Beware! When next you put on a pair of trackies and a Nike hoodie top the Dark Lord of the Chav will possess you and at the end of every sentence you’ll end up saying the well known chav chant "innit". Innit!

I did this edit for a bit of fun, as I’m not eligible to enter this month’s Picnikers Contest because I was a runner-up last month. I think this shot would have been scary even without the effects. lol

This is a pic of me chavved up which I’ve applied some of the new Halloween effects to create "Darth Chav"! For those who aren’t familiar with the term chav, I have listed the Wikipedia definition below and you can see I am clearly no chav as I’m way too old for starters but I do occasionally wear some of the gear! lol

Chav (pronounced /?t?æv/ Charver or Scally (In northern England), CHAV) is a derogatory term applied to certain young people in the United Kingdom. The stereotypical "chav" is an aggressive teenager or young adult who often engages in anti-social behaviour, such as street drinking, drug abuse and rowdy behaviour. They are often assumed to be unemployed or in a low paid job, although it is incorrect to assume that all chavs are working class, as chavs belong to no distinct social class. The term Charver is more widely used in North East England. Stereotypical "chavs" typically wear tracksuits and hoodies made by sporting brands such as Nike and Adidas and listen to mainly MC and some have been known to listen to Rap and R’n’B

The other thing about JCO is that she claims never to have been an alcoholic or drug addict. And she’s written 70 books. I thought drug abuse and volume went hand in hand for authors.
