As, in sovereign rings. "That's ma sovvies, likes."

chav

I prefer "chavvy".

Also, "divvy" is a nice vintage one. Often heard on the UK soap "Brookside" which was set in chavvy Liverpool.

Oh, Sherman tank = wank.

i like "fuck all"

as in, this post is worth fuck all

Look mate, you're getting on my wick.

There is a little confusion here.

Chav is specifically a Burbary wearing youth, tracksuits sovs etc..
Charver is any youth, like a younger version of Gadgie. I think
charver is only used in Carlisle & Newcastle.

The place I was living in this summer was full of these pricks. I really don't like them - they just buzz about flying into things.

My favorite too.

According to urbandictionary.com
The minge is not the actual vagina, but the hair surrounding the area. On the labia majora and the pubic mound. Loose, shaggy hair that is not neatly trimmed, and may be a little fragranced with 'girl perfume'.

"My minge is so sweaty, and tufts of hair are coming out the side of my pants. Perhaps I should get a Brazillian"

I met Lady Sovereign briefly once, and she dressed like one, she sounded like one, but she was clearly approximately 300 times too smart to be a real live chav.

She's also about that high (holds right hand flat improbably small distance off the ground).

Charva in Newcastle means a young ruffian, who would most likely come up to you and go "do us a tab, mista". It is not just any young person.

Although, this could be seen as a political issue of young yob culture.

I believe the word is derived from greek, and chav is just a bastardised version of charva.
