Chav

Chav- Council house, alcoholic violence Such a definition can already give you a pretty good idea as to what sort of human scum we are dealing with when we are discussing Britain's new social working class. A race of cowardly, ignorant and, above all, stupid people that believe drinking £1 (or cheaper) cider in a bus stop or such venue is a night out "wiv da lads". When approached by one chav, he will often mumble and look down, but approach the very same chav later with his "crew", he will attempt to look "propa hard" by starting a fight (often failing miserably). When threatened, he will not hesitate to call his "crew" into action and they will (somehow) devise a plan to take you to the floor and just kick you til you pass out. Chavs tend to mock those who are different to them, coming up with various witty names such as "gribly", "mosha" or "goff". Such simple vocabulary, often grunted in an exaggerated deep voice by chavs and in a shrill scream by the chavette, the female equivalent, other favourite words and phrases include "mint", "sound", "mush" (some sort of word they use for each other) and "safe". The fact that nearly all chav words are monosyllabic is no coincidence, as this language is linked not only to their intelligence (or rather lack of), but their feeble attempts to seem intimidating.
