The real mystery about this is how the vehicle can move under the weight of the stereo system installed (badly) within. The chav can be found spending seemingly endless resources of money adding bodykits and neon striplights to his car (sometimes known as a 'chaviot'): this is normally a pre-1990 Ford Escort with 1100cc engine and XR3i stickers, a near-suicidal Vauxhall Nova (with plastic split-screen effect, or the occasional BMW coated in Hammerite. She is usually en route to a supermarket or other place where she can swear at or smack her children publicly (this is the only form of discipline, usually to an extreme, ever displayed by chavs or chavettes towards their children and so it is required by law that it takes place wherever others may be gathered). Instead, she is to be found holding up various bus passengers as she attempts to manoeuvre her outsized three-wheeled buggy onto a local bus service. Transportation The chavette is rarely seen driving a car. They tend to leave school before the age of sixteen, however, in order to pursue parenthood or a life of crime. Again, they tend to subsist in packs and can be seen braying and howling in the classroom, challenging even the most reasonable of requests to shut the hell up and let other people learn things. Chavs are, believe it or not, to be found in education. However, upon retaliation of their prey they tend to run away. This often gives them the impression that they are 'hard' and they will thus attempt to start fights with anyone/thing smaller than them.

They imbibe alcohol, normally in the form of cheap lager / cider normally obtained illegally. Health and Education Chavs can often be seen smoking - an activity which causes them to spit and cough, but only in public places (see above). Note their ornate 'love bites': tribal cicatrices around the neck, usually perpetrated by a near-toothless male known as Kev, Daz, Gaz, Baz, Tez or some other monosyllabic name. Chavettes, meanwhile, tend to have hair in at least two colours, ill-fitting tops and white tracksuit tops (usually Kappa). The origins of said 'bling' are various as the chav typically possesses neither a means of employment or indeed any type of education. It displays a distinctive livery with which it attempts to attract the female ('chavette') - most commonly, the Burberry-effect baseball cap (placed at a jaunty angle, sometimes partially covering the face - this is known in some cultures as 'snidey') the 'sports' clothing (this is somewhat confusing as the chav is not renowned for its athletic abilities) and countless items of 'bling' (Chav patois meaning jewellery or other adornments).


The male of the species, the 'chav', is often to be found lurking in braying packs close to fast food outlets or late night stores.
