It's a word that didn't exist when I was living in the UK.

Google says ... "Chav (/ˈtʃæv/ CHAV) is a pejorative epithet used in Britain to describe a particular stereotype. The word was popularised in the first decade of the 21st century by the British mass media to refer to an anti-social youth subculture in the United Kingdom".

In other words - street garbage and Government Housing trash that should be collected and taken to internment camps where they are put through a living-hell of re-education in how to behave like responsible adults and not as destructive savages on the streets of Britain.

My apologies -you did indeed say that. I'm having teething problems operating this new Windows 10 of mine, but once I know the drill I'll be all right.

Tooth decay depends on many factors including diet ... but none the less dental hygiene and more importantly genetics.

I have never seen a decent clean set of teeth on a chain smoker. Their breaths stink.

Their teeth are stained (like their fingers) shyte brown & many are rotten.

Smoking doesn't preserve your health, lungs or ferking teeth.

Herbert re: your teeth & smoking .. BS.

Genetics more likely.

My parents were working class people. Still are. They are on the verge of retirement and have worked their way up as high as working class people can go. My mother has been trained as a nurse, and has given good advice on health. But, one thing she could not avoid, for some reason, was her osteoporosis. Her teeth have never been the best in the family, and I don't think her side of the family was all that genetically strong.

My father came from a large family, and learned to tough it out competing and sharing with his siblings. He was a sporty type of person. He could have been selected for the Olympics in 1976, and helped Australia try to win a gold medal back then. But he did not seem all that booksmart. Dad was streetsmart, and Mum was booksmart. Together, they made a family of five. Myself, my brother and sister had inherited the cultural and genetics of being both moderately streetsmart, as well as book smart.

Fifteen years after heading out into the world on my own, I learned the hard way that genetics can only take you so far. Even the best of genetics would not be able to compete with a lack of appreciable oral hygiene and a considerably high sugar diet. Whilst I can blame Mum for the way my teeth have come through, as a result of genetics from her side, alternatively getting braces through my teenage years would only have offered temporary cosmetic help for straight teeth. Once these hypothetical braces come out, a poor diet and poor oral hygiene would alter my teeth somewhat to the point as they have come now.

I have a daughter who is studying law. She is a potential model. She is strict on her diet and exercise, and has an IQ around 160. Another daughter of mine plays sport (soccer and cricket), and is so beautiful inside and out, that she would have struggled socially and professionally with the diet I would have provided her, had I raised her.

I can't agree that it is to do with good genetics. In my example, I would have been so much better off had I looked after my teeth with better dieting, and a more considerable oral hygiene.

It's a disgraceful legacy of decades of Social-Marxist Theory being practiced in the classrooms of Britain.

Until schools return to the practices, curriculum, and disciplines of the '50's and before, this trend will continue, if not get worse.

Only naming-and-shaming the Educational Boards of Great Britain will see a reversal of this hideously remiss trend.
