What exactly is a "chav"? Is this the British slang word for emo kid?
"It's all folk music... I ain't never heard no horse sing!"

A chav is, in Britain, the same as what we call "idiots" in Canada. Hoods, gangstas, people who smoke, drink, break people's stuff, get in fights, have children at fifteen, die soon after. Pretty much the sort of people that the world would be better off without.

Watch all the Devvo vids. You'll get a pretty good idea of what exactly a chav is.

I know the type. I think this "chavs" word could be derived from the Spanish "Chavala" which translates to punk ass little bitch.

Ah, I see! In Australia, we call them "yobs", "derros", or, specifically in Western Sydney, "Westies" :D .

Cowards.


Exactly, exactly what they do to me. Exactly.

That's exactly what they do to me too! Me and acapella and a couple of our other friends are gonna make a comedy movie consisting entirely of funny things that chavs have said or done to us. It's gonna be called "the Juice-bowl Theory." (don't even ask)

Sorry, I just have to ask. :D What do you mean by the Juice-Bowl Theory? I'd be intrigued to know...

You'd probably need to see the picture to understand the theory. I'm sure earthman will explain it, I don't have the patience.

Ok, if you really want to know.....

Imagine life as a series of bowls. I'm not sure exactly how many, in this crudely-drawn diagram, there are three.

Eventually, the water forces the juice out, and it spills out into the next bowl: the working world. The same thing happens, as more water spills in from the school-bowl. The juice rises to the top, ever-closer to retirement. At some point, it spills over into the third bowl: retirement. I guess this could be represented (in a person's later years) as a retirement home. More water/idiots keep spilling in from the working world, and eventually the juice spills over onto the carpet, which is death.

Of course, juice doesn't really float on water, so it'd have to be some other fluid. I chose to use juice because of what it would actually do when water is poured on it. It would mix. If there are 10 good, non-chavs in a school, there is a pretty good chance at least one of those will be an idiot by the time their education is done. I guess the fluid would have to be something between juice and oil.

Also, the number of bowls varies depending on your life. Secondary education could add a bowl. I guess promotions and whatnot in work could be sub-bowls.

Genius! You've come up with a formula for life: your proximity to death is directly proportional to your dying age minus the number of idiots you've had to endure so far, or p=d-c. Of course, there's no way of definitively establishing what your dying age will be, but it at least proves that chavs are the inevitable indirect cause of death for all socially active human beings :D .
