I don’t know what a Chav is. My parents were from KY, and so were their parents. Beyond that, I don’t know. I do know that my Father’s side of the family came from England sometime in the 1700s. I also know that I didn’t have 2 paternal uncles named John. :)
Well, maybe they were the 18th C. version of chavs...they probably were if they ended up in the Colonies.
