Chav is a derogatory slang term in popular usage throughout the UK. It refers to a subculture stereotype of a person who is uneducated, uncultured and prone to antisocial or immoral behaviour. The label is typically, though not exclusively, applied to teenagers and young adults of white working-class or lower-middle class origin. Chav is used for both sexes, where a male chav is sometimes referred to as a chavster and a female as a chavette. ...

The term 'CHAV' is actually an abbreviation for 'Council House Associated Vermin.' Some will label a person a 'Chav' for any number of reasons, the most popular being a criticism of what a person is wearing. Popular celebrities who have been labelled as 'Chav's' include any member of the girl band 'girls allowed,' most partners of premiership footballers and 'Lady Sovereign' but to name a few.
For some reason or another this term has been allowed to be circulated though the populous of Great Britain which I think is abysmal. It is yet another unnecessary stereotype which has been used to undermine a whole social group which can only be a bad thing for our country.

A chav is exactly the same thing as a scally and is basically a trouble maker.
