wtf is a chav.?

Chav is a slang term, usually derogatory, used in the United Kingdom to define lower-class youths seen as tawdry hooligans.

The word Chav is thought to be from the mid-19th century Romany word chavi, meaning child. It is sometimes, incorrectly, claimed to be an acronym of "Council Housed And Violent".

Similar terms include Pikey and Townie, as well as Bam, Barry Boy, Bazza, Charver, Chavalier, Chavette, Chavster, Dumbo, Gazza, Hood Rat, Janner, Kappa Slapper (as portrayed in the BBC comedy series ''Little Britain'' by Matt Lucas as Vicky Pollard), Kev, Knacker, Ned, Ratboy, Rudeboy, Rudie, Scally, Schemie, Scutter, Shazza, Skanger, Spide, Steek, Stig, and Yarco.??
