Re: oops
Light-hearted thread about the word chav, following an apology by Obnoxio The Chav. Cartlon Shew asked what a chav was. Neil Truby gave a link and described it as an in-your-face member of the English lower orders in fake designer clothes and bling, possibly derived from Chatham. No technical content.

WTF is a "chav", anyway? I think I liked you better when you were a clown.

An in-yer-face member of the English lower orders, often dressed in (fake) Burberry or von Dutch and loads of bling. The word is believed to be a corruption of Chatham, the area in the Thames Estuary where they were first identifed as a tribe.
