\"Chav\"
 

We hear the world all the time but what does the word really mean?
Is it to label a type of person?
When you hear or see the word chav what comes into your mind?

Burbery

its an anagram of Jade Goody:whistle:

Name some more :bigsmile:

it means Jade Goody in french:joker:

So the word chav is to label a type of white person?

LOL that pic :laugh:

Is this meant to spring into some sort of debate at a later date? Their Chavs. Like butter is butter, and like gold is gold.

All the info you ever need...

So it's used to insult?

Its a word. Not a fact. Words tend to be flexible. Some people dont take it as an insult, some do. Some see it as a mindset, some see it as a fashion statement. You can see it as a way to say 'Hi!' to the postman if you like.

burberrys a bit ancient now lol. its aquascutum!

:joker:

I did a Google on her and all I see is a slightly more blue shade of the traditional Chav Burberry.

chav isnt used to insult people because chavs call thereselves chavs or neds.
its just a type of person like emos and skaters.
each to there own:D

True, and that is what I am getting at, but it can be used as an insult also. Not amogst Chav's, mind you, but amongst non-Chavs, as in ''those bloody Chavs on the street corners...''

I suppose chav is an offensive word... I wouldn't want to be labelled as a chav. A chav to me is the scum of the country, the people making our country look dirty. Loud music playing in the bus, swearing in the town center at the top of their voices, drunk on our streets, throwing insults at passers by. The world would be better without them.

A chav is like a failed gangster... :laugh:

yeah.
but thats what i dont understand either people hang around the streets but they aint all chavs!

everything uu have just named there isnt a chav!
anyone can play music on the bus. the emos music is probz just as loud on the buses well here anyways. everyone swears:S. people coming out of a pub that r drunk r on the streets haa. not just chavs tho because if chavs walk past skaters then skaters shout insults! basically uu r using the stereotype but then its not really just chavs is it!

SOME chavs are hot though, like really hot

agreeed:D
and they dont all act like the way everyone else says they do!

No, he is right. Pretty much everything he named their I have seen Chav's partake in. Yes, not all Chav's, and yes, some people who play loud music and get drunk on the streets and all that are not all Chav's, but a lot of them are.

exactley. so uu cant stereotype the word chav as being people who do that. cause loads of people do things like that n they aint all chavs!

I don't know where you live but that doesn't happen where I live. I missed out the wearing of trackies, hair gelled to their heads, and constantly smoking weed. A chav to me, in my opinion, when tbh there is no specific definition of chav, but chavs to me are the pathetic useless people that take money from the dole and never have a job and they live to make everyones lives worse.

right ok i do see your point, but uu cant just assume every chav is the same. not all emos slit their wrists[y.

Sure you can, because a lot of them do. And that tends to be the **** way in which the world works. Unfortunately, and as unfair as it can be, stereotypes have to come form somewhere and have to have some basis in truth.

No I agree, I have friends who wear trackies and swear a lot and all that. But I dont call them Chav's because they just dont come accross as chavs. When you see a chav you know if they are a chav or not.

I'ma keep saying this 'cause I had major crush-idge on like 3 chavs before... I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm really really bad :whistle:

yeah well i dont agree. alot of chavs r my friends and hardly any of them do what uu said lol.
dont group everyone the same, yeah ah chav is trackys everyday aquascutum bottles o bucky fighting all the time stoned, but then what about people that dont wear trackies and smoke hash? ...

yup agreed:)

Chavs anger me to the core. They are violent, ignorant scum with no ambitions or education, therefore no job, claiming from the government, wasting tax payer's money on booze and weed, while shouting at and insulting people they pass in the streets. Thety're ****ing scum and all deserve to be shot. Fact.

I dont wear tracksuits and I smoke weed almost everyday. Im not a Chav though :wink:.

All that I am saying is a lot of Chav's are scum. I agree, not all of them are, and im sure you have friends who are not, but the ones who are scums innevitably end up getting stereotyped.

You might notice it is always the negative aspects of a subculture that bring forth the stereotypes, ruining it for everybody else :thumbs:.

i feel the same way but onlu emos anger me. they should all slit their wrists and do it properly.
FACT!

What was that you said about them being violent? Congratulations on missing most of the thread and being a hypocrite.

yup exactley. because if one person classed as a chav does something then all other chavs or people who people class as "chavs" all get labelled too.

Yet its not Emos parading the streets in gangs, beating the **** out of poor innocent people, stabbing teenagers & taking them away from their families is it? It's the scum that are known as Chavs, the disgusting species that don't even deserve to live, let alone going out causing terror on the streets.

For the record, assuming both the Chav and the Emo were both non-violent, I would rather be trapped in a well with the Chav. A lot more down to earth, and they might have a jay :tongue:.

Well, you do have a point. :tongue:

another stereotype:Z
not all chavs go around fighting, and anyone can kill someone not just chavs:S

Besides which, the Emo would blend in too much with the darkness of the well :joker:.
