ur going to have knobheads where ever u go and in all sections of society. thats what they need to be called "knobheads", "twats", "stnuc", not "chavs" or woteva, its almost cringe worthy how people like to continue this kinda segregation.

u have firms who like to fight at football matches, u have governments who like to invade other countries. its all real. there are nice people in this world and there are stnuc in this world. thats what the stnuc need to be recognised as stnuc. not a billion other different names.

its like the annoying little shit at a childrens nursery. when he causes a problem, instead of wagging ur finger at him and calling him a naughty boy, he needs to be pulled out from the rest of the nice children and made to sit on his own until hes made to feel like a fucking twat for throwing jam at one of the other kids or wotever. THATS THE ROOT OF EVIL - someone thinking they are ENTITLED to do something negative to another person, just cos they can

very good point. that seems to be the problem with kids these days. all this happy-clapping "aren't kids wonderful" even though they're little shits attitude that so many parents seem to have these days. kids grow up thinking the world owes them something and end up finding out the hard way that they aren't anything special. todays problem children are tomorrows criminals, and a lot of it stems from lax parenting

This^^^^

Its that rudeboy, alco pop, bing drinking, spend more money on my car than my car is worth, arrogant, malicious....just nasty piece of work typ of pople, usually found in small towns/suburbs.

course there are steriotypes, like wearing burrberry, but I don't belive in steriotyping people, yet if I meet someone and the fill the criteria then calling them a chav is credible

THis aswell;

^^ I do agree with not using as dergoatory but it is usually the violent types who choose to dress like this regardless of class!

seconded...
Bear in mind its a name for a type of person just like emo or goth or Nu-Rave, and is, imo, no way offensive, as its simply the naem that describes the typoe of person they LOOK like...

Thin Cap, dripping with gold, reebok classics, Polo Shirt full tracksuit and a rottweiler = Chav..

What do you really think about the word 'chav'?

Is use of the word chav acceptable & credible?
