Am I a Chav?

There has been quite a lot of acrimony (great word, thanks to whoever showed me it) on this messagboard today, and much of it was centered around yours truly. It got me wondering, maybe I'm a chav? Put your vote in, based on what you heard from me over the past few months.

Some of it has to be about my bulimia joke; it was a joke, nothing more, I'm not encouraging anyone to become emaciated for the purpose of looking good, mainly because they don't look good without a healthy amount of fat on their body. Without curves, a girl looks pre-pubecent. I say be comfortable with who you are.

So tell me, am I a chav? If I am, I will wear the badge with pride.
 
Definately not. You don't seem chav-ish at all. Anyway I thought chavs were a British thing- with the burberry caps and the Nike Shocks?
 
You're not a chav. You don't live in a run-down part of the UK, wear baseball caps, scooby doo socks, big gold sovereign rings, fake Burberry, and Adidas 3 stripe tracksuits.

(At least you don't look like you do :rolleyes: )

Beckiboo, can I ask - how long have you used the word chav? Its new to me in Manchester. In our area we always knew them as Skally's, then the word chav came along - very confused...

I've used it for quite a while now I think :?: (Not like it's a huge part of my vocabulary or anything but you get what I mean :lol: ). I've known them as scally's aswell. In my own Chav days (yes I did used to be one :oops: ) we used to call them rudeboys/girls.

same here! i think it got here about a month or 2 ago lol,travelled fast ay
 
Chav is a personality not an image :confused:

a chav will argue with innocent people, cause trouble, shout and swear walking down the street, walk about in gangs, fight, steal, listen to dave pearce (joking ;) :) ) ....... just trouble in general.

There are lots of people who dress like chavs but dont cause any trouble at all and are genuine people! It's to do with the up bringing and area imo.

and.... your not a chav :confused:
 
It's been around ages, i've known of it since i worked on fun fairs in 1995/1996, the carneys all called travellers/gypsy's "chavs". They also used the word "chaps" a lot.

It only got more popular in the UK in the last two years or so though. I never use it mysefl, preferring to call that sort just general scum or pikeys.
