It started as a word, but it has grown into a phenomenon. The wiki says chavs are:
Chav or Charv/Charver ('ch' pronunced as in chair) 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". Chavs are often stereotyped as being particularly anti-emo and anti-Goth, two other subcultural groups.

If it's tacky, chavy, brassy but not classy, put it here.

I have HOT, fresh gossip straight up from the tents at Bryant Park... I went to my sketching class ( I was sweating it, we started working on faces and hands, my waterloo) and when I turned on my 'puter (Baby-Saffi speak for computer) my sweet babies from Project Rungay Tom and Lorenzo and the peeps from the official project Runway blog had the photos from the collections posted. I almost wet my pants with joy! First, minor gossip, that icon of utter tackiness and the High Priestess of Chav-ness Herself, The Posh Spice, was annouced as the guest host for the finale. If ...

I’ve been to the funfair, the wife, and two kids in tow. The funfair is great. I love it. But have you noticed how funfair rides no longer take old-fashioned hard cash. Nope. They only take tokens. Now why is that? Well, lets see. Would you go on a fairground ride that looked like it was built by the Soviets and maintained by an Irish Tarmac Gang? Thought not. But, what about if it was only 4 tokens a ride. Four measly tokens. That doesn’t sound so bad after all. So, I bought twenty tokens for £10. Sounds very reasonable and I was always ...

My Fellow Americans… I was told by a wise person many years ago that you learn something new everyday. Today was no exception. I learned all about “Chavs” today. What is a “chav”, you ask? “Chavs” are the English equilivilent of a “hoochie mama” or “white trash”. “Chavs” are also called Neds, Townies, Kevs, Charvers, Steeks, Spides, Bazzas, Yarcos, Ratboys, Kappa Slappers, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Stigs, Scallies and Hood Rats. Sigh…So many names… There are also ABSO kids in England. This is very similar to the “ghetto” or “delinquent” lifestyle we have here in the USA. More on ABSO’s later. For now, brush up ...

Home Secretary David Davis slammed Crimianal Damage for marketing a new Hanibal Hoodie with full face mask coverage. He said: "While we would not want to get into banning items of clothing it is the height of irresponsibility for companies to be deliberately marketing items that would not be out of place in any hooligan's tool kit." People are afraid of the hoodies and fear that thugs may use them for criminal activities or terrorism. Read Full Story

Well guys I'm 25, and idk about the rest of you but I grew up right in the middle of TMNT popularity. Before them sure it was He-man, G.I.joes, Transformers. For me though turtles were my favorite. I will say there is nothing on earth that beats some of the old He-Man toys. One of them was like a lighter that would flicker spark when you rolled the thing on his back...so kick ass and yet so off topic...I know, I can't help it. WaffleTeamStrike...
