In Spanish, chav o(a) means a young person. In Puerto Rico, they use the word "chavos" as a slang term for money, as in "I don't have the chavos yet. Payday is tomorrow." Quote:

Neat article, m--thanks for posting it!
sovereign rings Rings made from, or made to look like, gold coins?
‘council-house facelift’ Struck me as not very nice, but having learnt that a council estate more or less equates to our housing projects, I think I got that one.
deeply insulting pikey Don't know if I've heard the word pikey, but I wouldn't have known it was "deeply insulting". I know piker is, though I don't know what it means.

Enjoyed that article.
First read "council house facelift" as originating with the wearers, and thought it was pretty funny, then reconsidered.
First read "chav" as "schav," a cold soup made with "sour grass," to add something apropos nothing.
