    I'm not. Dictionaries these days are always adding buzz words like that to try to appear "cool" and "with it". It's like they're trying to say "WE'RE NOT A BOOK FOR NERDY TYPE PEOPLE, HONEST!" :rolleyes2

    I was angry (read: whining like a little girl) about this a while ago. Not because of Chav, because I can deal this that to a certain extent.

    "Chavtastic" on the other hand...
    Word/s.

    Open-Dictionary.com is not the official dictionary, people.

    And yes, the official one does put plenty of slang words in.

    Boner is in the dictionary. Mind out of the gutter, it means 'error'.

    noam chomsky: "be chill."

    Slang is actually a very serious and expansive linguistic topic. Because slang terms are such dynamic, social, and even political phenomena, they offer a great deal of research opportunity and insight about language and its interaction with culture. You chavs.
