This is chavvy, that is chavvy. Fuck off with the use of chavvy

AIBU?

All I seem to see lately is the word chavvy to describe names, items, clothes etc that people don't like.

So far names that aren't Arlo or Benedict, are double barreled or start with a K are chavvy.

Using Nanna is chavvy.

Wearing character clothing (children) is chavvy.

Everything is fucking chavvy. It makes me wonder what people think chavvy means? Am I the only one who has noticed this?

I think chav is an outdated term now anyway. I live in a town that looks like a holding pen for the Jeremy Kyle show and nobody says chav anymore. Scrote, skank or tramp on the other hand...

But chav is not all bad. For example, yes McDonalds is 'chav' but who in their right mind would say no to a McD. In fact you would be a twat if you were say driving back tired from a day at a theme park and you didn't pull in (or through) for supper on the way home. Something can be 'chav' yet still desirable or enjoyable.
Then there is 'chavtastic'. Blingy sunglasses or handbags can be chav as can over the top WAG hairstyles and nails but now and then it is fun to work a chavtastic look, especially in summer I find.

Haha but everything you mentioned IS chavvy

Little Can you explain how then?

Yes it IS chavvy but chavvy is not necessarily or inherently bad in or if itself, iykwim.

Chav is a subjective term. Many of the things you mentioned are things that some people consider chavvy. In the same way that men in red trousers are often considered posh!

My grandad wear red trousers and hes not posh. I wonder if hes on there. Ill have to have a look.

I love the red trousers link. They need to add salmon and mustard colours to it...

Well exactly sp- its a stereotype not ahard and fast rule!

I was thinking about this thread whilst queuing up for the drive thru at mcdonalds. There was a really horrible word when I was growing up to describe poor people. It was scutter :(

goal I thought they were a grandad uniform. Like shirt tucked in to green cords

Join the chavvy corner everlong

Bring a KFC bucket with you

Everlong, a white Range is chav as is a white Disco. Both can look chavtastic though if driven by a brunette with hair in ponytail. If you are blonde though you could be into dodgy territory....

Tan the way this threads gone everyone will be in that corner

It's all about class and class anxiety. Why? Because everything in the UK is always about class and class anxiety. (Perhaps a slight exaggeration.)

"Chav" is very clearly used by people who enjoy feeling superior to others. As long as they have others to look down on, they are able to feel slightly more secure in their position.

And to be honest if I go out with the girls then (say once every two years) I might be so drunk I fall over by 9pm on the dance floor. That is vair chav but hell I am ok with that and I never show my knickers whilst sprawling around.

And at least I wear knickers!

I wouldn't say that was a chav thing to do property just a drunken thing

Ha ha, yes a designer baseball hat will hide your hair.

Trust me SP, it is chav the way I do it. I'll Eff and Jeff on the way down to the ground etc.

I think I have to disagree with seagul. I do use the term chav to describe certain things. My mum tried to install sparkly tiles in her house, I referred to them as chavvy. I didn't use that term to feel 'superior'.
