Chav - thought to come from the town Cheltenham, where the private school girls would use the term chav to describe the locals of Cheltenham, short for Cheltenham average. Typically drinking energy drinks on street corners, wearing track suits but never exercising, having greasy hair (which a girl would have in an excessively tight pony tail)
