So, Euros: What the fuck is a Chav? The word means nothing to me, but seems to hold too much weight for me not to know.

After reading those threads it sounds like the European equivalent of a redneck...

Well then, being a bi-libertarian in FLORIDA, i think we could have a few laughs as a common experience. :D

I get the concept that it's more than just that, it seems like a horrendous crossbreed of redneck and wigger...*shudder*

Mommy. I think I peed myself.

I think in american terms it would be a bling bling wigger white trash.

I think they are little kids in england who wear knockoff gucci and burberry monogram clothing and drink and smoke and loiter.

Sort of like the 'ghetto fab' idiocy in the states.

It's even better when they come from the suburbs and have never seen an actual ghetto in their entire lives.

chav = ******.

that's all you need to know.

Basically it is a term that 'hit the headlines' so to speak last year. (I could probably spin a Southern conspiracy theory regarding the term given enough time.) It is a phrase that originates in London, even though the regions have different terms; eg. Scally in the North-West, Ned in Scotland, Charver in the North-East. But Chav is the name that has stuck, largely since the nearly all the news media is based in London, so they have taken the local term.

It is an term (some would say offensive) largely used by the Middle Class to describe a section of the Working Class who they find offensive to their sensibilities. Typically they are ill educated and have low aspirations, are heavily materialist, where wearing lots of 'bling-bling' is seen as being synonymous with being a chav.

::Edit::

A lot of the attributes that chavs are claimed to have are largely untrue, and have been whipped up by media hysteria. Such as violence, now obviously there are violent chavs, this is hardly suprising. I'm sure there are violence aristocrats too.

I can't believe I'm saying this:

If that ever became the majority, I may go authoritarian on my own ass! :D

This will provide much of the relevant Chav info you'll need.

Actually, it's just bling, not bling-bling.

Something makes me think that this thread will be locked very soon.

Do you think there are any Chavs on NS?

Meh, my mistake.

I am hardly an authority on this.

Ooooh, good summation! That's quite terrifyingly accurate.

Like a wigger, with half the intelligence of your average British soccer thug.

Another case against gun control; they'd just all shoot each other and we'd be happier.

Good idea - now getting rid of them in that hypothetical situation... I'm thinking something a la Stalin's "Great Purges" :D

Only way to save what remains of civilization in that case :D

I think it needs to be in the Constitution. That kind of damage has to be averted at all costs.

Even better plan here!

Draft 'em all and send 'em into the bottomless pit of mainland Asia to fight the coming war with China!

So it's the same as (we have plenty of Calis here in Florida) a starfucking pop-whore? Materialist myopic?

With the USA "redneck" definition-- (and God, I hate real rednecks, meaning deserving of the phrase. Oh, and they hate me. They just usually shut the fuck up when I hang in their spheres of influence. I'm not a Democrat, for Christ's sake! :rolleyes: ).

-- I'm not able to make the connection. This may be location-based.

Are they deserving of the phrase?

I think we should change the all our names to Chavey McChavens

chav = ******.

Boy, I say, I say, what is your major malfunction?

It involves something with the words 'JESUS CHRIST IT HURTS!!' in the dialogue.

Bad Redneck joke warning:

I had a fantastic comeback to this but i'm certain it'd have been flaming or something since no one has a sense of humor 8(

I admittedly suck but I did warn that it was a really bad Redneck joke.

No, it wasn't directed at your joke (which was bad, thanks for warning me)
but was simply on topic so I posted it.

I don't watch the Family Guy so I thought you were taking a swipe at me.

Eichen, what's being a Libertarian like?

I've, honestly, found it to be uniquely socially empowering and economically lucrative. It's helped me a great deal in finding people to sleep with and people to do business with. :p

I was just surprised being a Libertarian could improve your sex life, not asking what sex is like. Just ask any of my many girlfriends.

I discovered Libertarianism (LP (http://www.lp.org)) in '98. I registered, for the first time with the Florida LP (http://www.lpf.org) in '99.

Damn, that makes me feel old. (I'm 28) :D

Either way, my political attitudes (with both real-life Reps and Dems -- meaning almost everybody--) have influenced (http://www.lpf.org/platform/) my social attitudes big time.
So I tend not to view the "sexual spectrum" in a gay--straight manner.
I see it as a spectum begging another color altogether.

But I'm pretty much a total misfit on the sexuality-scale... Don't mind me. :D
