"council housed and violent" innit?

I believe it comes from an old Roman word meaning 'young boy', although I could be wrong.
When I was a kid in Berwick, the word 'chavvy' was used instead of 'lad'.

From Oxford dictionary:
1990s: probably from Romany chavo 'boy, youth' or chavvy 'baby, child': sometimes said to have originated in Chatham, Kent, and to be a shortening of that name

Wikipedia, that great font of accurancy, says:
The term has its origins in the Romani word chavi, meaning "child".

Never worn socks with sandals, with the exception of medical necessity.
Never worn track suits.
Only ever worn a baseball cap in the proper direction.
I think that's about it.
