No idea why we adopted it to describe the trackie bottomed, Burberry crowd though. First time I heard the word was at a fairground in the 70's when a Carnie, who was around 15 yr old, asked my cousin if she did Chavs!!!:wtf: [/quote] 'chavi' to a chav, means girlfriend or boyfriend.

They all basically seem the same. We don't have any comparable slang word in America like 'Chav'.
