    Chav or Charv/Charver is a mainly derogatory slang term in the United Kingdom for a subcultural stereotype fixated on fashions such as gold jewellery and 'designer' clothing. They are generally considered to have no respect for society, and be ignorant or unintelligent. The term appeared in mainstream dictionaries in 2005.

    The defining features of the stereotype include clothing in the Burberry pattern (notably a now-discontinued baseball cap) and from a variety of other casual and sportswear brands. Tracksuits, hoodies, sweatpants and baseball caps are particularly associated with this stereotype. Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that it is a new manifestation of classism. The term has also been associated with delinquency, the "ASBO Generation", "Hoodie culture" and "yob culture".

    The accepted etymology for "chav" is that it derives from the Romani word "chavi", meaning a child.Related words derived from the same source include "charva" (used in northern England in a similar sense) and perhaps the obsolescent "young shaver" (meaning a boy). In modern Spanish "chaval" means "lad".

    There are a large number of synonyms and regional variations of "chav", including "scally", "townie", "ned", "kev", "yarco", "dobber", "Mallie", "Meader", and in some areas, "Pikey".

Gabriel in simple terms is going 'you acquire one up the duff, you've.' Mary's completely gobsmacked. She provides it to him tremendous 'end dissin' me yeah? I ain't no Kappa-slapper. I under no circumstances bin wiv no individual!' So Mary is going and sees her cousin Liz, who's six months gone herself. Liz is largin' it. She's full of spirits, Barcardi Breezers an' that. She's like 'Orright, Mary, i visit experience me bay-bee in me tummy and that i reckon i'm nicely blessed. imagine of each of the more advantageous advantages an' that we are gonna get.' Mary is going 'Yeah, s'pose you're proper' Mary an' Joe ain't were given no money so that they ought to ponse a donkey, an' flow dahn Bethlehem on that. They get to this pub an' Mary needs to end, yeah? To have her bay-bee an' that. yet there ain't no room on the motel, innit?
