Chavs

I hope if you are reading this that you are indeed not a chav.  Every time I get on public transport I see them, which is part of my reason for preferring to drive everywhere that it is possible to.

Is it offensive to label someone as a chav?  I imagine so.  I’d definitely be offended if someone were to label me a chav, but what about the people who fit the definition and behave according to the definition?  Do they like being called chavs?  Well, there is no interview with a chav to follow - just me having a rant..

What is a chav?  Well, firstly lets consult Wikipedia as you do..  Wiki says..

Chav (pronounced /ʧæv/) also Charv/Charver (pronounced /ʧɑːv/) are mainly derogatory slang terms in the United Kingdom for a stereotype fixated on low quality or counterfeit goods. It commonly refers to those belonging to a youth sub-culture, often stereotypically associated with a low socio-economic class, a striking dress sense and criminal activity.
