I'm sure some of you can remember "The Charver Song" I mentioned some time ago, for those of you that don't then it's here
It in effect takes the mickey out of the music they listen to, and most of the stuff they say
(If it wasn't for some guy named Richard Kell, who works for one of the local radio stations where I live, and some radio anorak who seemed to focus mainly on the said station at one point, then we wouldn't have this :grin: )
by the way, this thread is a good idea, thanks Amy :grin:

The first song I composed on the guitar was a rather simple little tune called "kill the charvers". So simple it's embarrassing:
Main riff / chorus
A -0-1-3-3-0-1-4-
E -0-1-3-3-0-1-4-
Words: "kill the charvers, kill them all"
other riff (no words):
A -33333333-22222222-
E -11111111-22222222-
Main riff / chorus
A -0-1-3-3-0-1-4-
E -0-1-3-3-0-1-4-
Words: "kill the charvers, kill them all"
other riff (no words):
A -33333333-22222222-
E -11111111-22222222-

DW_a_mom: I believe the same general type of person is called many names (chav, charver, towny, ned, spide, white trash, etc etc) in different places.
strangefairy: Your grandmother was wise.

We also call them yobbos, yobs and ratbags.
If we object to rude, objectionable behaviour, we are "elitist" and "snobbish" but they think they can do anything they want and it's okay.
I blame much of it on the two world wars as many of the "best" young people (especially men) were killed off or injured too badly to have very many children. By "best", I'm saying that they were usually the healthiest.
Plus, we have mass media now that caters to the lowest common denominator in most cases.

If a Chav marries/gets together with somebody who isn't a Chav, will their children be Chavs or not?

hmmmm, maybe their children will only be half-chav

So that means if the children grow up and marry other non-chavs, and so on, eventually the chav-ness will disappear???

Or white trash or trailer trash???

Hmm. I don't about all this, guys. Ridiculing the welfare class seems like the sport of middle class ******* to me.

Chav intelligence, slang and trying to sound cool.
In the UK it's become popular for young people (particularly Chavs) to say 'init' after every sentence...apparently this confers upon one a degree of ‘street cred’.
Unfortunately not everyone understands this strange way of speaking.
I read this in a free newspaper at work in Friday.
A teenager reportedly ended up with a cabinet instead of a taxi because she asked directory inquiries for a "cab, innit".
The Londoner, 19, wanted a taxi to take her to Bristol airport, and first used the Cockney rhyming slang "Joe Baxi".
When the operator told her she couldn't find anyone by that name, the teen replied: "It ain't a person, it's a cab, innit."
The operator then found the nearest cabinet shop, Displaysense, and put the girl through.
She then spoke to a bemused saleswoman and eventually demanded: "Look love, how hard is it? All I want is your cheapest cab, innit. I need it for 10am. How much is it?"
The sales adviser said it would be £180 and the girl gave her address and paid with a credit card. The next morning, an office cabinet was delivered to her South London home.
The firm, of Bishop's Stretford, Hers, has now apologised and refunded her cash after the mix-up two weeks ago.
Marketing manager Steve Whittle said: "We thought it was a joke at first but the girl was absolutely livid. We have suggested that maybe she should speak a bit clearer on the phone."
