They're generally thought of as being lazy, uncultured working class people who claim benefits and who don't want to work. Such an attitude was arguably 'created' by Tony Blair's government in the early 2000s because of the increase in social security and welfare handouts. The TV character Devvo was a comedic take on the archetypal chav.

Lazy good for nothing oiks who have no intention of crawling out of bed to 'earn' a living because the Govt gives them easy benefit handouts. Make them do community work 2 or 3 days a week, like supervised litter picking, helping the council to keep parks clean and clear of litter, and gathering leaves during Autumn. Stop the free and easy money. Refusal to do community work, then receive only half the benefits.

To be fair you can be a chav and have a job or even be wealthy. Look at Katie Price. Also you can be poor and not a chav. Or you can be a deadbeat, unproductive loser and still not a chav. It's a social class that's not strictly related to income. I would characterise it as being "proudly ignorant."

Is it a portmanteau of 'too droll'?

To be a Chav is to belong to a certain subset of the UK working class. A sub-culture. The tendency to demonise chavs is a legacy of the old-school, rigid and hierarchical British class system. A hangover from the days when we used to talk about "good" and "bad" accents. Chavs are just people who grew up among chavs. Read Owen Jones "Chavs: The Demonisation of the Working Classes" for a fuller explanation. I would go into it more but someone accused me of being a windbag last week!

Chav was a word in use 55 years ago when I was a boy - and probably long before that.
Twerps like Owen Jones and some of the resident on here invent all sorts of meanings so wide of the mark it's like arriving in Hastings when aiming for Brighton

I absolutely hate to hear people call other people Chavs. Whatever its meaning is or wherever it derives from, it is now meant as an absolute insult. The people who use it as a term to describe others are abhorrent narrow minded judgemental individuals and they expose themselves to be far more vile than they think the people they are deriding are.
