You didn't need to make a thread just to ask us a question. You could have gone on Google or Wikipedia, and saved us Brits from having to think about them any more than we already do.
The idea that Chav is an Acronym is something that came way after the name. Someone decided Chav (If it was an acronym it would be in all-caps, by the way) could be made into an acronym that included a massive generalisation of people in council houses.Rastien said:
Volf99 said:"Race is classification of humans into large and distinct populations or groups by factors such as heritable phenotypic characteristics or geographic ancestry, but also often influenced by and correlated with traits such as appearance, culture, ethnicity, and socio-economic status."KLJT said:I hate to nitpick but I think you mean ethnic group, not race.Volf99 said:Roma are a Race of people from modern day Iran or Turkey and were treated worse then the Jews during the holocaust, they are still hated all across Europe because of the negative stereotypes that surround themms_sunlight said:how can it be racist if they aren't a race? Last I checked, their White, right?Rastien said:You know it's really racist to use terms like "pikey" and "gyppo", right?mgirl said:Very true!Rastien said:although it has commonly been accepted to stand for that in somerset although to be honest we have more trouble with pikeys and gypos stealing anything that isn't nailed down lol
If you mean Irish travellers or Roma, say so.
Race and Ethnicity are interchangeable in this situation, and Racism covers both. Don't be so pedantic.
Neds are annoying little gits but mostly harmless, they usually threaten to chib you (stab). Glasgow smile just a name also known as a chelsea grin, not really invented by neds as it's alot old than that.Volf99 said:
To be fair i just been sat reading uncyclopedia most the day so felt like making up crap on the spot
but yeah its often known as that round here. Also note the "and" bit meaning you couldA)have a council house and not be violent
B)Be violent and not have a council house
C)Be violent and have a council flat (meaning you unfortuntley may well be a chav.)
Also /trollface :3
They are indeed a scourge on the planet, and I don't feel remotely bad about stereotyping them.
If you don't like being called a chav and treated like you're thieving, offensive, scummy twats, then it's quite simple, stop dressing like one, and stop acting like one
Lets me use one of my favourite lines too - 'Baseball caps are like pubic hair, you can remove it, but there'll still always be a c*** underneath.'
Honestly, if suddenly all chavs started wearing black t shirts, I'd stop wearing them, because I'd not want people thinking I was an antisocial arsehole, so they can't really complain that we're unfairly judging them. If I was going for a job in childminding I'd change out of the bloodstained clown suit first, in case my outfit affected their opinion of me.
Another thing that amazes me is their amazing ability to take a car worth £1000, (and yes, I mean 'take' most of the time), spend £5000 on upgrades, lights, and speakers, to leave it worth about a tenner. Including, putting a shitty huge exhaust in, just to make it loud.
What sort of unbelievable twat wants a noisy car? Oh yes, an antisocial chav twat.
I wouldn't be impressed if my mate put a piece of card in his PC fan to make it go BRRRRR all day, why would a stupid, unsuitable exhaust on a car with a lawnmower engine impress?
As for their habit of parking in car parks just to crank up their bass bins and annoy everyone in a mile with their godawful music choices. I LIKE electronica, but fuck where do they get the stuff they listen to? It sounds like a chipmunk singing over a pan pipes album with a shitty bassline dropped in.

The pictures seem to be...wiggers...but missing all the rap...like if an island of white people suddenly gained no knowledge of rap and dressed how they felt it would be...
