BR2Rev Algenon Stickleback HVictor Meldrew I blame it on the likes of "Call me Dave Cameron" wanting to be populist at a time when the ultimate chav David Beckham is still known by that very solid christain name.
A nice point, but anyone describing Beckham as a chav really has no understanding of the word.
Possibly the ultimate chav or if you like the god of chavs.
He may be considered a God by chavs, but he's long since passed being one, if he ever was. I don't think he's got any of these traits these days, especially "an exaggerated "tough" gangster-like voice"
From wikipedia -
Several stereotypical traits are associated with chavs; smoking, drinking and taking drugs in gangs on street corners and outside shops, petty thievery and violence,[13][page needed] vandalism and graffiti, an exaggerated "tough" gangster-like voice and lingo and foul, aggressive language (with common expressions such as "Am I bovvered" or "Warru on about"), council house/flat accommodation, unemployment and state benefits scrounging (and despite this still appearing to have money for show),[13][page needed] teenage girls being sexually promiscuous and smoking whilst pregnant,[14] driving a highly modified and chromed up Vauxhall Nova (in particular), Vauxhall Cavalier,[15] Ford Sierra, Ford Escort[16] or Austin Metro, usually souped up with alloys, stickers, oversized spoiler, side panels, exhaust pipe and engine,[17] painted white or in some flamboyant colour, enhanced speakers blasting hip-hop, R&B, garage,[18] drum and bass or rave/jungle music,[19] and chewing whilst being spoken to. Stereotypical chavs tend to sport skinheads,[14] or very short hair with short back and sides and fringe, usually gelled down.[citation needed] In northern British cities such as Manchester, it is fashionable for some chavs to sport longer hair and sides in the Mod fashion.[citation needed] "Chavettes" stereotypically wear their hair tightly scraped back into a ponytail or bun, known as the "Council house face lift".
