[deesel]

are chavs here to stay?

[Immortal298]

God i hope not.

[dothawkes]

Do you not think that chavs have been with us for quite a while, but in the past we have not actually known what to call them?

[jimmer]

we used to call them kev's or townies in the 80's. now they're chavs. The name will change but they wont go away.

We used to call the kids from the encroaching council estate 'townies' when they used to try to flatten as much of my dad's corn in the front field as they could by rolling around in it. Or when they set fire to the dutch barn for a dare and destroyed all the stacks of bales and a new **** pheasant, not to mention the litter of kittens we knew were in there.

[dothawkes]

I don't believe it, I have been censured for mentioning a piece of farmyard machinery! Let me see if I can use it as a full word, '************'.

[dothawkes]

I don't believe that either! Never mind, if you don't know what a c*ckpheasant is or does at haymaking time this wouldn't matter anyway.

Probably and they're all beefing up their Corsas with big wheels too! :c)

[dave_c]

Well theres always an underclass in every society and unless you want another 'auschwitz' (which we all do not want, seriously) then they're here to stay!

[Quizmonster]

There are grounds for believing the word 'chav' itself comes from the Sanskrit 'sava' meaning 'boy'. As Sanskrit dates from over 3,000 years ago, it looks like they've been about for a heck of a long time already!

[Ray the DJ]

No, thank god.
They will fade away like teddyboys, mods, rockers, hippies, skin heads and all the other fads.

[ludwig]

They've already gone. They've been replaced by 'hoodies'.

[Gingerpants]

In 80's Midlands, they were called 'casuals' and so I guess they are here to stay.  These days however they dress even worse than they did then.  The lack of imagination is quite staggering.
