Yep, Dixbie has it right. Chavs were/are pikeys' kids. A good argument for eugenics laws, IMHO ... The fashion statement that goes with the term today is godawful - burberry and more of the same. People who believe (like me) that the chav clothing and life styles are rubbish refer to them as "chavscum"

If you really, really need to know more (and you don't, you know you don't) then go to the official chavscum website at (believe it or not) http://www.chavscum.co.uk/
