Chav
Chav is a slang term in popular usage throughout the United Kingdom, usually used in a derogatory fashion, referring to a subcultural stereotype of a person with: fashions such as flashy 'bling' jewellery and/or flat fronted, occasionally Burberry caps; congregating around places (sometimes known as chavaramas) such as fast-food outlets or other shopping areas; a concentrated music taste (centred loosely around drum and bass, rap and hip hop); and a culture of antisocial behaviour.
