QUOTE(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav)
Chav is popular slang term that originated in England but is now used throughout the United Kingdom. It is usually used in a derogatory fashion, referring to a subcultural stereotype of a person with:
fashions such as flashy "bling" jewellery and/or counterfeit designer clothes (particularly Burberry);
a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets or other shopping areas;
a culture of antisocial behaviour.
In the past such people have been called yobs. Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that the term is a new manifestation of classism.
