Do Americans have chavs? If so, what's the Chav situation like across the pond?

at first guess i'd say wannabe rappers
but then again we have a whole bunch of different types of trailer trash...
They're really, really not.
Trailer trash don't hang around in massive groups in built up areas (Mainly Friday and Saturday nights) shouting abuse and trying to fight anyone that passes.
Like chair.
It's a ned though ;[
with spelling ike that im surprised you got out of priomary school
That aint a spelling mistake mate, it's called a typo.
same here, it's proper cacker speak, think it means kid...as in "alright kid?"
You from somerset/wilts area?
If you're going to nit-pick over other people's errors you should really correct your own first.
Wiltshire.
ahh. Thought so. The word "Chav" has been used here ever since I remember.
you'd be surprised...
Yep, I'm from Wiltshire too, although I've always known the word chavvy to mean something like mate or friend, as in "Alright my chavvy".
But yeah, you're right, it's a Romani word meaning son or boy.
You = faggot.
its a picture of Capacity! ;p
That's the funniest thing you've ever said. Worried?
It does where I live.
Chav or chavi is a word of endearment - yous lot have just hijacked it to mean townie.
Yep, too right, people have been using that word in Wiltshire for as long as I can remember. Which is longer than most of you have been alive, and it meant friend then. So I think we have precedence.
(Mind you, I spose we hijacked it from the cackers... along with a few others!)
Same with the word 'pikey'. It means gyspy, it's NOT a ned.
