Experiences with chavs

[ozzy]

This is my experience.

Today has been eventful, to say the least. Ok, at first i headed down to a kool kat called Ivan's to use his ipod charger. I got to Ivan and invited him down to the shop for some snow cream and Pepsi. We made our way to the shops. When we got there it was shut, so we walked to a other shop, the other shop was in da ghetto bled. When we got there, we made our way into the shop. We collected the snacks, and made our way to the checkout. There where two scaly boys in front of us in the queue, they where arguing other something petty. When they had finally finished paying for there 10 pence freddo bar, I paid for mine and Ivan’s Pepsi and coke along with some m & m's. We made our way out of the shop, the two boys stared at us trying to intimidate us. They started to follow us on there bikes. When we made it to the crossover at the end of the road they shouted "Oi!", we ignored them. Then they pulled up next to use on there bikes, "What iz da time" one the small white one of the two said. I knew what they where up to, they wanted one of us to take out one our phones to check the time so they could grab them, neither of us had phones on us though. Ivan replied "I’m not sure, around four i think". "Empty out your pockets!" The tall black one of the two ordered. By this time i ran over the road, I didn’t want them to get hold of my new ipod which was located in my pocket. Ivan was on the other side of the road. I stopped and indicated to him to run over, but he didn’t :\. They grabbed the Cherry Coca-cola which I bought for him and cycled away. Like why the hell would you steal a bloody cherry cola, idiots.

We made our way back to Ivan’s house thinking our selves lucky that we didn’t get our selves beaten down or have anything of value stolen. About five mins later, we noticed they had followed us and where just behind us. They pulled up next to us and shouted “You Lied, u guyzzz hav phonezz!!”. I didn’t have a phone but I had my ipod so I dropped my drink and made a run for it. I ran through someone’s front garden, around the back of the house, the boys where chasing me, I jumped onto a garden shed, and over the fence, through a other garden and pulled myself over a other large fence. I shocked a women who owned the house, what would you do if you saw a youth jump over a fence into your garden and start knocking on the window to get in. When I was franticly knocking, the two boys where trying to get into the garden. She wouldn’t let me in, no surprise but she phoned the police. One of the people who owned one of the gardens approached me on the other side of the fence. He asked me what was going on, I explained and he guided me round to the other side of the house. He walked me halfway up the street and I said I would be ok to walk the rest. I ran up to Ivan’s, franticly knocked on the door, and he let me in.

We shared our stories and it turned out that he got punched round the head 3 times L. We settled down our nerves and I realized what adrenalin can do for you in situations like what had happened. We laughter about the chavs and made jokes about them. They gained nothing, we had the last laugh, and someday they will get there comeuppance. LOL

I DIDN’T LOSE MY IPOD, WOOT!

Have you ever been in any situations like mine and if so what did you do in them?

:)

[Yorkshire Tea]

I'm glad to say that where I live is relatively chav-free, although four youths (2 boys and 2 girls) did bust our wingmirror a few weeks ago, and I was actually quite ready to go outside and beat the living shit out of them if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't find a weapon. In retrospect, I was probably a bit hyped up that day, and a night in the police cells for GBH would not have helped my schoolwork.

[Swirl]

That is one helluva story.
Can't think of any of my own at this moment in time, maybe later...

[RobW]

I had this situation de stickie once.

I was walking around town in my lovely flatcap and there were these people (scallies, of course) at the back of the bus, sticking their v's up and everything. So I smiled and waved back. I walked to the bus station to get home, and to my amazement [/sarcasm] one had got off and met me in the bus station, he said something like "ya fookin think yer big u hav a ghey hat" *he nicks the flatcap off me* "i gonna liek fookin bray yer innit" so I took my cap back off him and skeedaddled up to the bus station shop, stayed there, looking at the scally standing outside the shop looking rather miffed.

I stayed there until a member of staff came to get rid of him. Ha. He's porbably dead now. Or hopefully anyway.

[dejosc]

well i live in the country so the all the chavs are kept nicely hidden \o/ although Corby the capital of Chavland is quite nearby. worst encounter would be when i was in the nearest town with my mates and we wre having a snowball fight with the skodgers and some chavs came laid into the skodgers and then turned on us, i got the shit beaten into me, it hurt.

[Nuclear Spoon]

Hmm. Once I was walking home from school with my Coke in my pocket (I used to buy one every day, I'm trying to give up now), when these 3 chavs came up to me. One of them grabbed me by the shirt and started spouting bollocks about his sister in Year 11. He was talking in so much chavspeak I couldn't understand what he was saying, so naturally "Err, what the hell are you talking about?". More chavspeak followed.
"Shut up, liek or i wil thro u in da dustbin"
"Sounds like fun"
"Shut. UR. MOUF" (said it slow for some reason)
"No."
I can't remember what happened next, but eventually he let go of me and I carried on walking home. I didn't look back. Somehow, I expected him to come run up to me and steal my Coke, but I don't know why I didn't prevent him. "Cheers, bruv, innit!" And he was off. I really didn't feel like any more confrontations, so I carried on walking home. Like ozzy said, why the hell would you steal a Coke? I'd even started drinking it for crying out loud!

[Simon]

I have an interesting habit of being able to dissappear when chavs are about. They just dont seem to notice me go. I obviously have been in trouble with them, but rarely on my own. The only time I was ever confronted alone was by some proper little shites smoking and being generally twatlike, one of them headbutted me with their cap on...that was rather amusing as it didnt hurt a bit :D

[MichaelJackson]

My experiences with chavs?
A couple of months ago I was suspended from school for teaching a group of them that if they want my iPod they really will have to snatch it from my cold maggot filled dead fingers. That's right some year 8 twats actually thought they could beat up a year 11 and steal his iPod (What is there facination with my forbidden iPod of mystery?).

Being 3 years older than them, I proceded to beat seven shades of purple out of the little wankers. Ten minutes later I'm in the principals office accused of bullying. Lucky I had a good report that term (If it had happened 2 months earlier, I would be back in tutoring again), and was allowed back into school.

The moral?
They are stupid liars who wouldn't understand karma if it bit them in the ass and gave them head.

EDIT: Wow, nobody pointed out that there is a fine line between bullying and protecting yourself. Either I'm on a lot of ignore lists, or you all really hate chavs.

[Fezwald]

Through experience, I have found Chavs very easy to manipulate and predict

My primary school was full of Chavs when I was there and I knew and got on quite well with most of them.

Now I'm in high school and most of the chavs in my year were in my primary school class so they don't bother me or my friends.

My advice would be not to look down on them because they feel threated. This makes them become agressive and sometimes violant in an attempt to show that they want to be superiour.

Can't say that much about chavs I don't know though :(

When I was 10 I was playing tennis in a tournemt in Liverpool. I was practacing with one of my friends at a tennis court before the competition. 3 Chavs came up to me and my friend and started asking how much are rackets were. I pulled my racket away and one accused me of taking a swing at him with my racket. He pushed me so I hit him as hard as I could in the face with my racket. He went down and me and my friend ran off. The other 2 Chavs ran after us but we out run them :)

That reminds me, who actually said on these boards; "A chav headbutting you with a cap on is oddly amusing, like an enraged duck" was it Bionic Sheep? Me forgettage.

[RobW]

That line was truly a classic. I really want to know who originally said it though so I can say to them "omg ur tha classixx" but the mystery person hasn't 'fessed, so meh.

...and Chavvy, I don't know. I just don't know... :nananana:

[Oli]

I managed to get in a fight with one chav at my school when I was in year 8. He came up to me in the corridor once and asked what year I was in I said im in year 8 now piss off (he was obviously being a cheeky bugger because i was small) and he then spat in my eye. I can't remember how it ended but It wasn't perticually nice.

The next one was later in the year when one of my 'freinds' - she wasn't really a freind but i knew her. She had a boyfreind who was two years younger than her (he was about 11, she being 13) and I remember loads of us were taking the piss once and he turned on me and pushed me up against a wall, I swung a punch at his ribs but the teacher came and there was lots of commotion.

Admitidly I've had a pretty bad history but I still think chavs are wankers.

[LeoZ]

thrope park last friday.

a seven year old in a tracksuit comes up to me and my friends:

"YOUS GOT A SPARE FAG LIKE?"

I politely tell him "no". Last year an even smaller one came up to me in the arcade and asked if I had a lighter. Thorpe park seems to be full of toddlers smoking.

[Fezwald]

A small chav (at the most 10) lit up a fag in the bus station me and my friends were in today. His 2 friends (same age) were looking at him like he was brilliant and really kissing his ass "oh mate liek gizza fag, you got 1 like" and " oh mate you're well sound". Later after getting on the bus and sitting down they were putting on these black eyeslit balaclavers they'ed bought from a shop called "soldier of fortune", I presumed for Halloween. The old lady sitting next to them looked terrified, felt really sorry for her :nana:

[Cjw]

Isn't lady soverign just a bizzare wink wink nudge nudge pisstake to jump on a current trend that the GLC do a damnsite better and a damnsite funnier?

Nme seem to big her up, oddly enough. :/

thrope park last friday.

Heh, i was there last friday. Place is a troublemaker magnet.

[kamakazi_llama]

thats a cracker!

I remember this mini chav once coming up to me and a mate in the street. Tracky bottoms tucked in socks.. the works. He said "Here mate, ya gunna sort us owt with a fag?" I said "No". The chav replied "Aw come on man, Ill give you this cheesecake, you'll be propeer buzzing with this cheesecake man". I swear to god thats the truth, in his hand he had one of them like mini yoghurt/cheesecake things!!!

It just doesnt happen!!!

CHAV = Councel House And Violent

[MichaelJackson]

If everyone hates chavs why has nobody done anything?
Looks like the Weebls-stuff gang will have to save the world again. I suggest a new group, The Chav-Busters.

Basically it works like Ghostbusters. If you see a chav call us and we will come and suck them into a hoover. I know where we can get a van and some old hoovers, all we need is some money to buy a couple of bases around the country (england) and some recruiting stations.

Together we can win the war against bad grammer.

Seriously though, I think more of those anti-hoodie laws should be made only for baseball caps. Not all year round though, just in winter when they aren't needed.

[Simon]

I just think that anyone who wears burberry nickelson or a hood and cap at the same time should be subject to arrest and sentencing without trial. It will cut out the middleman and if you catch an innocent person, well, what can they do? :D Maybe they will learn their lesson and have some real style.

[Cjw]

Together we can win the war against bad grammer.

It's not just chavs that i've seen using txt speak. Many of the other social groups too.

And i think you should stop assuming that everyone who wears a hooded top is a bloody criminal :rolleyes:

[mos_koshee]

this may not be on topic with the topic, but would someone explaining what these co-called "chavs" are? also, are they dominantly white. here in canada there are mainly white kids who think they are black and ask you if thats an iPod you're listening to, and if not what is it and how much does it cost. I seem to be able to avoid these types, having only run into them on one occasion.

[Liz]

i never had any problems with chavs when i went to school, but i did do alot of hanging around in parks drinking cider and so on when i was 13, so maybe i was one myself? Anyway, i must have grown out of it.

I'm from Doncaster, and two years ago, got set up with my own house in Bentley, how was i supposed to know its chav central! And it is too. My car is usually used as a chalk board for keys.....

Anyway, i stumbled accross this:

http://www.chavtowns.co.uk/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=981

run a search on somewhere near you. Its a funny site.

[Fezwald]

Nice find Miss Liz

One place reported very close to where I live :)

CHAV = Councel House And Violent

Chav actually stands for Council house association victim, although most people don't know that so its got itself some other meaings too!

[Al]

It's all in italics :(

Didn't you attend Not Putting Long Passages In Italics 101?

I like chavs. They give me self-worth. They're the penny coins of the social denominations.

[CoX]

Unfortunately I live in Chav City.

Thats right. Harold Hill, Romford, ESSEX.

Every other day I am asked by some of the kids from the local school (King's Wood) if I have a fag, and every other day I tell them no. I manage to keep out of trouble from the local chav population, mainly because I am friends with a lot of the chavvy girls and they think i'm sweet, and the boys don't want to look bad in front of them.

I usually take the intelligent stance. Armed with witty comebacks such as "Do you mind? You're using valuable air." and the general favourite "Hmmm. No." I leave the chav confused and dumbfounded whilst I carry on my way.

My favourite articles from that site Liz posted about Romford have to be these (http://www.chavtowns.co.uk/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1488) two. (http://www.chavtowns.co.uk/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1481)

[RobW]

It's not just chavs that i've seen using txt speak. Many of the other social groups too.



Chavs don't use text speak, they abuse it, in my opinion anyway.


I remember at Bradford station I was a bit peckish and was waiting in line for some of those unhealthy chips, these chavettes were having a little social gathering there. They made fun of the Japanese lady talking on the phone in Japanese, but this lady kept on smiling, not like if she was a chav worker, as then she'd righ brey da kidz askin fer da food moosh. There was also a 11 year old or something there smoking, I gave him les evilles and he kept on smoking, how suave... ¬¬

These chavettes got on the same train as us, me and my friends, we pwned their asses, I can safely say.

[Unreal]

Like most chavs the ones i know just live outside the shops constantly smoking, the last little 10 year old smoking chav that came up to me became an ash tray for his own ciggarette. Also i take great joy in correcting their english. Shup = shut up, warer = water. I swear they can't say their ts

The best chav moment i've seen was this little 12 year old tried to hold up our school bus with a BB gun and the kid behind him knocked him out with his boot bag.

The reason i hate chavs is most likely because a few years ago i got beaten up by 6 of them. Oh well i've had the worst of them so i just mess them about and watch what they try and do.

[Dr_nwa]

charvers!

I love charvers. It really helps having a shaved head and an attitude to match. Like that, you never get any aggro.

there was one night that i found funny. I was out at the pictures with the long suffering Mrs Nwa. We were standing outside having a fag, when three (fat) charver girls came up to us and started asking very strange questions about football, our ages, which one of the two of us was older than the other, then repeating each question multiple times.
They where (were?) wasted and it was fucking hilarious. I'm pretty sure they were drinking vodka out of macdonald milkshakes.
My brother, little tyke that he his, admitted to me that he is a chav. He was drunk, dresses like a skater and actually is a proper grunge kiddie, but i still buried him under my floor.

Also, has anyone noticed the proliferation of charvers that dress like skaters?
I like to call them Chavungers. Little wankers.

[McFrenzy]

Well my experience comes in the form of one of my customers, I will call him Lee and I will explain about his situation.
He has a girlfriend who is known for her wonderings off with other men. On one of this wonderings she got herself pregnant, nine months later baby chav is born and happy families continue, three months later Lee's sister gives birth and happy families continue....whats so odd is the fact that both kids have the same father so brother and sister become parents and the kids themselves are half brothers! what is wrong with these people?

[N@0m!]

My most recent experience with chavs was Sunday. It was Trafalger day, and I'm a Sea Cadet. So; every year we parade thought the town in dress uniform with a small Guard, of which I'm a member, escorting the colour. So we do our normal stop outside the church, halt, and a general salute. A group of chavs from my school is sitting there smoking and I hear: "Oh lookie there lads, it's Naomi innit! Didn't know she was one of thoses gay army people." But this is a common occourence so i think nothing of it until after wards.

I walked back to catch a train home (i know; in uniform, plus the white anklets and belt we wear in a guard.) I get off my train in my town and start walking home. I live down a back lane, a really crappy back lane without streetlights; and I've been silly enough to walk down it by myself, white anklets belt and hat are kinda conspicous...
Then I hear, "Oh lookie lads, Its Naomi again." and see a band of chavs sitting on on a wall, still smoking. So i do my normal polite hello, it normally gets rid of them. Not today it seems; i get "Well, didn't know you were, like, a cadet. Bit gay, innit?" I'm still walking until one actually pulled up in front of me on his bike so i give them the standard response; at least I'm doing something i'm proud of etc...

Well; until one of the kicks me in the shin; so i kick the bastard back for once i'm loving my parade boots and a little while later I'm in my house attending to a kick in the head and what my first aid training tells me is a broken rib or two. Although it was worth it because my friends father is a police officer :P

[kamakazi_llama]

Chav actually stands for Council house association victim, although most people don't know that so its got itself some other meaings too!

Christ... I didnt even know it stood for anything, I just got that difinition from the urban dictionary!

[Mr stabby]

yesterday at the snooker club a chav decided to throw his brand name soft drink over me, for no reason other than i beat his mate for a fiver.
So i confronted said chav, and tried to force him to do the honourable thing and apologise, in which he cracked me round the head with the club.
But being the mentally impaired type, he hit me with the thin end, so in retalliation, i punched him once or twice.
Needless to say, the beast was stunned, and walked out with him mate cursing me.Also i didnt get my fiver winnings:(

[Angel@heart]

erm well....looooong story coming up...and only a small reference to anything chav like.
My friends and i were out one afternoon after school just sitting around chatting and we saw this girl in a pink top running for her life past us. We thought nothing of it until 5 minutes later a group of young girls (i mean young) started walking up towards where we were. They looked a bit suspicious so we all got up and started walking home. I was with my boyfriend and my bestfriend and her boyfriend were in front. They were walking off quite fast but we couldn't be bothered running.
We'd only walked a metre or so when the group of girls came up to us and asked us whether we'd seen a girl in a pink top and we told them about the girl running past us. We started to walk off again and the older girl out of all of them (she must have been 13) came up to me and said "It was you wasn't it. You're the one who called me a slag in the park" I told her i didn't know what she was going on about and started to walk off again when all her friends started getting rowdy and saying "i remember now it wasn't a pink top it was a purple top like she's wearing" so the older girl started to pick a fight and my boyfriend told her to shove off but she wouldn't and she pulled my necklace and punched me in the head three times, giving me a black eye and a bleeding lip. My boyfriend took me to the nearest house and asked the old man if we could stay in his porch. We told him what happened and he told the girls to go away as they were outside his front garden shouting things at my boyfriend and i.

That was the scariest thing i've ever been through i know it sounds stupid!!!
Oh well.... :nana:

[Smartie]

odd as it may seem, you need to stand up to these people.
They pick on others to get a kick out of being frightened. And if you're gonna get punched anyway, you might as well get one in yourself. To remind that to think twice about it in the future.
I always carry a vuaxhall corsa with me, everywhere I go. Darned useful because they can crush limbs in mere seconds.

[Captain]

Chavs don't bother me. After getting a reputation of being able to fight back and win then they just avoided me.
Of course there are always new comers. He joined our school and all the chavs "hung out" with him out of school so he was accepted straight away in their "gang."
I was walking past with my mates. They were all stood there smoking. My friend said for a joke "Hows cancer going lads?" All the others just sayed "shup" but the new kid wasn't happy. He walked over and punched my mate in the face. I wasn't having some snot faced chav hitting my mate so i walked over nd told him to do it to me.
He went for the hit but i had hit him before he could even touch me.
Then he was going to start a real fight, but all his mates stopped him.

Chavs should be burned at the stake.

[Katie_D]

I can't be bothered to type it out again so I'm just going to copy and paste it from my blog -

We were walking home through a wood once when we were followed by two chavvy kids.

Kid - You look like a fucking gippo!

*silence*

Kid - Are you a fucking gippo? NO!

I assume I should have been hurt by this comment, but I fail to see why I should be upset about the fact that I actually own a house and have morals. Oh dear...I live in a proper society. Please, someone introduce me to the magical world of gypsies where I shall live in a magical 2 by 4 caravan with ten children and wash in random rivers. I have no problems with gypsies, I'd like to make that clear, but I was followed almost home by one so they're not my favourite kind of people at the moment. It was only just before they left us alone that I realised that the child I thought was a boy was actually a girl, which I explained to them in the most startled tone of voice. He/she then explained in a rather cocky way that he/she ws a girl, although it did sound rather sarcastic so me and Ian are still clueless.

This not the first encounter I have had with our caravaning friends. Once me and a friend were about to go through the drive through in McDonalds, when a young boy came up on a bike. Well, I say bike, it was a BMX bike the kind that could be used for Action Men. At first we though he was going to mug us so we were cautious, but he just leant on the car and we engaged in the following conversation -

Him - Are you into tha' TFI'in an' tha'?
Friend - Um...no. Sorry.
Him - Ahhh, lets get some bangin' choons an' tha' on!
Friend - Um...no, you're all right mate.

At this point, my friend began to drive on, but the kid grabbed his window meaning he had to stop.

Me - No Rich, drive! DRIVE!

At this point, the kid started doing what I can only describe as either a gypsy curse or a load of bollocks.

Kid - Yah look at me I'm a gypsy MC!(This went on for about 5 minutes, I didn't hear anything else)

Rich - Yeah mate, good for you. *drives off*

So yeah...I say gypsy, but it was a chav. Havnt had any encounters since. It always seems to be the young ones who go for me. :(

Edit - Just incase anybody here is a traveller, I would like you to know I do not have a problem with this. However, these particular people really annoyed me so I felt it right to document it.

[Cjw]

I always carry a vuaxhall corsa with me

That can't be good for posture can it? :p

[Glitch]

I sometimes provoke chavs just for the comedy value. I've never actually had one do anything - other than shout such intellectual things as "Shup - specker" and "Harry fooking Potter". IQ of a hole in the ground.

[mos_koshee]

wow, these chav types seem to be unfriendly buggers. they're all young too. man, you britishers have it tough. but then again, if they're all small, they should be rather easy to fight i suppose.

[TX_101]

if they're all small, they should be rather easy to fight i suppose.

But they aren't all small, that's the problem.

[mos_koshee]

well, i meant the younger ones. unless they are neanderthal-ishly tall. (im not sure if neanderthals were tall)

[carpefula]

My brother always gets targeted for being an emo fag.

He now calls me tyson because i once head butted a chav for trying to beat him up...

Only i get to call him emo fag

[Meadow]

Two Chavs cycled up to me and my dad while we waited at the station for the London train yesterday. There were abotu three or four others there. To give you an idea of what's coming, my dad's 6 foot 3, dresses smartly, and talks 'all proper like'. Quite a groovy chap.

Anyhoo, one of them skids to halt and splashes mud all over a poor woman on a bench, and then actually apologises. Sounded like he meant it, too. Then he asks 'anyone got a lighter?'

My dad, being an outgoing sort of fellow, turns around and says 'No, sorry.'
Chav mutters something about 'gays'.
My dad (bless him) - 'Actually I've seen that a lot of homsexuals actually smoke.'
Chav (now cycling down platform to harass others for lighters) - 'yeh'.
Chav 2 (sounding genuine here, still not sure) - 'Sorry about my friend, everybody.'

So there we have it. Had I been on my own, I fear the situation could have got a lot nastier, but things generally don't when there's a burly 6 footer standing next to you.

Oh, another story. Got mugged by what were probably the worst chavs in the world on the train the other day with a pal. They did the usual 'surround you with bikes and bodies' thing, then asked if we had phones. We both said no, even though we did.

Then one of them (the ring leader chap, incidentally the only non-white person, he was mixed-race) grabbed Phil (my mate)'s wallet which he had on a chain. He pulled it hard until the chain broke, and someone yanked Phil's hair to stop him trying to stop the ringleader chav type.

Now here's the rub.

Neither of us had any money at all on us. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. These hapless morons had chosen the mug the probably only penniless private school students currently travelling on the British Rail Network. The ringleader turned on me, and got a bit rougher than with Phil, going through my pockets, smacking me around the head (not punching, I don't think he had the guts) twice, and then pissing himself when I stood up (I get my height from my dad) and ordering me to sit down. I did so, because quite frankly, I didn't have a choice.

After shouting 'WHERE'S YER CASH?!!!!?!' very loudly several times, he took my phone. A Nokia 3310. (crap) Then he gave it back.

A CHAV GAVE ME BACK THE PHONE HE HAD JUST TAKEN. HE PUT IT IN MY HAND. He didn't chuck it on the floor or anything, he actually put it in my hand. Then he finally took my travelcard, which can't be used without the accompanying photocard. Which he didn't take.

DUUUUUH. HELLO, I'M A CHAV. BLUUUUUUUUUURGH INNIT.

Sorry, but a bit carried away there.

Incidentally, the three other people in the carriage did nothing at all to come to our aid. Chaming.

[Dibbie]

Chav actually stands for Council house association victim, although most people don't know that so its got itself some other meaings too!Actually, it doesn't stand for that at all just as Fuck doesn't stand for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". There is no known definitive of the origin of the word "chav" but wikipedia hes this to say:

The word "chav" is most commonly held to be a distortion of the Anglo-Romany word charvi meaning "child". This word could have entered the English language through English dialects which have borrowed Romany words, such as Cockney where other Romany loan words are common (e.g. mush for "friend"), or Palare a coded slang used first by travelling circus communities, and more recently in theatrical societies and among sections of the gay community.

I have to say i am somewhat a chav magnet and i live in stockport (see the aforemention chavtowns website. It's right on the money) and it is not a good combination. I once thought one of them was seriously going to kill me, because after a particularly shit day after school he jumped on my back. I grabbed him by the arms and threw him over my shoulders. He ended up shaking my hand and running as fast as his ginger legs could carry him (no offence to our carrot-topped chums)

No criticism has been made of Emos as yet though. The majority of them are witty, interesting people. The rest obbsessive psychopaths who draw guns and pictures of MCR wherever they can, at least as bad as the worst chav.

I soon as i can i'm moving to Ireland. People are much nicer over there

I thought it stood for Council House Accomodated Vermin??

[cybex]

I remember the day when i lost my cherry coke! It was a sad day for all! I feel sorry for you!

And i always thought chav standed for council housed and vulgur.

[GorillaBearBear]

Council House and Violent was the one I heard, but it's one of those words there are so many stories that it might not be right. Probably all of them are apocryphal. The ones I've heard are

Council House and Violent
Council House and Vulgar
Council House Associated Vermin
Chatham Average
Cheltenham average...
there's more, but I cannae remember. I personally like the third one

I always get asked for a lighter and constantly repeat 'I don't smoke shitbag' but i've got a reputation down in dorset as my brother knows all the chavs. So, chavs actually HELP me out when i'm in fights but i think there all utter fuckers anyway sometimes i get scared when they hurt my friends but not me.

This one time on the way home 4 chavs cycled past us turned round rode past us and kicked my friend (Liam) I siad kindly "Do that again and i'll kick YOU"

Oh, good times they rode of after that.

[bionic sheep]

That reminds me, who actually said on these boards; "A chav headbutting you with a cap on is oddly amusing, like an enraged duck" was it Bionic Sheep? Me forgettage.

That was me. :)

Anyway. Several months ago I was assaulted by two lovely young chaps. They beat the shit out of me. Didn't get any of my stuff, though.

I reported it to the police, but they didn't do anything. They didn't even turn up until five hours later.

They still hang around at the bottom of my road. I'm afraid to walk into town. That's how bad it is.

I hate people.

:(

[Preasure]

Being the usualy mild and self concious chap I am, I usually keep out of trouble with chavs. My tiny social life also helps. :p Mostly when I go out I need a lift to where I'm meeting my friends, as I live miles away from them. Worst I've ever had is having abuse yelled at me by two matcho pillocks because I was waiting alone for someone outside the school.

[terrorbite]

Last year while at uni, I rented a house wth 3 other friends. Little did we know that across the road was a chav house. Luckily they left us alone most of the time, since we let them park their car on our drive once.

But omg, there must've been a million people living in that house. There was always loads of people coming and going, and all they ever did was stand around in front of their house 24/7.

Here is a story posted I posted on this thread (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39538&page=2&pp=15):
A couple of years ago, my friend and I bought a curry from a takeaway and decided to eat it on a wall, which was right next to a busy main road. A kid of about 15 came up to us and asked for money for the bus, to which we said no... but then a few of his friends appeared out of nowhere with balaclavas on. Obviously a scare tactic. They asked for money and our mobiles. I said I didn't have my phone on me (even though I did), but I gave them a couple of quid to get rid of them. I didn't want to, but you never know if twats like that are carrying knifes.

[Phishes]

Well, me and my friends were going to the shop for some sweeties etc, and there were about 5 or 6 chavettes sat outside, As we walked into the shop one of them came in after us and said that one of us called her friend a slag. Which was untrue.
We joined the queue and we were constantly being hassled by the smelly rodents, asking us why we called her a slag and so on and so forth. In the end we just walked away, and one of the scabs threw it's can of cherry coke at me. it landed at my feet, so I kicked it back.
I then walked off very fast.

The most embarrassing thing about this story is that the chavettes are 1 year younger than us, so we could have easily stood up to them, but they might have got some 'big ard mates to come and twat us' so we decided not to have anything to do with them.

[McFrenzy]

Tonight I went to pick up my friend from work, he works in a Chav capital along the south coast called Littlehampton.
The place has rough areas and he works lates, he called me to ask for a lift as he was getting grief and they were saying they would get him when he finished work.

I drove the 40 mins to collect him, when I got there he was being shoved about outside his workplace, so I mounted the pavement and jumped out the car, they backed off as I am a big bloke who makes some people nervous not on purpose.

Anyway I told them all to fook off and warned them if I see them about I will slap a new world onto them as I fookin hate bullies.
Anyway long story short they started to get brave when some more of them gathered and got close to me and one of them had a rock (muppet) so I whipped out the trouser snake and pissed on them....

I don't know why I did it but recently I see so many Chav arseholes hanging about and picking on people and the police never do anything about it. And my mate is such a softie he didn't ask to be hassled that way.
So there it was a group of eight or nine Chavs getting soaked in Piss, I mean the look on there faces was worth a mint as they were completely dumb struck, so was my mate and I was just pissing away , they then buggered off fairly shaarpish shouting abuse but none the less I think I have dampend thier spirits.

I still can't understand why I did it it was just the only solution I could find other than laying into them.
My wife thinks it is stress, my mate thinks it is the best thing he had seen all year, he reckons they will be out the way for some time to come :D

[esquilax]

That was me. :)

I reported it to the police, but they didn't do anything. They didn't even turn up until five hours later.

Hah. When I got 'chavved' the police turned up almost immediately, then they made me use my friend's bike to cycle up a hill to the police station (I didn't even know where it was so I had to follow the signs). All this whilst bleeding profusely from my mouth. Left a nice trail.

[sweaty_b]

Ive had no encounter of my own with chazs other then been shout abuse at because i have ginger hair. However my mate being a quite witty bloke has started to call them the chavellry every time they ride past on there bikes and that seems to get them pretty badly pissed of.

[Flava Dave]

So all chavs are poor then?

[Chassisbot]

I got apples thrown at me once. Although they may have been quinces, I was running too fast to check.

[Dude]

Actually, it doesn't stand for that at all just as Fuck doesn't stand for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". There is no known definitive of the origin of the word "chav" but wikipedia hes this to say:


I thought Fuck stood for "Fornicate Under the Command of the King".

[fythbro]

Yesterday morning a small chav walked past me, punching his small balled paw into the open palm of his other hand. Considering i was dressed as a complete antisocial metalhead, and could had hit him to the floor with one punch, i think he was very brave or very stupid.

[drunk_monk]

Where i live there is no or atleast very few chavs. But there are people who are very simular who think they are tougher than everyone else, the allways wear Nike or adidas branded clothes. If you have a new iPod or other gadget they allways want you to explain what it is what it does and most of the time play on it, only good thing about these kind of people is they would rarely steal from you.

[Erskien_Parkour]

I get lots of "get a hair cut ya long haired freak" the best counter to that is to just point at them and hahah at them...it confuses them, also if you ahve long hair all you need to say to them to confuse them is "get a hair cut ya freak"....ahhh happy days

[maw3193]

My main tactic for avoiding chavs (or asshats in general) is to walk past them, ignore them, but walk with purpose to prove that you are not 'fresh meat'

My brother chipped in with the advice that, should they ask "wut yu looken a?", reply, "dunno, label's come off", strangely enough, they take it as a compliment.

[McFrenzy]

I have had that a couple of times before "Wot u lookin at" I useally stop dead in my tracks and look at them and reply "You, you fookin moron what of it"

Silence follows and some mumblings I then carry on, if they say "well don't" I usually approach them slowly and ask "why the fook not your ugly enough to be stared at"

Often they are all talk, bullies usually are :D

[Erasmus]

It's been proven that some animals with extremely small brains are un-aware of their own existance (such as ants)

this might explain why, when you're looking at a chav, he asks "wha' you lookin' at?"

[carpefula]

I thought Fuck stood for "Fornicate Under the Command of the King".


Yes apparently that's what it means..... ie you could only have sex whilst married, so FUCK came to become a slang word for sex.

[McFrenzy]

LMAO :D

You just may have explained it :D

[terrorbite]

Nah, you should do this:


"What you lookin' at?"

"I dunno, but I hope to god its not a mirror."

[JimmywiT]

my worst experiance was once in London, 3 rather huge black guys started walking behind me, right behind me one of them said "oy mate!" i kept walking, but they grabbed me and forced me against the wall, and proceded to go though my pockets, i stupidly tried to pull thier hands out my pockets, and one punched me in the face, and pulled out a knife and threatned to "cut me". So by then i was utterly defeated and they took 5 pounds from my wallet, but they didn't stealmy phone as they wouldn't of got any cash for it (it was very old and very cheap). It was a pretty scary experience.

Not really a "chav" experience though.

[OKO]

Hm, well. I live in a decent area; but when you proceed four hundred metres up the road; your in Chav City with a Co-Op. They all hang around there threaten to steal my bike; stupid fuckers still try to unlock it when I come back outside; thankfully Police are normally around there; so they stopped immediately.
But when I play Football with my friends at a park near there; I'm walking to a pub where my Dad normally picks me up; one of them tries to stubb me with a lit cigerette. And then a couple of days ago; my Mom went up to the shop to get some bread/milk. As she comes out someone starts groping his bullocks; my Mom tells him to go away politely; as he walks forward to her; he threatens to slash our Jaguar Tires; so my Mom comes home unhurt but pissed off from that experience.

Every time she goes there now; me and my Dad go; and from somewhere- my Dad has got a Nightstick; god knows where. They dont say a damn thing now though.

[sweaty_b]

This is not really a chav experience, but my freind recently told me of something that goes on in the council estate up the road which i found quite amusing. Every time one of them gets an ASBO (anti social behavior order) that bans them from going so many hundred meters away from their house, and normally restricts them from going up the village, they swap houses. Yes they actually swap houses with another person on the estate so they can go where they want, i found this quite amusing, but then realised that they where probably related to most the people on the estate anyway so it would not be quite as strange as i first thought.

[Ouch!]

ah chavs.... we call them Pikeys, or knackers over here. Scobies is also an acceptable word

Was on the public transport system one day. I couldn't help but laugh though. This poor young scobie sat down from me. She was really really... ehm...... large. With hair that was fairly matted and she looked like she hadn't just been hit with the ugly stick. She was beeten with it! Shower's didn't exist to this girl. Baby showers maybe, but i doubt it. What was funniest though was the fact that she had the zip of her clearly fake fred perry tracksuit down and the slogan on her t-shirt nearly killed me from laughing.

"You wish"

[whiskers]

i live in a road which is inhabited mainly by chavs, and i get these 10 year olds asking if i have a spare cigarette, and the older ones call me sexy (they mean it offensively because we all know im not) and its awful. its so sad that you cant walk out of your house without being harrassed.

and my friend is a boy and has long hair and they have been calling him a lady-boy for the past two years. you'd have thought it would get old after a while.

[fythbro]

Walking home from school i had some old biddy chav ask me if i was a boy. I said yes, and she said "Well yer don' luk loik one, yer luk loik a ponce! Git yer air ut!". She seriously spoke like that. Seriously.

[i_stalk_badgers]

I work with a right pair of chavs. That said, they're a lovely couple, except when I found them scouring ebay for burberry baby clothes. *shudder*

[Ben]

i think chavs are noobs lol

[Twatybollocks]

The chav at Macdonalds last night made me chuckle. I'd ordered two of the ham, pepperoni and cheese deli subs (the only decent thing on their menu these days) paid for them and a few mins later she told me they didn't have any ham so I changed them to chicken tika ones. 10 mins later she passed them over and gave me a mindless grin and I said, "You owe me 40p btw" She looked at me and said, "Oh? Do I?" I pointed up at the menu...minutes later it was like a light bulb had popped over her head as she workewd out the chicken tika delis where 20p cheaper than the one's I'd paid for.

She whips out some keys, opens the till and passes me the money without making a note of it and moves on to the next victim...customer. I was about to tell her her till would be down if she didn't make a note of it (as she never changed the order) but then I realised...silly me...of course the till would be down anyway..she's a chav and has probably already helped herself to at least a tenner by now! ;)
