[QUOTE=Sid and Coke]The term 'Chav' is a fairly new one to me, in fact i seem to recall from my youth that Chav was a word for friend in some form of Gypsy/Tinker language. I like the Scottish word for the same type of person namely a NED, even the first minister uses the phrase in the Scottish Parliament. [I]ned: noun. Derogatory Scottish slang: a hooligan, thug or petty criminal. [Etymology: acronym used in probation officers' official reports for "non-educated delinquent".] - Oxford English Dictionary. [/I] I hate NED's.[/QUOTE] You might have seen this before.... [URL]http://www.glesga.ndo.co.uk/[/URL]
