    I think it's the Clique's new word for 'pikey', but I've yet to hear of
    a Bear Decree mandating its use ..

    If only there was some kind of universal resource to hand where you could
    look into trivia like that as easily as typing "chav etymology".

    It comes from the Romany word for "child".

    I tend to mean Council House Adult Vermin when I call some one a Chav.

    According to The Times, it derives from the term applied by the young
    lovelies of Cheltenham Ladies College to the local male talent.

    "Cheltenham Average".

    It means you're using a different character set. It should be ß Ø ® G
