What exactly is a 'chav' and how do I prevent myself from becomming one?

Answer 1

Chav (pronunciation: [tʃæv]) (also Chavette (female chav), Charv or Charva) is a slang term in wide use throughout the United Kingdom since 2004. It refers to a subcultural stereotype of people with fashions such as flashy "bling" jewellery, Burberry clothing items and designer clothing eg. Adidas, Nike, Timberland; possibly an uneducated and uncultured background; a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets, bus stops, car parks or other shopping areas; and a culture of antisocial behaviour and violence. Many regard chavs to have a musical taste mainly including garage, RnB, and hip hop. Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that it is a new manifestation of classism.

Answer 3

A chav is an ignorant, uneducated, person of the lower class. I would say that in order to avoid becoming one, stay in school, if you have graduated, then I don't think that you should have the problem of becoming one! Hope this helps!
