You’re funny.
In case any non-British are reading this, ‘chav’ is a term used to describe a small subset of British working class people. It used to describe young people with “loutish (ill-mannered) behaviour, violence, and particular speech patterns (all of which are stereotypes)” (Wikipedia.)
It is not a term used to describe the general working class population of Britian.

Why are you obsessed with charvas?
He wants chavettes
Quit posting this nonsense under different accounts.
Chav is NOT a derogatory term for working class folks.
This is what I’m going to reply every time you post this garbage.
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines chav as “an insulting word for someone, usually a young person, whose way of dressing, speaking, and behaving is thought to show their lack of education and low social class.”

It’s based on behaviour.
Ayup. There’s such a thing as rich chavs (called bogans in Australia).
Bogans are the same as chavs in that they’re not rich.
There is an outlier of a few thousand C.U.B. (Cashed-Up Bogans) who do FIFO work at the mines and make more than like 90% of the country.
Completely agree. OP is a troll. They pop up every so often claiming this nonsense. Chav is not, and never has been, a slur, towards working class people or otherwise.
Source - I’m a working class man from a working class area in the UK and in my mid 40s. I was in my teens when chav became a thing, and it only ever applied to a certain subset of people.
Dude read 1 book and is now obsessed over someone else’s incorrect assesment. 🤦♂️
