[easypeasy]

people are confusing "chav" with being "street".........people have been saying "innit" for a long time before the concept of "chav" was born.

[Daryl]

I know! The fact that it's even a discussion is baffling me! How can somebody, even Aisleyene's number 1 fan, not see that she's a chav?

It was just funny how she followed it with the current chav phrase 'init'

hehe.

And btw - 'innit' is at least 10 years old.

Chav's do not exist in London. This word is used to generalise kids that are not into skating or grunge music but like to hang about on the street.

If you call Aisleyne a chav you are so ignorant its unbelievable. I've noticed the word chav is used in mainly outter-city areas for young white people that like garage/grime/rap music.

Who here has seen Aisleyne in a burberry cap? Now that's a real chav for ya

innit goes back a lot farther than that. I remember hearing it around '88 when I first came to London. I think some people have been using it since the '60s at least.

Chav is from "Chavvie boy" which is some pikey talk *I think*. People will try tell you its an abbreviation for Council House and Vandals but don't listen to them because you heard it here first baby from the Big Slezer .

True, any time someone tells you a word gets its origin from an acronym (like Council House and Vandals, or For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, or any other examples), you can be 99.999% certain it's an urban myth. Almost no word ever emerges that way.

Just for the heck of it, I did a little looking up on "innit" and found a textbook talking about it being used in the '80s and even the '70s.

From a couple other things I just looked up, it seems to have originated in Wales back in the '60s, mostly with Asian immigrants.

For what it's worth.
