chavs wear matching top and pants in track suits and they all have a snide logo. (snide meaning fake)

Chav / Chavvie is a romany word that has been around for centuries, I believe it means Kid, but the sun newspaper would probably like to take the credit for coining the phrase

It has also been said that the word chav is used to describe a Chatham native

ASBO - Anti Social Behaviour Order

all very clear, thanx. they sound like what we would call well dressed crack-heads. although here there rarely well dressed unless they've just pulled a good score.

I should think most Gypsies would be appalled at its modern meaning. I'd sooner have them as neighbours any day.

Actually, I always thought it was an acronym for Council House And Violent, or is that what the Sun said?

CHAV also stands for Council House Aggressively Violent!

The Beckhams are the best examples of chavs - tacky life style.
