Wrong wrong wrong.

It's a bastardisation of the Romany word chavi (meaning 'child' or 'boy') and is a couple of hundred years old.

Doubt he had time to make a call. Also the instant that phone comes out its gone.

My girl is going up to Edinburgh next week, I hope I don't have to worry about this kind of thing.

It doesnt "stand" for anything in the same way chav doesnt stand for anything. People like to take words like that and turn them into acronyms though.

I have heard a few things for chav etc, the reality is it is a contraction of another word.

I thought NED really was an acronym introduced by the government. :/

We used to call them 'Rude Boys' / 'Townies' in Essex before the Sun made 'Chav' popular.

I've had my fair share of run-ins. They really do need sorting out...

We always used townies too (Cambridge/Newmarket) but I always thought "Rude Boy" was a jamaican thing.

converse_uprise is right, ned = non-educated dilinquent it's been used on another fourm for years before chav became popular.

Do chavs even know they are chavs or are they oblivious to the fact that they are? :confused:

They don't know they're a bunch of ******* because they don't listen at school, just smoke pot or something whilst listening (kind of) to English lessons

Not such an issue in Edinburgh and the city centres in Glasgow/Edin are really well policed.

"Right" in the sense that it is a folk backronym? If enough people believe it, it seems to become fact.

Did you know the average person eats x number of spiders per annum in their sleep? ;)
 
unlucky mate :(

my mate got beaten unconcious a couple of months ago when we were on a night out, he managed to wonder off in a drunken state, until we saw the commotion (sp?) and they ran off
 
Unlucky. :(

My friend got attacked the other night by 2 neds in a car. They drove up behind him and hit him across the back of the legs with a pole, broke his shoulder and stole his phone and wallet. :(
Apparently 20 other attacks happened like that the same night, it's gettin ridiculous! :mad:
