Answer 8

Chav (pronounced with 'ch' as in chair) also Charv/Charver 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.

The term has also been associated with juvenile delinquency, the "ASBO Generation", "Hoodie culture", and "Yob culture". The accepted etymology for "chav" is that it derives from the Romani word "chavi", meaning a child. Related words derived from the same source include "charva" meaning prostitute (used in north-east England in a similar sense).

Answer 12

Here in UK a chav is similar to a people called 'trailer trash' in the USA.

The word 'chav' (plural chavs) originated in the town of Chatham in Kent (South East England).  The word originally came from the Romany (Roma) language and is meant to be insulting.  A chav is a low-life, a girl with what we call the Croydon facelift - hair pulled back so tight in a pony tail all the double chin etc is pulled up tight and the eyes bulge.  This person also usually wears a pink tracksuit and is perma-pregnant or else just plain fat.

You will know a chav when you see one.
