CHAV AND CHAVETTE: CANI Y CHONI

 This is Merriam-Webster's definition of chav:

a young person in Britain of a type stereotypically known for engaging in aggressively loutish behavior especially when in groups and for wearing flashy jewelry and athletic casual clothing (such as tracksuits and baseball caps)

Loutish (grosero)

flashy (llamativo, chirriante)

And this is The Urban Dictionary's definition (remember that the election of a word in any language also defines the speaker; so, if you consider that the noun is a classist term, you'd better stop using it). 

NOTICE THE CONTEMPT!!!

"The male of the species, the 'chav', is often to be found lurking in braying packs close to fast food outlets or late night stores. It displays a distinctive livery with which it attempts to attract the female ('chavette') - most commonly, the Burberry-effect baseball cap (placed at a jaunty angle, sometimes partially covering the face - this is known in some cultures as 'snidey'); the 'sports' clothing (this is somewhat confusing as the chav is not renowned for its athletic abilities) and countless items of 'bling' (Chav patois meaning jewellery or other adornments). The origins of said 'bling' are various as the chav typically possesses neither a means of employment or indeed any type of education. 

LURK .... ACECHAR

BRAY ... REBUZNAR O REÍR A CARCAJADAS

OUTLETS .... ESTABLECIMIENTOS

LIVERY .... ATUENDO

JAUNTY .... DESENFADADO, ALEGRE

SNIDEY  -- SARCÁSTICO/NOT GOOD

BLING --- JEWELLERY

PATOIS ---- FORMA DE HABLAR

Chavettes, (FEMALE FORM OF THE NOUN) meanwhile, tend to have hair in at least two colours, ill-fitting tops and white tracksuit tops (usually Kappa). Note their ornate 'love bites': tribal cicatrices around the neck, usually perpetrated by a near-toothless male known as Kev, Daz, Gaz, Baz, Tez or some other monosyllabic name."

ILL-FITTING -------  QUE QUEDAN MAL

LOVE BITES ------ CHUPETONES

 ....ETYMOLOGY 

It entered the Oxford English Dictionary as the first ever Word of the Year and was heavily promoted as such and that led to quite a lot of media coverage of the word and an increase in use in sort of the mainstream media, although it had been bubbling away on the internet and in people’s speech for a while. There are various sorts of false etymologies, false stories about where the word comes from. The most famous of these, and when I ask students “where does the word come from?” they always give me this one.  Is to say that it’s an acronym of ‘Council House and Violent’.

La palabra viene del romaní, lengua del pueblo gitano extendida en diferentes variantes en Europa. Significaba originalmente "chico", de ahí su parecido con la palabra española "chaval".
