duh! posted in the wrong place.
Wot the fuck R U lot on about, Charva dervied from Kappa Slappers ?

Chavie is NOT RECENT, I was using it in primary school and that was thirty years ago. So to say that "You Chav ..." has any history this side of the millenium is stupid. You yung wipper snippers havent got a clue between you or an original insult (although the bear's smile made me laff).

Since I am considerably older than Yeou, here's the definitive derivation of Chavie (it should be noted that Word wants to spell check it a Cavies)

First Heard : 1977, Surrey England (We used to run the world before we let the American have a go)

Number of uses daily : fucking loads.

Last Recorded Public Use : THE famous moment outside of a polling station on the one occasion I got dragged there by my parents because Thatcher was showing up, "Thatcher you are a Fecking Chavie .. " yelled the small boy with viciously bruised legs (me)

Chavie is derived from Chavvie Yordie an insult heard by me in Surrey during the 1970’s. It should be remembered that Chavie was around before close monitoring of human trials with drugs was the norm. So shortly after Chavie new miracle drugs and treatments were released, so a whole new genre of birth defect related insults became the norm.

Spastics - They may change the brand, but it doesn’t change the meaning, (we just call em scopes now),

Mongols (Downs syndrome) as in you Mong to describe someone being unbelievable dense.

And the great creative spark Thalidomide. Instigator of many a hurtful childish insult and like all the greats, still in stong use today (or at least in my office you Bunch of Lowery’s) as in You Phlid or Lowry (Phlid = Thalidomide ) Lowry was famous for his painting of people with matchstick arms and matchstick legs.

Before this lot we had to make our own up. Christ I feel like such a lowlife after reading what we used to call people, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
