What a crock of SHIT

We've used Chav round here in the scummy council estates of Cheltenham since as long as I can remember, and its nowhere NEAR as complex as the wanky rumours make out.

Its a Gyppo term (and has been since the dawn of time, or dawn of gyppos, whatever) for a CHILD. A gyppo child mostly.

Chav, or Chavvy.

When we was younger it was jus a greeting, like mate. Ie "Alright chav?" etc etc.

All this rumour and bollocks as its became the buzz word in last few years for nobheads whos never heard of it.

I remember 20odd yrs ago and it was used, mustve been around for 100s of years.
