What exactly is a chav?

As a stereotyped 'Emo/scene kid' (ugh) living in a mostly chav populated area, I think I can settle a pretty good stereotype here:
-

Annoying thing is, I actually have to talk like that to avoid getting mugged. wowooowoo.
But yeah, normally wears a tracksuit, shaven head, hood is always up, sometimes ride around with BMX's...
...Just be glad you haven't encountered chav girls yet...

This pretty much sums it up. Also, here's a video some posh British kids made concerning chavs, if you're interested.LavaLampBamboo said:
From what I understand, it's a nationwide problem. And since they are the major group behind "juvenile delinquency", I would say the existence of the ASBO is primarily due to them.PeePantz said:Haha. Are they somewhat contained (such as Jersey trash) or are they that prevalent that Tony Blair instituted ASBO? Was this because of them or problems as a whole?Lord Mountbatten Reborn said:A disgusting breed of human, none of its members realising what they are. Tragic, yes. Eradicable with weaponry? Also yes.
Also, because of them, I think baseball caps are the scourge of the earth. Top hats are far more pleasant a type of head-wear.
Chavs are looked down on but like most groups believes themselves to be the pinnacle of society; everyone else is just stupid. They are usually dropouts and have a gang mentality with their friends. Prone to violence and generally think they are "hard."
The older ones tend to live on benefits and are proud of not having to work.
This is the stereotypical Chav.

I love it! I simply must get the fellows at the Carlton to join me in this sport! With fox-hunting banned and Mr. Cameron taking a while to get it back for us, this will be the perfect way to work off all those tiring hours of sitting around being rich.PAGEToap44 said:
Is a pikey and chav like a square and a rectangle? Such as all pikies(sp?) are chavs, however not all chavs are pikies?JWRosser said:

No more fox hunting (I actually kind of knew this)?!?!? How else am I going to get all my winter scarves, mittens, and socks?Lord Mountbatten Reborn said:

The sort of degenerate who comes from family playing the benefits system, has no desire to do anything other than watch tv and claim goverment cheques, and views getting arrested as a badge of honour.
also, as seems to be a recurring pattern, complete and utter shits. will start a fight with people weaker than themselves just to look "'ard" in front of their mates.
this creature is best avoided, unless you enjoy mocking the pathetic and idiotic elemnets of society.

Excellent, a chance to reuse one of my own self penned lines 
"Baseball caps are like pubic hair, you can remove it, but there's still either a dick or a **** underneath."
I have no sympathy for chavs, as while they're seen as scum, they CHOOSE to look like that.
If you're in a bullring, and choose to put on the clownsuit, you can't really act surprised when the bull gores you.
If you want to be seen as a normal respected member of society, take off the cap, remove the half a pound of gold coloured jewellery from argos, give that kid his phone back, and THEN fuck off. oops, lost my thread for a moment, I mean, don't dress like that, and you won't be thought of as a petty criminal.
Another great chav symbol is the chav car.
One strange talent chavs have is car reverse alchemy, that of turning gold into lead, or spending £10,000 making a £5,000 car worth £50.
"who needs rear seats, we can fit more speakers in there, and that hand rail on the library steps, rip that down and nail it to the back of my car, free spoiler, just like Formula one!"
twats.
I can't make the image tags work, but here's two prime examples of how they'll vandalise their own cars to 'personalise' them to within an inch of the scrapyard.

Chavs are just white people that think they're all cool and gangsta. They hang around in groups most of the time, and are actually really weak when they're on their own.
They do the whole underage drinking & sex thing, and the female chavs usually get pregnant at like 14~15. I think it's because of the fact that they know they can just leech money off the council and live in a council flat if they have a baby. The mothers are usually single.
I think you described their physical appearance perfectly though. They're all pretty stupid when it comes down to things. You know, they're the kids that the teacher spends 80% of your lessons yelling at them because they think they're "too cool for school" and all that.
They also love to smoke.
Oh and lol, none of them seem to be intelligent people.

For starters, "Chav" is the incorrect spelling of the word "Charv".
Aside from that, it's pretty much already been explained. One thing I have noticed however, is that they're evolving. Many charvs in my area have moved on from rap and rave and are starting to listen to indie. It's just a matter of time before they begin blending in with us, and we won't know who's a charv and who isn't!

In my experience pikey is more of a derogatory term for gypsies/people who live in a caravans in general. Chavs are more often found in council estates. I know that question wasn't geared at me though xDPeePantz said:
To answer the one that was: yes, pretty much. Not all neds will engage in football hooliganism but a sizeable chunk of them will. Others will just beat you up on the street for having long hair.
Because I can, chav jokes too!
What do you say to a chav in a suit? "will the accused please stand..."
What does a chav get for xmas? your new bike.
How do you get chavs to start using condoms? print the nike logo on them.
Two chavs, Wayne and Jezza crash fatally into each other in an illegal car race, who won?
Society.
Whats the first question in the chav exams? "what you lookin at?"
Chav in a bar, and a gay man comes in, buys him a drink and says 'so, how about a blow job?' The chav goes mad and throws the gay guy thru a window. The barman rushes over and goes 'Hey, what the hell was that about?' and the chav goes 'dunno, said something about a job.'
Lastly, not a joke.
There's a famous video online of a chav just vandalising a wall, kicking it, trying to smash it, because, well it's not his, so he may as well destroy it. However it's a wall made of concrete slabs held between posts, and this chav doesn't have a passing grade in basic physics. It still makes me wince, but there's still some feeling of natural justice when he smashes a slab with his stupid foot, and the slabs above slide down onto his outstretched and now shattered leg. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but his stupidity combined with his casual desire to wreck other people's stuff kinda makes karma happen.
feeling sorry for him is like feeling sorry for someone who smashes store windows with his face and gets cut.

Now, in America, there are many kids who come from good social standings and are well off, but emulate "gangstas". They tend to be trouble and talk like assholes despite their education. Upper middle class kids tend to be our "wiggers" (I'm not sure how this word became somewhat socially acceptable). Obviously, this is a form of adolescent rebellion. Does this happen as well? Are well-to-do kids aping chavs who, funny enough, are (apparently) wannabes themselves?chemicalreaper said:
