Ooh boy, where do I start? Chav is popular slang term that originated in England but is now used throughout the United Kingdom. It is usually used in a derogatory fashion, referring to a subcultural stereotype of a person with: - fashions such as flashy "bling" jewellery and/or counterfeit designer clothes (particularly Burberry);
- a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets or other shopping areas;
- a culture of antisocial behaviour.
In the past such people have been called yobs. Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that the term is a new manifestation of classism. UsageThough "chav" has similarities to American terms such as "white trash" and "trailer trash", it does not bear the racial overtones of its American counterparts, and, according to the stereotype, many supposed chavs belong to multi-ethnic inner city communities such as London council estates. Elements of the stereotype The stereotypical chav is someone who: - wears particular clothing, such as:
- Brand name athletic clothing and shoes. Stereotypically, this might include white trainers and tracksuits.
- Fake designer clothing and accessories, in particular the distinctive tartan of Burberry, similar to (and perhaps derived from) the casuals of football supporters.
- "Bling": that is, gaudy gold jewellery - in particular conspicuous earrings and trinkets on chains for women, and gold sovereign rings for men.
- Sports caps and hoodies. Often both are worn, the hood pulled up over the baseball cap, thus obscuring the wearer's face.
- Sports or jogging trousers, often tucked into white sports socks. These are also referred to as tracky b's, trackies or tracky bottoms.
- if female, wears thickly applied make-up, makes heavy use of fake tan, and has a hairstyle in which the hair is pulled back into a tight bun or ponytail, and stilettos.
- is associated with with crass, drunken behaviour and minor criminal activities. This includes unprovoked attacks on members of the public (see happy slapping), vandalism, verbal abuse and drug abuse. This may be carried out under the influence of cheap alcohol, often after the pubs have closed.
- lives on housing estates and other low-income neighbourhoods.
- owns large, dangerous attack dogs.
- owns a tastelessly modified car, usually with a basic original specification, but decorated in the style popularized by the film The Fast and the Furious. A high specification music system with amplified bass may also be included.
- takes part in under-aged drinking and sex (and, consequently, is associated with teen pregnancy).
- congregates and loiters in areas such as shopping centres, outside off-licences and fastfood carparks.
- is fond of texting language slang.
- pronounces English in a style that is seen to be unsophisticated and characterised by slack diction - for example, the pronunciation of "thing" as "fing".
