The word Chav is still being used by British people, when it's derogatory, classist shorthand for working class British lads and it's not even subtle...
The so called "Chav" uniform - tracksuits, gold chains, caps and trainers, is literally just the standard uniform of British working class lads, so it's not even subtle..chav is a slur, not a subculture. The idea it is a subculture was a media fabrication.
Some restaurants have banned "sportswear" which also happens to specifically ban baseball caps, tracksuits, as well as certain brands of trainers. It's essentially a "working class lads are not welcome here" sign.
Britain has a huge classism problem.

There's no such thing as chav sub culture. The "chav" uniform of tracksuits and caps is just the standard attire of working class British lads.

But hey, if not, you can always make another account next month!
Gold chains are the standard uniform of the working class?
They are part of the typical attire of working class lads, yes.
Isn't this the country that puts some random person's pictures on all its money based solely on which vagina it came out of? You mean to tell me that country is classist? Who would have known?
Yawn.
You and this again? Grow up
You say that like that statement wouldn't be more appropriate for those who make the poor a boogeyman.
You say that like it is coherent with what Onomatopoeia said.
Oh hey it’s that chav.
If the name fits, be better.
Wait till you learn what Brits call cigarettes.
Or car guys transmissions
Imagine my confusion when I apologized to my grandpa for being late to Thanksgiving because I blew a tranny on the highway. I had no idea what he meant when he grabbed his wrenches and said "well let's fix it"
This guy again. What a weird fucking hill to die on.
I can see why people don't want you, and people like you around their higher class establishments.
Ok chav.
