Chavs?

I'm talking to this girl from the UK, and shes trying to explain the concept of "Chavs" to me, and I'm not getting it.

Does anyone get this? Like, they're lumping Snoop Dog, and the Christina Aguilera in the same category, and thats just not right.

I think they're supposed to be people who try to look really rich, but I'm not sure. The explanations on that site seem a bit vague. Then again I didn't look very hard, I guess I'm just a lazy American.

This is a very uninformed guess, but the gist seems to be "white, british homeies". Or perhaps soccer hooligans without a game to go to. Something like that.

Of course, I could be completely wrong.

No no! Shavs are what we call 'neds', they wear Adidas/Nike tracksuits, unshaven, hoddies, cause trouble, left school at 15 [legal over here] and have several kids, think of your white trash but with a horrible accent... They also wear burberry caps [you know, the brown and tan and red and black striped stuff?], anyway, they're the lowest of the lowest...

Combine 'euro-trash' with 'white trash' with 'wiggers' and then Britainify the result.

Britney in Burberry would be the perfect example of a chav - its common scum with either too much money and absolutely no class or real idea of style or it's trailer trash who try to dress above thier bank balance and choose all the wrong items and wear them like everyday.
The nearest I got to it was buying a Von Dutch top just as everybody else in the UK discovered them - luckily I dont think anybody saw me in it in public.
I dont think black people can be chavs - they dont actually dress to the same rules as us white folk - All you have to do (as a brit) is walk around anywhere in America the blackfolk are - so for example New York and see the street wear it's usually either super cool or preposterous (in my white eyes) the only thing worse than a black man dressed like a clown (which many of them seem to do) is when a white guy tries to copy the look - He just looks like a twat.
