Contrary to OED's Susan Dent's comment on the word 'chav': As a teenager in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in the late 1940's and early 1950's, my grandfather regularly addressed me as 'chav' or 'chavy', probably in a derogatory way. I would imagine he had probably been addressed the same way as a teenager in the 1890's.
