The 'Chav' or 'Charva' meme stems from a British subculture stereotype that gained massive internet notoriety in the mid-2000s. Characterized by tracksuits, Burberry patterns, and heavy gold jewelry, the 'chav' persona became a vehicle for class-based humor and satire across the UK. On the internet, it evolved into iconic reaction images like 'U Wot M8,' often featuring aggressive but nonsensical dialogue. Today, the meme is used to poke fun at lad culture, specific regional accents, and the 'tough guy' persona, serving as a staple of British internet humor and cultural commentary.
