We don't have them in the USA, so I want to know why the English hate them.

Because they basically take the very worst things about American society, throw them together, and act that way. It's disgusting.

Your closest equivalent would be "wiggers".

I'll just repost what I wrote in the other thred:

What's a chav?
Also known as a scally, ned or townie filth.

Council estate kids, usually white, either emaciated or obese, wearing synthetic tracksuit bottoms (typically Adidas), a Kappa Brother shell suit or hoodie, and absurd running shoes not actually fit for running. Chunky gold rings, earrings and necklaces are usually worn. They will often be in large groups, passing around a 3-litre bottle of cheap cider and kicking aimlessly at any object they come across in the street.

They'll usually say stuff like "Naa! Naa! What the fook ya lookin' a' ya fookin ****?"

The males are much the same.

The English don't.

A very small percentage of our population do 'hate chavs' however, or at least use that as an excuse to feel superior to anyone who lives on a council home or who doesn't conform to their view of how people should behave.

EDIT* And it looks as though some of those 'chav haters' are on this board! :D

The hilarious thing is, any reasonably fit guy could either outrun the obese ones, or break the emaciated ones in half. This is why they hang out in groups of around a dozen. They are only "well 'ard" in very large numbers.

Chav's can be quite funny, really.

This is what a Chav is

The English don't.

I think you'd actually find that a large percentage of the English population hate chavs. They are everything that Tony Blair is trying to stamp out, under the umbrella of "yob culture". They throw bricks through people's windows, steal anything that isn't nailed down (nailed down things take a little bit longer), and every other word out of their mouth is either insulting, swearing, or both.

What's with tucking your track-suit trousers into your socks, wearing a baseball cap at night, and hanging around in groups of mindless monkeys anyway?

Really? Oh I live in a rather quiet town, so it figures that we've been left behind with the recent lynchings and whatnot...

Good to see that people can still make sweeping generalisations about groups of people at the drop of the hat, kudos.

English ARE fucking wankers...

unfortunately it's not only council estate kids, my sweet, middle class step brother has turned into one :( it''s so sad

English ARE fucking wankers...
I'll politely ask you to fuck off.

Taking from urban dictionary.com:

Picture this a young lad about 12 years of age and 4 ½ feet high baseball cap at ninety degrees in a imitation addidas tracksuit, with trouser legs tucked into his socks (of course, is definitely the height of fashion). This lad is strutting around, fag in one hand jewellery al over the over, outside McDonalds acting as if he is 8 foot tall and built like a rugby player, when some poor unsuspecting adult (about 17/18) walks round the corner wanting to go to mcdonalds for his dinner glances at the young lad, the young lad jumps up in complete disgust and says “Whats your problem? Wanna make sommin of it? Bling Bling” when the adult starts to walk towards the young lad, the young lad pisses himself and runs off to either his pregnant 14-year-old girlfriend or his brother in the army crying his eyes out.

Except where I live they scream (in very high pitched voices) "YA STARTIN'?!?!!?!?"

I actually wear clothes very similar to those the guy's wearing, only my jeans are black and not-that-worn. :p
This makes me a "chav"?

I think the "chav" is actually pointing to the girl, but yeah, the baseball cap on the guy, when it's quite clearly not even a sunny day, show's he seems to think himself one too...

If you've got Burberry and keep going round saying "Wotch you lookin' at" or "Fookin wanka!"

please visit the country 'kasabia'. its anti chav. it has an intresting motto and animal

i try my hardest to be tolerant, but i fuckin hate townies :mad:
overly-aggressive little pricks

If you've got Burberry and keep going round saying "Wotch you lookin' at" or "Fookin wanka!"
Nope, don't have Burberry and definately don't go round saying those things... In fact, if someone walks up to me saying crap like that, I'll promptly punch him in the face. ;)

Ahh. In which case you're not a Chav, so go in peace my friend ;)

English ARE fucking wankers...

Or not... I am an english person and take great offence to your comment.
Each and every country has their own bunch of wankers-ours happen to be the chavs/townies.

I lived in America for 8 years and although i met some awful Valley Girls, i didnt ever see any chavs (or not where i lived in Coppell, Texas anyway..)

Anyway, chavs suck, English people are okay and so is every other culture.

Peace out. :)

Council Housed And Violent, CHAV. That pretty much sums them up. Violent little bastards, with little shits for children.

I saw a chavling the other day, he thought he was really hard, about 7 or 8. He attempted to throw his empty bottle of lucozade or whatever it was over a fence, it bounced off and hit him. Classic, even bottles hate CHAVS.

Note Violent

lol :D

Chav related stories, hoorah!

I remember getting on a bus a few weeks back, and was followed on by a Chav. As I sat he noticed his mate sprawled over the back seat. " 'ere, bay, 'ows yoo doin?"
"Grand bay, 'ows yoo?"
"Grand. 'ere, didn I see yoo wiv sum bird laz night ya ****?"
"Ya"
"So wot 'appened innit?"
" 'ad a good night. Caved 'er **** in, ya ****!"

Sadly, a true story!
Any one got any more?

If anyone wants an excuse to come chav hunting, my little village is infested. Infact, I think we have the King chav and his perma-pregnant 14yr old wife living nearby. Who knows, take out the head chav and you might destroy their culture. Or create a power vacuum that consumes us all.

Anyway, to kill them you'd have to get past the interbred scary psychotic dogs and children surrounding the house, and I doubt you would escape with your life.

And for all those people who say some chavs are good people: Yes it's true, but many are cocky wankers who piss me off eternally by coming up to me in town and trying to hit me because I 'looked at 'em as if I thought I was summink, dirty little mosher shite face ****'. Seriously, the number of times I've been asked if I know someone because they were going to twat me, only for me to reply 'Yes, I know him, I went to school with him he seemed alright' or, alternatively, just 'fuck off' - I swear I've lost count.

It's affecting me deeply. My motto says 'Chavs must die' at the beginning.

Ya startin? You know Yankee culture is getting retarded when little european kids are doing shit like this, lol...
Yankee culture? Are you trying to blame this on the USA?

We've got a few wiggers, but apparently nothing like the number of chavs you guys have. I hardly ever see any, and don't pay them any mind when I do. None have ever tried anything with me.

One thought he was being cool the other day by calling me a 'Crazy Fool'. WTF, are they all emulating Mr. T now?

I ain't gettin on no plane, foo' - the newest insult in the world of chav

Yah, I live in America. We have "chavs" here, just call 'em wiggers. Backwards/sideways baseball cap, South Pole or Fubu tops, lots of pointless "gold" jewelry, fake track pants and shoes. Usually Michael Jordans or Nikes, which were bought for them by their mothers. They try hanging out with black people, who hate them even more than the rest of us. They often hang out with each other, swearing continuously, etc. Usually live in apartment blocks, I guess they are like council homes. The worst kind live in the suburbs, and usually don't even know that many black people. Even worse is the fact that these shits are getting to be considered a popular thing to be in America, mainly because popular culture over here is moving more and more towards MTV style rap, with guest stars being Korn etc. Sucks for American metal. A very good example of one: http://hookersandblow.typepad.com/hookers_blow/thaphatbeater.jpg

im quite good freinds with some townies, who are good, good people.


BUT, in my sixth form, id say 60% are chavs. and they are nearly all arses. they are arrogant, ignorant, narrow minded, pool playing, selfish, holier-than-thou stuck up prats.

i have one amusing story. i was in the common room one day, and for most of the morning a chav rapper was bleating away from the stereo. i waited for the CD to finish, and when they were distracted by the pool table, i wandered over to the stereo and took out their CD, laying it next to the stereo in the established way. as i was pressing play, a delightful chav who ive had the pleasure of knowing for about 6 years now, called leon, shouted out 'wha the fook choo doin?' in the normal manner.
'im putting my CD on ok?' said i 'fook off mate' said he
'well yours has been on all day'
'fook off'
'well dont you think its our turn to have the stereo now?'
'fook off'
'are you gonna say anything except fook off?'
'fook off you prick'
'oh good'
i put my CD on, craned up the volume, and walked back to my seat. soon enough, the delightful noise of the libertines was replaced my fiddy cent or whoever.
there followed a stand off of changing music every few seconds, until it ended somehow, but i cant think how. oh yes, i had to go to a lesson, whilst they continued playing pool. all day.

Except where I live they scream (in very high pitched voices) "YA STARTIN'?!?!!?!?"
Haven't heard that in years! It usually came from a very lippy small one, and the moment you squared up to him his two huge mates would appear out of nowhere. Always in multiples of three, they come.

Grew up in Manchester, but now live in the quiet of the Westcountry. Has anyone mentioned that they are also known as bezzas?

Please note: I don't hate people from council estates. I just find idiots amusing. Most people from council estates are not idiots, just a few.

What exactly is a "council house"?

"i would like to have the ass sex with you"

"Do you like this ass sex, its nice!"

yeh Ali G is pretty much the epitome of chav.
A council house is one which has been designated to a family via the regional government - the local council. They're often quite dingy and create council estates, not a fun place to walk through.
But be warned, chavs aren't held down to working class area's, I know plenty of well off people dressing and acting like complete retards in good chav style- it's spreading :headbang:

So like housing projects. Why would they call them estates? lol.

"i would like to have the ass sex with you"

"Do you like this ass sex, its nice!"
Words to live by.

Wha? Speak english, Brit... We made the language, mister. Chavs don't know it though, they know a bastardised version.

I prefer to call Chavs "vermin". When the plague next comes…

They are absolutely not British. They do not represent proper British culture. They should be thrown into the sea where the Kraken lives.

That's my opinion, anyway.

Sounds alot like weird poor wiggers. Wiggers in north america tend to be rich whereas in Britain they seem to be poor white trash.

We and some friends got jumped by some wiggers a few years back 5 of us VS about 20 of them. My big buddy broke some kids legs and of course with this kid wailing away they took off.... I thought we were dead meat myself.

These kids hanged out at a subway station and would mug people late at night. The would call themselves "GTO" or "gangs take over"

We've got a few wiggers, but apparently nothing like the number of chavs you guys have. I hardly ever see any, and don't pay them any mind when I do. None have ever tried anything with me. We haven't got to the "purgation" stage, yet. We need to send exterminator squads into the cities with flamethrowers. As a city slicker I hate chavs. I don't see too many, but I still hate them.

Ali G is mocking chavs, dont' ya ge' i' ya fookin coont?! Irony (is it true American's don't do irony? Why?)!

Or i guess Europeans dont get humour + sarcasim. :rolleyes:

I guess us British don't consider ourselves to be true Europeans. ;-)

We still say "On the continent" meaning continental Europeans.

So maybe Europeans don't get humour and sarcasm, but the British invented it. :-P

That word probably hasn't been uttered in the states for about 6 or 7 years, thank god. I hope you Brits are enjoying your stale American pop-cultural imports. We had to tolerate the wiggers, and now you've got your very own homegrown brand. So bite it!

the local 'ard kru in norwich, UK is called the ATL kru.
ATL stands for Above The Law.
which i find hilarious, seeing how they are regularily arrested for getting drunk and smashing things.
