this is like someone posting photos of black guys with dreads and people responding back with "those are (n word)s bruv"
chav is a classist slur that means working class person
Even if chav meant working class, which it doesn't, why is that a bad thing?
Working class implies the vast majority of people in the country... CHAV is a specific set of male violent thugs, so whilst it is a slur... it's wrong to imply it describes ALL working class people, when the majority of them aren't scummy violent thugs.
