What are chavs? Are they preppies, punks, jocks, geeks, drama kids, stoners, skater kids? I'm from the U.S., so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Sorry, chavs are the type who hang around on street corners with nothing better to do, they drink and smoke from a young age in most cases and they tend to have their t-shirt collar turned up because they think it's cool. Chavs more than often wear Fred Perry and Lacoste and most think it's really cool to sleep with each other under age, so that's where the teenage pregnancies often come from. Really nasty pieces of work.

Oh, okay. We call those losers here in the states.

I think the equivalent would be 'white trash'.

and another thing,,,While most people use 'chav' as a term of offence, the chavs themselves actually often wear it as a badge of honour, and are really proud to call themselves chavs. They're also called Charvas, Scallies, or Neds, depending where in the country you're from (and probably some other names that I don't know about!)

I just call those people lazy and easy.. the girls would be the trampy girls, the guys are the ones that think they are macks, some people called them party kids.
Thats what it seems like they would be where i grew up in the US.
