Your Definition

"Chavs" was originally UK anti-Gypsy slang, much like "N*ggers" in the USA.

It has for roughly five years been used as a group name by middle class English youth to describe their [working class] (poorer) [opposite] numbers (usually white and applying to both sexes). It isn't a neutral term: it means ugly, smelly, dirty and so on.

The person using the term most likely considers themselves more sensitive, more artisitc, more open-minded, and more "against teh system!!1!" than the "chavs", and is simply not interested in the following ludicrous ideas:

a) working class people do not all pose a threat to one's health/expensive mobile phone/taxpayer's money(!!11!!)

b) working class people who do pose a threat may do so because of their treatment by the [economic system], and not through their own personalities

c) hating working class people based on the fact they can't afford the same expensive "anti-establishment" (Hot Topic and similar) clothes as you is actually playing straight into the hands of the establishment

d) why is Pete Doherty cool but "OMG some smackhead [on the street] isn't"

e) the working class are "people"
