Interesting this business of Humpty Dumpty.

He wishes to free himself from the tyranny of words and makes hiimself their master.

Chav is slightly different as it does not tyrranize the person who uses it, but the person it is used against.

So the Alice in wonderland quote provided isn't quite relevant.

Describing people as Chavs places the word above the person.


I'm with humpty - people do occupy a higher status than words.

And Chav, being a word that belittles people, is one I treat with contempt.
