Do chavs know they're chavs?

[WhyTwo]

There seems to be lots of talk on here lately about chavs. Everyone who posts on a chav thread seems very sure of what does and doesn't constitute chav behaviour, and I assume that most contributors to the chav posts don't consider themselves to be chavs.

So it got me thinking. Do chavs actually know they're chavs? Example, that lottery winning chav teenager Callie Rogers or whatever her name was. Does she know that she exhibits many of the attributes commonly found in a chav and as such is considered a chav by most people on this forum? Does she simply not care or is she totally ignorant to the fact?

Oh and does this post make it into the 'how many times can you write the word chav in 2 sentences' hall of fame?

[V8mate]

Yes, they do.

I think the tragic thing is that they aspire to be a chav too.

"...I see chav people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're chavs...."

Being a chav is not a bad thing to a chav, they're proud of it.

I'll bet they don't.

Quick. We'd all best take a test to make sure WE aren't!

Chav Test

I've often wondered this.

Cripes. 22%.

22% chav - that'll be shopping at the Co-op in Wadebridge when staying at the second home, eating Co-op baked beans in Cornwall and Waitrose baked beans when at home in Bromley, and being state educated. Bit of a shock really.

Dumb question time! Where does the name come from, derivation?

I don't think they give a st.

Apparently some do not.

I was in Worcester a few weeks ago and was mortally cut up by a big ear-ringed bint in an old BMW. As I pulled alongside her at the traffic lights I suggested quite loudly that, 'Next time you're in the wrong lane you vacuous fat chav, why not just ram me and be done with it!'

She retorted by telling me to attempt self-copulation and that she was not an effing chav.

I thanked her for not contesting the 'vacuous' or 'fat' elements of my argument and drove on at which point I noticed in my mirror she was clearly a strong advocate of British Sign Language.

Classy bird.

You are 19% Chav!

I'm guessing co-op, pot noodle and taxpayer funded education makes me 19% chav.

7%, and it was the nan and tea comments that did for me

[cabby_gaz]

answered the questions totally honestly and got 33%, but seriously why would having carling in your fridge contribute in anyway to you being a chav??

7% for me too, I wear Classics and my brother in law wears an earring.

[carmadgaz]

A whole 22% woo.

Some people will suggest Council House And Violent, but I believe it originated from the Cheltenham Ladies College, the inmates of which I was known to occassionally frequent as a Teenager in the late eighties. They maintain it was coined to describe the local plebs, CHeltenham AVerage.

33% chav - bit worrying.

Not sure what shopping at the co-op or eating waitrose beans or state education has to do with it.
