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?

To me a "Chav" is someone who is angry most of the time, swears a lot, often at their children, and never seems particularly relaxed.

The baby name thing, whether a name is "chavvy" or not, is a bit passé, surely.

I went out last night for a meal at the pub and brought back a doggy bag, It was steak and ale pie and I had lots of beef left.
I did give it to my dog though.
Not sure if it's chavvy or not.

This country is still obsessed with class so no wonder the word Chav is so prevalent. That said I don't know why anyone would call someone a Chav as (a) no one would admit to being a Chav or want to associate with the term no matter what they are like or how 'chavvy' they may be and (b) if they were real chats they would probably get all super aggressive, respond with threats and hunt you down. Who needs that?

I meant 'if they were real chavs...'

"CHERYL Cole has spoken out about being branded the ?Queen of the Chavs? ? and revealed that she LOVES it.
The tattooed star landed the title after regularly being seen wearing big hoop earrings, caps and tracksuits.

And Geordie Cheryl, 28, insists she is proud to be a chav ? even though the term is normally associated with the likes of Little Britain?s Vicky Pollard and Lotto lout Michael Carroll.

The singer, who grew up on a council estate, said: ?What's that about ? being derogatory about someone who?s done well from nothing? That?s hilarious, I love that. It?s a big compliment ? I?m a chav.?

"I am a rich chav. You couldn't get any more chav than me. I'm the only person in Britain to own a bespoke pink Land Rover with crystals on it, and I love it. I'm a chav but I'm just lucky that I've got money with it."

I luff Katie Price. She is great. She is a chav and so what. The snobs look down on her because she is richer than them and because she is just an ordinary person made good. they would rather she had known her place and not made it rich.

Reclaim the word chav, don't let the snobs grind chavs down.
