I'm usually quite good with British slang, but this one is new to me. Please explain what a 'chav' is?
(The website is giving me a fairly good idea, but still, I'd like to hear a definition, please!)

Well, like I said, the website gave me a decent idea, and if I read it right, oh, believe me, we have plenty of 'em here!
(... her? Hey, I know Raven is used as a girl's name frequently, but still, no jumping to conclusions. You'll be disappointed.)

Hmmm, yup, that's about what I figured, and we have plenty of them over here in Canada, too. They're all over the downtown east side of Vancouver, so, most non-chavs stay well away from there.
(Hell, I think I ran into a few genuine chavs when I was in England years ago!)
Thanks!
