It's a British term, I'm not sure what the American equivalent would be, and I guess you guys don't get 'Little Britian' on TV over there so that won't help either.

If you google it, as I did, you'll find an interesting wikipedia entry about Chav's

I think the amreican term might be "wigger" "cracker" maybe a stretch to call it "white trash" from what I can tell.

More appropriate would be perhaps "redneck" :D

Mm.... I don't know. Chav isn't really redneck or hill billy-ish from what I gather... More like fake "gangstas" who partcipate in petty crimes.

Hence why I didn't know what an American equivalent would be.

I liked this quote from the Urban Dictionary ;

Quote:

Chavs unfortunately don't yet fall into the category of rodent and in effect cannot be bludgeoned to death under the guise of pest control. Darn!-
