Chav is a slang term which has been in wide use throughout the United Kingdom since around 2000 � though probably has older, regional roots. It refers to a subcultural stereotype of a person with fashions such as flashy 'bling' jewellery and counterfeit designer clothes or sportswear, an uneducated, uncultured, impoverished background, a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets, bus stops, or other shopping areas, and a culture of antisocial behaviour.
Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that it is a new manifestation of classism.

This little program will work whenever you are online. It lets you "Alt + Click" on any word and know immediately (well close to immediately) what the meaning of that word is. It also gives pronunciation and if the word is a name it gives statistics. (It's also great for checking your spelling of a word!)
i've used the program for quite a while and am always amazed at how handy it is. You WILL definitely wonder how you got along without this program.
