It's a term that's out of fashion now. Sorry, I should have thought that if everybody over here had been using the word "chav" instead for the last ten years, that'd make no sense at all to an American. (Sadly, I don't have an etymological dictionary with herbert in it it, so I have no idea what the origin of that one is.)
