They're the only people I hear using Brah instead of Bro, Brother or Bruv

Weird, the only place I've ever heard it is on "the internet", or on American TV shows.

Brian8bit · 10 Feb 2011 at 10:36

I use it sarcastically. However I do use "Dude" too much.

No.

Again, this is not purely a chav thing, it's also a regional thing

Yes, I quite agree with this. Where I live, they usually say thing's like ' alright cuz hows it goin?' or 'hows it going chav?' yes they actually say chav.
a lot of people may think this is ***** talk but it's not. It's just the way they have always spoke to each other over the years. I speak to lorry drivers every day and a lot of them talk like this. I don't have a problem with it at all really. Some others may find it annoying I suppose. Oh well, you can't please everyone

A poorly educated, vulgar youth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav

An example that is quite amusing:

Picture this a young lad about 12 years of age and 4 ½ feet high baseball cap at ninety degrees in a imitation addidas tracksuit, with trouser legs tucked into his socks (of course, is definitely the height of fashion). This lad is strutting around, fag in one hand jewellery al over the over, outside McDonalds acting as if he is 8 foot tall and built like a rugby player, when some poor unsuspecting adult (about 17/18) walks round the corner wanting to go to mcdonalds for his dinner glances at the young lad, the young lad jumps up in complete disgust and says “Whats your problem? Wanna make sommin of it? Bling Bling” when the adult starts to walk towards the young lad, the young lad ****es himself and runs off to either his pregnant 14-year-old girlfriend or his brother in the army crying his eyes out.

Yeah I use "dude". I think it's far more bohemian and acceptable than "bruv" to me though.

G|mp · 10 Feb 2011 at 10:50

"Wha gwarn blad"

It is only acceptable to use the term whilst quoting Danny Dyer's 'Nice one, bruvvvvaaaaa!'.

Then that would be bruva, not bruv.
