Scally v Chav

[Challenger1978]

So which word do you use scally or chav ?

Personally I use scally and not that media concocted southern shite term chav. In fact it annoys the fuck out of me people using chav especially manc. As chav just sounds so fucking stuck up and southern to me.

 

[Banned Tosspot]

CHAV means Council House And Violent.

I'd agree with what you seem to be getting at that 'chav' has lost any meaning it might have had and just used as a general catch-all term to demonise/demean ordinary working class people now. I just say dickheads if I have reason to believe the people are dickheads.<br /><br />-- Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:06 pm --<br /><br />

CHAV means Council House And Violent.

That's a backronym

Scally is the proper term, chav is a media invented word used mainly by southerners.

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Not a lover of the word Chav, people seem to use it without knowing any real meaning behind it. However, the word scally has scouse undertones to it for me so grates on me

 

[Feed-The-Goat]

Scummy cunts i prefer to call them.

 

[brass neck]

allthough, geordies would traditionally call scallies "charvers" or something like that. The Scotts call them "Neds" I think.

Is scally short for scallywag?

I've been called a scallywag a long time ago.

The word 'chav', which derives from gypsy slang, has been appropriated by the middle classes to validate their snobbery. I realized how bad this had got about 8 years ago when my best mate's girlfriend at the time, a girl with Cheshire Set pretensions, described cheddar as 'chav cheese'.

I remember an episode of Auf Wiedersen Pet from 1986,in which Oz refers to a local troublemaker/lout as a Charver,so it is not a recently introduced phrase.
And isn't NED an acronym for Non Educated Delinquent??

 

[ChesterRdBlue]

Chav is a gypsy word is far as I know.

The king of English cheeses and she's describing it as chav cheese, fucking hell.

Hahahahaha

Did she speak it with a cheshire accent?

I hope you educated her Dave.

My parents are middle class, live in Wilmslow but are in no way Snobs.
