Alright then team, here's one:

Some of you may have read Missilez_Inc's previous posts about "chavs". His usage was the first time I'd ever encountered such a word, but it's becoming more and more evident in daily usage.

For those of you who don't know what a "chav" might be, or for those that do, but want to know more, I've found a wonderful and informative website:

http://www.chavscum.co.uk/

Burberry caps and Reebok Classics all round!

Very funny, and for our non-UK friends a unique insight into the bottom of Britain's barrel. I particularly recommend "How to spot a chav" and the forum.

But the question is - am I actually being a snob here? Is this really just a snipe at poor people, or a much needed light shone into the dark, dank corners of society? Please discuss...

(By the way, any true-life examples of chavs at large are most welcome).

Right - I'm off to stick a blue neon light under my Renault Laguna...

Interesting website. "Townie" is the term I've heard...

We have LOADS of them where I live. I have been to that North Kent town in the bottom section of the photos bit, and it is Sittingbourne. Trust me. That sight is NOT uncommon. The chavs in my town don't have a MacDonalds so they just hang around on a solitary bench outside the chip shop.

In case anyone wonders, they are NOT exagerating in their chav descriptions.

Do you hate the people who have posted here, or the chavs that are the subject of the thread?

Last I heard, the townies were the cool guys, but now theyve changed their names to trendies... Grungies are the group I dislike... dislike their clothes, attitude, and the fact that over 75% of my school smokes directly outside it breaking the law but the police and teachers do nothing. Fools.
Chavs aren't necessarily poor... perhaps delinquent, but many are rich, just incredibly idiotic and rather.... yobbish...

Whats wrong with Reebok Classics... I like 'em personally

Oh. and Burberry is seriously the big new fashionable style in my town. I mean it is really big, especially with the trendies. I think chavs were it too tho.

Are they the guys whose greeting, whether on the phone, or not, formal or nay is: "What ya say, boy?"

We don't really have chavs, but we do have wiggers. You know, the wonderful ones who are white as bloody snow and talk like they are ghetto, and "From da hood"?

Not only that, but a lot of the black people I meet are damned arrogant. They think just because some guy held their great grandfather as a slave, I have something to do with it. My family wasn't even here at the time, the roots still thick in Holland and the Slavik countries.

I find the best way to deal with a wigger is just to look at them and smile. Then if they make a "Yo Momma" crack, politely demonstrate what happens when his stomach encounters his teeth.

your just being snobs, and those guys at the chavscum forum are just low, they are probably only annoyed because they get bullyd everday of there lives.
most townies just live in a lower class area, and to avoid getting beaten up, they just wear the same clothes as the 'cool' kids at school, and then some asshole snob thinks there scum becuse they see them on the street, im a townie, gonna shoot me? but i dont wear crap clothes/jewlery

that lin k pissed me off

We have a lot of those people here, they are in general poor and ugly clothing. They have a low level of education and hang out in groups. They seek fights with everyone they come across.

It's lame to quote yourself - aom dude

I can assume by your reaction, HG_Kobayashi, that you are on the borderline of being a Chav (hate the word...), and thus found it offensive because you dont see yourself in that light. Fair enough.

@AOM Dude. I love your description, its perfect. I also like the way you make it sound like they're animals that you are doing a documentary upon...

Accurate, straight-to-the-point description, aom dude.

Im form the UK and i dont have a clue wat the hell a chav is.

Heres the basic vocab for u guys.

Kev
Pikey
Batty Boy
Knobend
Bellend
Neek

I think thats it.

Well ive read a chav is liek a kev and thats just u guys calling them kevs/chavs because ur just being snobbish. Ive got a guy like that at my school who pretends to be hard at the private school we go to, but hes really pretty cool though.

I am not being a snob. I don't think ANYONE wants anyone to come up to them and say "Gissa fag". When you say "I don't smoke" they say "Well you're a prick then intcha!!!"

(Actually happened).

I think it's more like: "Do they have to smoke up the front of the mall? Don't they have anything else to do? Why do I have to wade through them to get to the mall?"

Just my opinion.
