Jessika Frueh · Answer

'Chavs' in the UK, apparently it stands for Council House and Violent but many of these types of people are typically seen wearing hoodies & tracksuits with the hoods up all the time, using excessive amounts of slang with an incredibly rough form of the English accent and generally being douchebags or criminals leeching off the system because they'd rather waste their whole adulthood away on cigs and alcohol. The numbers seem to be decreasing but there's still large concentrations of them in small ghetto villages.

"Gypsies. Not to be racist.

I love gypsies and they are so very lively and fun, but they also kinda scare me, I don't want to mess with them. "
