BTW do you know what a "chav" mean?

Him: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:28:55
yup

Him: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:29:06
not on wikipedia yet :) you should add it

Him: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:29:32
yup - I know what a chav is

Him: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:29:37
what's your guess?

Me: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:29:42
I was watching the standup comedian the other day, who were performing
in UK. He used the word many times, and people did seem to understand it.
But it's not in the MW :)

Me: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:29:51
well,my guess was pretty simple

Me: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:29:57
Since he was referring to the 3 UK reporters as a 'chavs'
- and the next minute called them 'whores' and 'cunts' -
I believe it's kinda offensive, isn't it?

Him: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:36:22
a chav is like an uneducated person who drinks a lot and
gets into trouble - usually teenagers or in 20's who
booze it, might have bikes, and are generally loud and
offensive and appear uneducated (but may not be uneducated,
in which case, read: 'city wankers')

Me: Fri Dec 22 2006 22:37:38
Oh, I was wrong then. I thought it indeed is kind of a "whore"
- but it surely isn't. OK, thanks for the explanation.
