its funny how over here in the States Burberry is a most have. But in the Uk is chav. Lol. What do you think?

Question

My fiance came last June and we were at Burberry store, i'm quite fond of that name brand. I have purses and my glasses are Burberry but he says its chav. That Burberry over there is chav.. What do you think?

'chav' (slang) - a young person, often without a high level of education, who follows a particular fashion; Chavs usually wear designer labels including the chav favourite 'Burberry', and if they’re girls, very short skirts, large hoop earrings and stilettos.

Chavs see branded baseball caps as a status symbol and wear them at every opportunity. Normally found hanging around shopping centres.

Also known as Townies, Kevs, Hood Rats, Charvers, Steeks, Stigs, Bazzas, Yarcos, Ratboys, Chorer, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Kappa Slappers, Scallies, and Spides. Also known as Neds in Scotland, knackers & skangers in Ireland, and Guidos in the USA

the def. of Chav I got from www.chavworld.co.uk/chav.htm

Answer 1

Oh, that is outrageous. By your definition of chav Burberry is also chav in the US. We just don't have a word for it. I am so sick of Burberry plaid I could puke. It's makes a cute coat lining but that's about it. All I ever see wearing Burberry is rap and hiphop artists and the wannabes who wannabe like them. Burberry is way overdone and way over and done with.

Answer 2

Burberry is played out.

Answer 3

I never liked Burberry. How far can one pattern go?

Answer 4

burberry is like, out. seriously

by the way what is chav?

Answer 5

Yeah, people love name brands because they think it gives them some kind of status. Like Abercrombie or whatever it's called. That's why I see all these people on the street in NYC buying knock-off Louis Vuitton purses because they think it makes them special. "Jessica Simpson has one, and I wanna be like her!!"
