But once you get over the absolutely horrid 'uniform' that these kids wear, they're just kids underneath. And many are really lovely kids who will hopefully grow out of their chavness and become decent human beings. For some, they can't help being chavs because that's all they know.

Give 'em a chance - they may well surprise you!

Just saying.

I dont understand how a handbag is chavish? Dont most chicks carry them?

Loads of a-holes talk loud on their phones not only chicks dressed like this. People have been bellowing on their phones for yonks now.

White socks with black shoes is unstylish. There is no getting past that, I'm afraid.

Actually depends on the socks and the shoes. I have a cute pair of heeled mary janes that I have worn with those super short white socks and I think it looks super cute. That is me though.

Pfft... don't ask me about fashion - I'm in Essex.(Although I reserve the right to be known as the cockney sparrow, not the essex girl).

White socks with black shoes are better than socks and mandles any day though.

Whoops - I always mix up Cheltenham with Chelmsford. 

Just gone a-googlin' - it seems that the Chelmsford Average thing is quite a popular belief, though the bigger consensus goes with the Romany derivation (chavvy=youth - or similar - apparently).

I'm entirely willing to take your word for it regarding Essex girls' stylishness, T.D.  I've only ever seen them in newspapers.

Nonono, we're talking about the mens! Black dress shoes with white socks and a dark suit=NOT COOL.

Mary janes are a whole separate issue-I'm sure they look lovely

Im just waiting for the brylcream ads to start again.
Regarding Chavs, they didnt have that name when I lived there so I had to look at thechavsUK site which made me feel very sad.

Awww... see I find that endearing.  I dislike old spice, but it does bring back fuzzy feelings when I get a whiff because it reminds me of when I was a little girl.  How old is your dad (if you dont mind me asking)?  See if he's in his late 50's or older, that's kinda sweet.

Origin of 'chav', from a Romano language glossary at http://www.larp.com/jahavra/language.html

Chavi - girl
Chava - boy

So there it is.

The only other word I recognised was 'kushti', meaning 'good' - which has made its way into Cockney.  But a lot of the words look/sound like they've got English roots.

Status: offline 		They're not exactly Chavs but we have girls like that in Australia too. Skunk hair girls with too much eyeliner, too short skirts, and $50 vinyl handbags with a D&G or LV logo on it.

And they seem to date guys whose entire wardrobe consists of t-shirts, hoodies, jeans that don't fit, track pants that don't fit, and sneakers.
