http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav

Chav, Chava or Charva is a derogatory term applied to certain young people in the United Kingdom. The stereotypical image of a chav is a white aggressive teen or young adult, of working class background, who wears branded sports and casual clothing (baseball caps are also common) who often fights and engages in petty criminality and are often assumed to be unemployed or in a low paid job.

So, what’s the difference between a “chav” and a “yob”.

Sounds like the gangbangers in our city. Making babies and buying NBA clothes while spray painting their graffitti.
