FYI
The origin of the word Chav is the Romany or Gypsy word for Child but has come to mean something vulgar and derogatory in the UK despite the fact that many people proudly proclaim themselves to be Chavs.
It's rather like "Trailer Trash" or "White Trash" in America but with more delusion.

Well I live in Spain, and I've been to France a lot, and there don't seem to be "chavs" in either of these countries.

Newcastle is swarming with them. However some of my mates are chavs and many of them are alright but most of them are little sh*ts who need a good kicking into next week

yeah, we have websites dedicated to the chavs and even have celebrity chavs, and they're given a pretty raw deal.....whether this is deserved depends on whether you are one or not.

We have them in Australia, but they are called Bogans. They are also a bit friendlier than chavs.

If a chav is what was stated above as "white trash" of course the USA has them, we just call them what they are..."WHITE TRASH"
And there seems to be alot in New York... :)

I'm sure horrible foul-mouthed aggressive badly dressed cheap gold jewellery-wearing useless benefit scrounging f*ckwits exist in other parts of the world, but no-one else has such a high proportion of them as we do. Round here (east of Scotland) they are known as Schemies.

Oh hell yes...
And a semi-automatic rifle would come in very useful...
We have Chavs and Hoodies and ASBO's!!
