Description

Morning all :o) Not much I can say about this so I`ve found some info from Wiki .It does actually say on the bottom of this one "Piggin Chav" :o) Chav, Chava or Charva is a slang derogatory term applied to certain young people in the United Kingdom. The stereotypical image of a chav is an aggressive white teen or young adult, of working class background, who wears branded sports and casual clothing (baseball caps are also common) who often fights and engages in petty criminality and are often assumed to be unemployed or in a low paid job. Caricature of a stereotypical chavThe term appeared in mainstream dictionaries in 2005.There are regional variations; in the North East of England the variant charv / charva is most commonly used (particularly in Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland areas), while in the South East of England and South West of England chav is the usual form. The northwest and particularly Liverpool use the word Scally. Similar words in use outside England include "neds" in Scotland, "spides" or "skangers" in Ireland and in Northern Ireland the terms "milly" and "steek" are used. Response to the term has ranged from amusement to criticism that it is a new manifestation of classism. However, it is important to note that chav is not a straight synonym for "working class person", but refers to a specific mode of behaviour, dress and speech that is far from universal amongst the British working class (although for the most part is restricted to it). The term has also been associated with juvenile delinquency, the "ASBO Generation" and "Yob culture". Thanks for looking and take care Mick
