Andrew Sullivan relates that he introduced Chris Hitchens to the term “chav”, which I first came across last September in a great NYTimes article about chav culture.
The article focused on a lottery winner who, post-millions, continued to get arrested for shooting the rear-view mirrors out of cars with his wrist rocket.
Anyway, Sullivan’s post also includes a link to ChavScum, our newest favorite site. Enjoy the Agony Aunt. I, for one, would love to be a fly on the wall for the conversation in which Sullivan explains the chav concept to Hitchens.
