunition.[/hide] These people are real gangsters, maybe if those 17 year old kid "chavs" realized their intelligence isn't high enough for them to ever 'rise up the ladder', maybe they'd get real jobs and quit acting. That guy was holding more cash in his hideout apartment block than a group of a few dozen typical chavs would ever make in multiple lifetimes.

Sitting on a bench near some pavements that were getting rebuilt, so they were behind that orange tape. They must of thought they were banging cool (They go to my school).

Napalm Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 This kind of people probably exist everywhere with diffrent names :S Here in Argentina there is a moreoless equivalent, which would be the "Villeros", mostly poor people that live in "villas miseria", a form of shanty town or slum. The "villeros" are considered by most citizens as thieves/drug addicts/both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcneilp Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Scotland has loads of Chavs, call them Neds up here. (Non Educated DelinquentS).

Racheya Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Chav = Stupid white trash [cabbage] head who thinks he or she is a "gangsta" I used to live in England and have never ever seen a girl chav. But I have seen.. a Sri lankan ghetto guy that sits in front of his dad's grocery store all day. Girl chavs do exist. They're plastered in make-up and fake tan. Usually pregnant wearing a tracksuit and following most of the male chav traits. I live in a chav infested area. Some people generalise it to everybody who lives in council houses which is unfair, but I don't think I've ever seen a chav who lives in a house that isn't council owned.

Will H Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'd explain fully about chavs, but Pyro has already done it in far better terms than I could have. They are simply put, the scum of society, and there are way too many of them. By the way, female chavs aren't unusual. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firanzo1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 So that's what a chav is? A white person trying to be a gangster? If a chav gang had black and white members, would it still be a chav gang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
