The Chavs

Definition

British slang specifically for Chelsea Football Club and their fans—a term born from football rivalries and British dismissiveness. It's less about the word itself and more about the particular football tribalism it represents.

Example Usage

We absolutely dismantled the Chavs at Stamford Bridge yesterday; best match of the season.
