 :There is a wide range of alternative terms, or at least terms used in a similar way, including townie, scally, ned, kev, charver, smick, spide, moake, steek, bazza, scuffhead, stig, skanger, yarco, and kappa slapper (females only).  See World Wide Words: Chav and In the name of the Charver  (sections ""Results and Analysis"" and ""Word Etymologies"") for more.  Whether any or all of these are truly synonymous with ""chav"" may be debatable.  Are these worth including in the article?    20:23, 18 January 2010"
