Being a chav, I think, stems from more than simple choice. John Prescott might claim that "we're all middle class now", but chavs are esentially working-class white kids who dare to appear in public. They don't aspire to be accountants and they don't live in suburbia. They have the temerity to buy fake designer lables, not because the can't tell the difference from the genuine article, but because they don't have hundreds of pounds spare to buy it. One newspaper article smugly referred to them as a "peasant underclass". In a way they're probably more right than they intended.

Mocking the way disadvantaged teenagers live isn't biting social satire, so much as old fashioned, class-based snobbery. It's not the association with anti-social behaviour that makes them a legitimate target for public ridicule, but their social faux pas.

The above I stumbled upon tonight whilst looking up the defintion of a 'Chav'..After being called one..Again!..To me the word 'Chav'  has many different meaning's.. And I have to admit that ...I am proud to be a Chavette :))
