    chav is a classist slur for working class people (working class people in the UK make up half the population btw)

        Yes, but OP was clearly just fishing for the obvious answer so as to throw a tantrum about it.

          Lmao, yes. Check out the history, another post in askuk, got same answer, went on same crusade.

          OP is fishing for conflict.

        it’s kinda like someone asking what their type is, they post photos of black guys with a specific fashion, and someone responds back with the n word as an answer

      I lived and worked in the UK for 10 years, not all working class are chavs.

      I would call them chav as well, just less burberry than when I was in the UK

        it’s still a classist slur used against the working class. let’s not use slurs to describe how people look?
