Sort of roving street gangs of kids on benefits that go violent simply because they can? I may be working off of some sort of old definition here ... @ Michael – if I’m not mistaken, isn’t it a sort of ackronym (possibly even a backronym) for Council Housed and Violent?

It's not (although frequently is used as) a derogative term for the "Working Class" or poor, but for people who willingly live on benefits from the state rather than work. The reason it gets used so much is that some of the tabloids newspapers here glamorised "Chav culture" (The Sun - "Proud to be Chav"), and I guess it lost it's meaning to most people along the way. Which is not to say that it isn't a really horrible word, but the comic made me wonder. ... Huh, that's a lot of quote marks, hope I used them correctly.
