"You're a Chav but you don't know it."

[Rocko]

Without taking the Chav test, would you ever honestly admit to being a Chav?

Funny thing is most people don't realise they're Chavs. One thing you should never do is tell a Chav they're a Chav.

Have you ever been called a Chav? At least simply based on your appearance?

Take a step further if you dare. Do you know of any Chavs or Chavette's here? :cheer2:

[Hugo]

I'm the complete opposite. :laugh2:

[Jen]

Never been called one.
Never been one...
Most of my friends were chavs....
They have seen the light now... :D

[Sod_James]

Well if im a chav and i dont know it then im not bothered. cos what i dont know doesnt hurt me lol.

[Ross]

I like to wear joggers/trackies/hoodies and that around the house when I'm going commando.

I wouldn't dare wear trackies to go clothes shopping though.

[LemonJam]

I wuz cald a chav by a load of small ppl on da bus. I wasnt wearin trackies or nefink. I dnt git y. :sad:

[Lauren]

Chav is primarily used as an insult.
It's a negatively connotative word, not just the name of a "subgroup"

So calling yourself it would be silly.

[Princess]

Never been called a chav,an emo when I was wearing my black and bright green TT hoody until people realised it was a Take That hoody.

Don't know any chavs either(or knackers as well call them).

[Locke.]

Everyone at college thought I was in the first week until they got to know me :puzzled:
And 90% of my friends are.

[Fom]

Im a chav during the week :)
With my newly shaved head... wearing all blacks for college and wearing trackies for college... I look like a right chav :)

[Tom]

I was one ... :laugh2:

I'm from up north though, I'm allowed

[MrGaryy]

Ugh chavs are the scum of the earth, lol!

I'm the furthest thing from being a chac, an emo maybe.

[Xander]

Never been called a Chav, I do not behave like one would, certainly don't dress like one (complete opposite).
Yeah I own like these casual tracksuit bottoms, but there for around the house, dog walking, popping down to the local shops, like when people wouldn't really care and there really isn't any other suitable clothing for those moments.

[Hugo]

I always wear these casual/tracksuit bottoms;

Have sooo many pairs.

[Tom4784]

I wear clothes i'm comfortable in so I'm often wearing sporty type clothes and such so I kinda dress like one unintentionally but I'm pretty far from a Chav. I hate rap music, I couldn't care less about pimpin' cars and I'm not a yob lol.

[melanie]

By the way you guys describe chav, I guess every kid in my city is one.

I mean yeah, why dress up for cutting the grass? LOL

But really I'm not Chav. :bigsmile:
My speech, mannerism, dress sense, behaviour is nothing of those to a stereotypical chav.

No, not at all. He's what I call anyway, or what we call in Wales 'Trendy' - he's hot too. :lovedup:

[pinkmichk]

lol i wouldnt dress up for it but i did ruin a pair of jeans so went for the comfort and not fussed if they get ruined

[Billy]

I wear trackies out and about like to the shop or if Im sitting in, but I wouldn't say I was a chav or ned as we call them in Scotland. I don't drink on street corners, only in a house + I don't play music from my phone on the back of the bus.

Hmm, a little bit. the t-shirt and cap is quite chavy but the rest is good. Very good! :wink::whistle::tongue:

[hannah.]

i'd say yeah. People used to dress like that all the time down here, but not so much anymore. No offence, but if someone at my college did, i'd probably laugh at them :laugh: It's the cap that gets me

[Ruth]

I've never been a chav, and never been called one. I would be offended if I was called one!

[supernoodles!]

ive been called a chav before,by my ex bf.
He was into slipknot and metallica and the like:yuk:and his words were 'you are a chav becuase you wear uggs and have a juicy couture handbag and lacoste perfume and you wear make up,but it doesn`t matter because you are a 'hot chav' '
I was so flattered,such touching words.

he was a freak anyway.

[AngRemembered]

well I'm not a chav I dont even like chewing gum...:spin:

[Sam]

It's the hairstyles which I hate. I know some chavs have no hair, or very little cut in a terrible way, but I really don't like the chavs with terrible highlights. :yuk:

lol i've been called a chav and i like slipknot

[Tom]

tbh I don't even think people say chav knowing what it means, most people associate it with burberry, benefits, council housing, adidas trackies, gold (especially sovereigns) etc.

I've been called one before, not seriously though, because I wear grey jogging bottoms a lot (especially into college when I used to go), because I like the gym and have short hair ...

[supernoodles!]

thats the thing i hate about emos and goths they think anyone thats not like them is a chav.

[Tom]

the thing that makes me laugh about emos and goths is that they call you a chav if you're wearing a hoodie ... yet they're probably wearing one as well!

[supernoodles!]

on the whole there so up themselves

[Indierock&roll]

im definatly not a chav..
the people who i say are chavs are people who take pictures of themselves pouting and doing peace .. why? its just vile
and wearing crap from shops like storm and b:u haha , fake ugg boots , caked in make up with tonnes of blusher and listen to crap like basshunter and put it on there phones dead loud at the back of the bus thinking there amazing ar it makes me sick

[Indierock&roll]

i hate the way lads who wear black tackies 24/7 and ride on bikes and wear "loweys" would probbaly like beat up goths and that for wearing black its like WTF YOUR WEARING BLACK ASWELL GET SOME COLOUR IN YOUR LIFE!
annoys me so much

[hannah.]

Originally posted by supernoodles!

yes but a lot of people do the same the other way round?!

[supernoodles!]

not so much becuase chavs on the whole don`t look at me and think goth/emo yet ive been called a chav by a goth/emo.

[Wildcat!]

What the hell does that mean?

[Fom]

Me and my mum call chavs "Goth Cockroaches"
All they where is black, and they only come out at night... they are just as bad as goths haha. Supernoodles, dont diss Slipknot and Metallica, they are amazing bands :wink:


When I used to hang out on the skate park I was called a goth once by a group of chavs... even though I was wearing coloured fingerless gloves. The amount of times i got "Mosher" shouted at me everytime I walked down the street as a kid from chavs. They are the worst for it.
There is just general hate for each other, I get along with both sides now, I dress more normally these days and I talk to "Chavs" in college and I go to rock clubs with "Moshers" I dont like using the terms for my friends, sounds a bit offensive.
My mates are more metal heads than moshers anyway, moshers to me are those long haired boring people who wear really baggy jeans and rock t-shirts. My mates dress like a rocker but not a mosher... but because they look different they get classed as a mosher. Chavs dont like anything different in their world... they dont get out much you see!

[supernoodles!]

sorry i just think there **** personally

[Benjamin]

Chav = Council House and Violent (C.H.A.V.).:spin2:

well then surely you're more of a chav than a goth or an emo? I'm not saying you're actually a chav, but if the chavs and their weird mentalities accept your attire then they don't see you as too much of a different species :laugh:

I think normal people are nicer and better people because they seem to be happier and I think being happy is really important.

exactly what i would have said

[hannah.]

i didn't say goths vs normal people, i said goths vs chavs

[xDramatick]

Originally posted by hannahhhh

and I agree with you.
Anyone that'd be classed as goth/scene/emo are MUCH nicer than anyone would be classed as a chav. I've been labelled emo many times, I can see where it came from but I wouldn't personally say that I'm in that category, however, I do tend to get on with those sorta people. I can only think of a handful of 'chavs' that me/my mates get on with.
Most of them just go 'eurgh you're weird/emo/gay'

[hannah.]

I'm not remotely goth or emo, that's the thing, but I used to be and I have friends who are both emo and chav, and obviously this is a geenralisation but I've found emos to be nicer. are emos going round stabbing people and getting pregnant at 12? Because i'd certainly say that the majority of the people in Britain doing these things are chavs.

Getting pregnant doesnt make you any less nice though?

[NettoSuperstar!]

I went thru a chav phase circa 93 mind you I was smoking a lot of weed back then I think it addled the brain! Btw I dont do that now and I wouldnt recomend it kids! baad very baaad!

[30stone]

I was a chav for like a year.

still wear tracksuit bottoms like 5 - 6 days a week lol but thats gym

Otherwise im in jeans now


Dont like either side though.

Going out..
Id never wear tracksuit bottoms or skinny jeans.
Converse or nike airs.
Colourful or sports hoodies.

dont like either style.

[*mazedsalv**]

I come from a sort of posh county (Surrey), but wuite rough area(Woking). And I listen to Bassline, Techno, Electro, RnB music, Im not sure if thats chavy, but I do have words that I say that may be a bit chavy. But on the otehr hand, I dont act like one,and i never go out in a hoodie and tracksuit.

[Jake!]

I'm a chav, and what?
It don't affect my social life I have enough friends and get on with so many people from different areas and races.
And yes I do see a little chaviness in some people on here?

[james_h]

I guess, I don't really mind chavs as long as they don't start getting cocky with me. The way they dress doesn't annoy me, just some of the things they do. don't get me wrong, I'm not saying every chav does this but some do.

[BB_Eye]

I hate cliques, but I also hate poseurs so out of every dumb, badly-dressed subculture, chavs would have to be the ones I dislike the least.

[Indierock&roll]

most people i know are more normal and talk to anyone..
like there are emo's and all that and chavs but everyone just doesnt care anymore..

[Killian]

I'm going as one for Halloween, so... no. :joker:

[*mazedsalv**]

I dont like how chavs are painted as bad people that nick stuff and do bad things. I know and have come across many chavs and they are exactly like everyone else, they are actually well mannered, the only thing that they do that makes them look like a chave is the few words they say and what they wear.

Now, around last week I bumped into a "chav" and I said "Oops, Sorry" and they replied "Naa, dont worry about it mate". If this was Hollyoaks and a character did that, the chav would of probably beaten the person up.

Also quite a while ago, I saw a 70-80 year old carrying Waitrose bags and she dropped one of them, someone in a hoody and smoking a ciggerette helped her, when he approached her she got really scared, but he helped her and handed her the bag back and she thanked him.

Edit- I walked into my lesson chewing gum once and my teacher (who's in his mid 20s) he said "Can you please chew less like a chav?" and then laughed. Since when is chewing gum chavy? I even told him, and he was like "Whatever chav!", he's a funny bloke though.
