I know the word 'chav' entered the linguistic repertoire in 2005, but we have been using the word 'charva' for much longer than that here in the North and it was, in fact, a word mostly used by the working class.

So no, I have no problem using the word 'chav' or any of its variants. If you don't want to be called one, try not hurling abuse at everyone who walks past you or mugging old ladies.
