Well I always wanted to know.. what is a chav?

 

 

 

And it would help if somebody could give me the US equivalent of a chav.

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?

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.

idfk. and what's a whigga? a white [developmentally delayed]?

Lol, and I thought the American version was bad.

 

 

 

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.

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.

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.

This. ^

 

 

 

Yeah, I saw some chavs today, In a park... 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).

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.

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.

Scotland has loads of Chavs, call them Neds up here. (Non Educated DelinquentS). Areas of Glasgow in particular had really bad problems with Neds fighting over "territory". Here's a video:

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.

My friends friend who was a ned got stabbed in the head 4 times last night.

Just think of a rapper [who isnt' white] and then, think of him as white.

 

 

 

And stop spamming threads.

A rapper who isn't white. Not a rapper who is already white.

Adrenal pretty much said white rappers are chavs.

Lol, and I thought the American version was bad.

More like [bleep]stas. Hiyo!

My friends friend who was a ned got stabbed in the head 4 times last night.

 

 

 

Well thats pretty lulzy

Think of them as white rappers, who use bad English vernacular.

 

 

 

Usually wear "hoodies" and tracksuit pants, and gold chains.

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.

Why can't black people be chavs?

Why can't black people be chavs?

 

Cause theres no such thing as a black person trying to be a white person trying to be a black gangster...yet.

Unless Micheal Jackson attempts to be gangster, THEN the consipracy theory becomes reality...

 

 

 

And now the Penguin on your TV Set-Top Box will now explode.

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?
