    Just saw this on news website :

    Britain's latest buzzword, it seems, is chav.

    It is defined as the type of people who wear cheap gold jewellery, baseball caps and certain designer brands.Celebrities labelled as chavs include Jordan, Jodie Marsh and footballer Wayne Rooney.

    The description has become so commonplace it now has a reference in a book on English language.

    Chav has been named buzzword of the year by Susie Dent, one of the language experts on the TV show Countdown

    lol, not surprising

    and as for the game.... not a bad idea, but i think the score should be based on the chavishness of them with extra points for the lesser spotted chavette

    Eugenics is an extreme solution, but it would solve the problem of chavs.

    I'm assuming when you say Jordan - that's some British celeb I've never heard of, and you don't mean Michael Jordan

    Calling Jordan a celebrity is a bit of a strong word. Living inflatable woman who happens to be on TV a lot would be better.

    lets have an english to... "english" (you know what i mean) conversion here, a "chav" is a british "wigger"?

    Wig*ger (whig-guhr) n. white person who dresses like a black person. talks in ghetto slang (homie, dawg, ____ to tha izzo, etc.) generally shunned from any race (i personally disown any wigger on general principal)
