in a awkward situation with a bird advice needed.

A "chav" is like a wannabe ganster, right? We've got plenty of those at my school too. And feminists, don't even get me started on the feminists....

Well, I'm not sure about the dictionary definition, but for me Chavs usually constitute fairly young people 15-30, who tend to be poorly educated and from the wrong side of the tracks, and tend to have big mouths and very little morals, and are a breed who are developing like a warren of rabbit at the moment.

Hobbies tend to include vandalising bus stops, not getting up whilst on the bus for old people and pregnant women, and generally abusing and laughing at others.

Sounds like they need a bit of a beating to set them straight... sometimes I wish violence was socially acceptable. So would a "hoodie" be a chav then? I find them to be a strange social trend... everyone here wears hoodies, so I guess I better be careful what I'm wearing if/when I head to the UK.

I always think that hoodies tend to be a little more indie/alt/grunge types, whilst chavs are the mainstream equivalent I guess, with a large focus on having the right clothing and accessories.

The differences in social groups between countries is interesting (to me anyways). Excuse my embarrasing ignorance, but if I was to come to the U.K. (which I'm thinking about doing) and I were to wear my hooded sweatshirt, would I be looked at as one of them? I don't want to get myself into any S*** because of my lack of social knowledge. What a stupid question, I'm ashamed to even post this...

Lol...nw, it depends on the type of hoodies and your attitude whilst wearing it. Obviously, to fall into the hoodie category, you always wear the hood up. Also, when alone act all meek like a kitten, but once you're in a group (i believe it's known as a buffet of hoodies) of a number then you have to be loud, obnoxious and not care about anyone else. but if you wear it with jeans and don't have a bad attitude, you ought to be fine.
