Hm, and I thought America was bad. We usually have a [URL="http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/126828998.html"]rowdy[/URL] African-american population in Milwaukee (They actually assaulted white people at State Fair opening night), but aside from that it's pretty quiet. Are "Chavs" really that bad?
A new sport in Britain: Chav Pegging. Use rocks, nerf balls, something, and get on, say, an apartment balcony with a clear view of them sitting on their railing. For every object you throw that hits them, one point. Head shots are three. If you manage to hit him so he loses his balance and falls back or forward, five points. Not practical, I know. But it would be insanely funny. [editline]17th August 2011[/editline] Oh, and knocking over their drink is a half a point
I wear a flat cap with my hood up and jeans in hi-tops if i'm walking to the shops or something, i get people crossing the street when i'm walking towards them, i've had people murmuring "fuckin scum" when walking past me in the street i could confront them but then it wouldn't help my case
[QUOTE=bluesky;31783747]It seems to me that these 'chavs' as you call it, are poor white kids, with styles from like early 2000's who just discovered rap, and therefore suck dick at being 'hood' and rapping. Goddamn at least the gangsters where I'm from got swag. Watch the movie called 'kids' you'll understand how crazy the innercity can make some people into (hint: the movie is about aids) [video=youtube;Ky8wG7k8WUI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky8wG7k8WUI[/video][/QUOTE] 'trying' to be hood?

I once saw a Chav in Birmingham. Alabama. I think he was lost.
[QUOTE=Drachenfels;31763879]Is this the UK's version of gangsters? Oh my, that's funny.[/QUOTE] We still do get gangsters, they're basically slightly richer, black versions of chavs who listen to hip-hop and wear hoodies and sometimes wear tea-towels around their neck. Unlike chavs, however, they seem to grow out of this eventually, or just get arrested.
[QUOTE=Raptortheawesome;31790601]tea-towels.[/QUOTE] I laughed at that.
I hope they don't spread to other continents.
They have, although under different names.
Is Geordie Shore still airing, or was that a one season thing? I hated that entire cast.
Chavs are far to easy to beat up. I've been in countless fights with chavs and I have not lost one yet. When chavs fight the only thing they do is throw messy slow right hooks which are to easy to block. Or maybe it's just the chavs in Belfast that can't fight for shit but try to act hard and punch like little girls.
you ~hardcore~ motherfucker
No, it's just fun to punch the fuck out of someone who tries to pick on you.
[QUOTE=cottonwaxy;31762921]OP you forgot to add the fact they walk around with their hands constantly down their pants touching their balls in public[/QUOTE] One did that, in front of me then tried to shake my hand. Fucking disgusting.
Chavs are furuncle of the humanity.
where did the name chav come from i mean gangsta came from gangster but does chav come from clam chowder

The Chav's cultural equivalents are: in Ireland - "Skanger", Scotland - "Ned" and East Anglia - "Yarco".[14][/release]

I've said this before. But please send me a PM of any recommendations for the OP. Just a subject preferably and I'll interpret it myself if I like the idea.
I've seen a few where I live, but one stood out a lot more. Let me share a couple stories: Once, in my programming class, he came in (he wasn't part of the class, although he'd probably be kicked out really quickly) and asked the teacher (who's also one of our IT admins) for the router's WPA2 code for his (possibly stolen) ipod touch. Before I continue, the school used to have a code that was really simple to get in, but so many people connected and the network became laggy, so our IT admins changed the password to something very complicated and only gave the password out to those who were trusted. Of course, the teacher said no, and we all know that they don't comprehend denial, so he asks again. This went back and forth for about 2-3 min. before he got kicked out (in which I think he went to the other IT admin, who also said no). There was one class that I had with him (no one actually liked him for obvious reasons) and he did quite a lot of stupid shit. One thing I remember was he went up to a group of Koreans who were speaking Korean together and he starts trying to converse with them by making mock Chinese sounds. The Koreans look at him, then say something in Korean and laugh, then walk away. Of course, the chav not getting the hint, decides to follow. I was pretty confused as to why someone would do something like this that I missed the rest of what happened, but the group probably told him to fuck off or something like that.

What province are you in, cause I hadn't heard the term 'chav' ever except on the internet.
Still ain't as low as the chavs who sit in McDonald's to get free wifi :v:
Oh yeah, you should all watch that movie Harry Brown. Michael Caine goes Chav hunting. It is a very good film.
[QUOTE=TamTamJam;31810057]Do you actually call them chavs? What province are you in, cause I hadn't heard the term 'chav' ever except on the internet.[/QUOTE] I live in BC. I just call them chavs because I don't even know what we call them anymore.

I say all chavs should shipped to North Korea. They get pissed off and so does Kim Jong Il. Two birds with one stone.
