APPARENTLY Chav comes from the word charva, which is what they are called up here, and actually means gypsy. Though it is definitely an attitude thing rather than money, we have a chav neighbour who has a horse. I'd say it's more about having no taste, thinking bawling and yelling at your kids (Ryan, Keeley, Jordan, etc) in the street is ok, driving souped-up heaps like novas with blue lighting underneath and massive spoilers, and wearing a lot of gold plated plastic jewellery, is more a giveaway than christmas lights. Though round here the lights do tend to go hand in hand with the chavs...

I'd go further and say its a deliberate celebration of "bad" taste; the flashing around of new money (or the illusion thereof) with just a wave to the old brigade (Burbery- can't spell that- and big cars) to show that "We've Arrived." I sort of like it.
At least its lively and anyone can join- you don't have to have gone to the right school, etc......
If I could find a Burbury turnout rug for mine I'd snap it up. Although for the chestnut I'd like pink leopardskin.
I live in a council flat but we don't put out lights at Christmas; round here they'd get pinched....

IMO a chav is how Nudibranch has explained with a bit of DiesalDog comments thrown in! The ultimate chav has to be someone like Jordan - her horse will be decked out in horrific pink attire. I cringe just thinking about it...! IMO they are low lifes who sponge of society and spend all their (sorry OUR) money on disgusting jewellery and pretend Burberry.
