Talking 'Chav' in the English Dictionary
It's official, the English Dictionary has added 'chav' as a proper word!
In addition, a 'chavette' is a female chav and my personal favourite, something suitable for a chav is described as 'chavtastic'

Now I'm on the campaign to get 'bogan' in!

I have to say one thing I do not miss from the UK is the burberry wearing chavs and chavettes that used to frequent the streets. Don't get me wrong you still get some sights out here but they are just not of the same quality - well certainly not in Sydney anyway.

bouncebackability was put in because of Soccer AM on Sky Sports (Sat AM) ... they got as many sportmen, presenters & narrators on TV & Radio to use the word in interviews and commentaries... LOL its great.......

"Colin & Edith" on Radio 1 are trying to get "Sucking Diesel" recognised as a new mode of "exclaiming your happiness"! LOL
