Are you a Chav?

 

A new book out Tuesday is set to identify some of the latest buzz words entering the English language. Susie Dent, author of "Larpers and shroomers: the language report" states that a new word enters the language every year.

According to the book "Chav" is the latest buzz word, given to teenage delinquents who like to dress in designer clothes with prominent logos, wear a lot of gold jewelry with a Burberry baseball cap and white sneakers.

Back in 1965 the hot new word was "miniskirt,” in 1958 it was, "beatnik." Another contender this year is “Retrosexuals” – men who spend as little time, effort and money as possible on their appearance.
