For all of us Americans: what is a Chav?

Qonfused · May 17, 2006

I see it being used a lot around here. I know it's not a good thing to be one but what exactly is a "chav?" Or is it just an expression?

ailevation · May 17, 2006

Wigger.

Asknoone · May 17, 2006

A scumbag. They wear tracksuits, gold rings...such as...generally a mess. I don't think I could describe them any other way.

Teta_Bonita · May 17, 2006

A chav is like a hick trashy gangster here in the US, only with a bad accents and worse teeth.

Ren.182 · May 17, 2006

A chav is an asshole who wear disgusting tracksuits with their trousers tucked into their socks. They were cheap gold soverign rings and stupid fat gold necklaces. They generally go round causing trouble.

They're just the scum of the world.

<3 America

Xune · May 17, 2006

They'd be the counterparts to American "Trailer-Trash" or "Wiggers".

Reaktor4 · May 17, 2006

Wiggers are white kids who try to act like black gangsters. Chavs dont.

pomegranate · May 17, 2006

Ren, what part of our fair city are you from?
Quinton/Halesowen here

Unfocused · May 17, 2006

We have the counterpart of a chav in Poland as well. We call it "dresiarz", which in translation would be "tracksuiter" ("tracksuitist"?

). Of course that's because they usually wear tracksuits.

Correct, chavs try to act like wiggers

Dalamari · May 17, 2006

From what I've gathered it's just a wigger with a horrid geordie accent

Cole · May 17, 2006

A person trying to act like a white person trying to act like a black person?

Intresting.... That has got to be......such a sad sight...

SAJ · May 18, 2006

Chavs are -

-Disgusting layabouts.

-trouble causing scumbags.

-tracksuit wearing morons.

-lacking in normal standards of decency.

-possibly gypsies.

-working class, not good working class mind you, but bad ugly ignorant working class .

-not like you or I, no sireee bob.

-a safe repostory for English prejudice.

-a necessary illusion.

Qonfused · May 18, 2006

Mm, a wigger. We have so many here.

shortsite · May 18, 2006

Hi i live in Newcastle (but from Scotland) so its ok about the geordie accent remark. Any way me and my girlfriend were waiting at the metro (the subway to you american dudes

And as I walked round the corner this tit (chav) stuck his chest out like a cockrel and tried to pik a fight with. The platform was packed and as we walked by he started shouting at my girl friend too everyone around us were like just ignore it son hes just an idiot!

Now my friends thats a definition of a chav!

p.s. he waqs also wearing a flithy england top too! no offence to anyone that takes pride in ther national colours he obviousley didnt !

just a thought

I just wanted to kill the guy but that wouldv made me like him and I'm not

ktimekiller · May 18, 2006

I personally hate when a white person tries too hard to act like a black person. Not saying black people are bad, I respect them, but when a white person tries to act like one, it just turns into some utter shit.

shortsite · May 18, 2006

it probably means that they dont have an identity for themselves and look to other peoples ID's for some sort of personal apprectiation.

I hate them but cant do a lot about them !

Do you guys know about the ASBOS we have for these types of idiots ?

Shodan · May 18, 2006

To be honest, I don't think you can really compare a chav to anything, they're pretty unique in their scummyness.

Perfect example.

They don't actually aspire to be anything, such as a "wigger" might, they literally enjoying sitting outside the benefits office, to pick up the money I paid in for them through taxes.

The main problem with them, is breeding, once you get one chav female, they start breeding around the age of 14 (new low - 11) and continue right through to menopause.

The males are just as bad, looking to mate at the same age, one female chav can hope to have up to 10 children in their lifetime, each child becoming another worthless piece of shit.

lol i have a few track jackets, havent worn them in ages though. But i certainly never wear such ridiculous looking baseball caps.

JNightshade · May 18, 2006

Ugh. We have wiggers, but usually, while annoying, they're harmless. Chavs seem awful :x

That is NOT racism. That is stereotyping, and it's all over the TV every night and everyone laughs. I laugh the hardest when comedians stereotype MY race, and usually it's so true. Crossing the line, and being so true - thats what makes it funny. Your opinion may vary.

Carry on. One of the most entertaining threads in a while. =)

Ikerous · May 18, 2006

Racism being funny is how we know our culture has evolved beyond real bigotry
I for one embrace it

OK but don't get the two confused. This is important.

Stereotyping = what you guys said

Racism = hate based on race ... i don't know, look it up. I just don't know how to be racist.

I'm so ****ing tired.

Have you guys seen the TV show "Mind of Mencia"? It's 30 minutes of stereotype insults. Sometimes it's funny. Comedy Central channel, week-nights. It should be on right about now. Cya.

Exactly.

"Hey, I'm gonna get a Kneenex."

"That's not a Kneenex; that's Dove brand."

"...**** you."
