Generally pertaining to the Proletariat class, a Chav is a person who possesses a significant number of negative stereotypical traits. They do not however, necessarily have to be from the Proletariat class. The word Chav comes from a Gypsy word meaning child and is typically synonymous with the word peasant. However, whence used in correlation alongside a middle-classed individual it is obviously only associated with stereotypical negative traits commonly found within their inherent caste base. Such as; snobbery, ignorance, greed, lack of sporting prowess, vanity, etc.. A middle class Chav may be termed a Mav (Middle-class Chav.) Katie Hopkins is a perfectly acceptable example of what may be termed as a middle classed Chav, or Mav. This term is offensive to many and because of its inherently obvious comparability to the expressions pleb, and peasant, it may some day be considered a hate crime to call someone this in public.
