It's kinda like a hip-hop guy from England. I guess.....and for some reason they are very much hated.

Especially that last pic. WTF?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

"Ned" is just another name for "Chav".

I don't really like the word "Chav" - it's like "Wigger" or "white trash".

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Those people look like a couple of the kids I go to school with.

from what i can tell, hip hop + burberry = chav?

Would that mean that Ned Beatty in Deliverance could qualify as the epitome of this word?

CHAV is in fact an abbreviated term for Council Housed And Violent. A term fitting for those who fall under this umbrella. They are milly amusing for there general kitsch horribleness but there gets to the point where you do wonder what has happened to having a bit of style and class. Without wishing to sound like a snob (although I am I guess to a lesser than greater degree) chavs are one of the reasons why I wish to leave the UK for pleasanter climes.

As far as the term 'NED' is concerned, I believe its a regional term applying to the same social stereotype. They are known as 'Scallies' in the North West.

For those of you curious, here is cult internet hero Darren 'Devo' Devonshire in all his chav-tastic glory... http://www.fat-pie.com/chavs.htm

I like this bit...

We interviewed this guy before we found Devvo, he was much scarier. We told him that he could have £5 if we interviewed him, but all he wanted was a big glass of water, so we gave him that. It took us a while to get rid of him from our kitchen because he kept demanding that we play some "bangin' choons"

I FUCKING HATE CHAVS.

It's much more than "burberry + hiphop" - it began as that but now they're ultra-aggressive anti-social binge-drinking cunts who revel in pissing people off and ruin Friday nights out in towns. I would probably go clubbing a lot more rather than going to shitty gigs if chavs weren't such a fucking problem.

chav=useless leisurewear toting motherfuckers with no life and 12 kids by age 14...scum of the earth hoodie wearing fuckers that would benefit from some "thinning of the herd" if you catch my drift...they are rapidly taking over from pikeys as the most hated form of scumbag

It's just what they love doing. I hate coming down the aisle of a train and oh look, you stuck your foot out - aren't you clever, you little 10-year-old prick?

possibly one of the most tragic images I've ever seen...

Spookymuffin said:

I had a situation about 3 yrs ago when i was walking a neighbours dog for them. I was walking along a street and there were 5 chavscum on the pavement in my path and i hear one of them say "dont let him pass" so without breaking stride i smashed the biggest one in the middle in the nose!!!! he went down faster than a $10 whore screaming like a stuck pig....the others didn't even move.
Classic!!!!!
I fucking hate chavs!

mdiver said:

the one time I did get in a fight with a chav he was so drunk he fell over before I could take a swing. I was so disappointed - I am rarely up for a fight but when I am I crave.

Someone call Ali G!!!

chillichocaholic said:

You see Ali G was when they were funny and stupid, but now they're all aggressive and carry knives.
