That must have been added afterwards. I first heard the word when I went to oakmeeds in the early 90's. It's what people who were then known as 'pikeys' used to call each other eg. "alright chavvy boy" or "run chav, it's the gavvers"Common as Mook said:I always thought it was a Police term. Stood for Council House And Violent.
The first time I heard it used as a derogatory term was at Haywards Heath college when some HH wanker used it to describe people from Burgess Hill. A couple of years later that chavscum website appeared, the papers cottoned on and hey presto, you've got everyones favourite new word.
