Oh that's a short question to a long definition.

Kinda bling bling but with splashes of burberry.

e.g.:

you'll be happy to know the term encompasses a fair few lesser terms e.g.

"I've heard of fakes, but have never seen a FCUKING chav, or a Von
Chav Tshirt? Anyway, this morning's FT looks at how Chav Culture has
affected Burberry's PR, and how Burberry has even changed its product lines
following the negative image portrayed by the UK's Chavs wearing burberry
gear. AKA "Neds, Townies, Kevs, Charvers, Steeks, Spides, Bazzas,
Yarcos, Ratboys, Kappa Slappas, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Stigs,
Scallies or hood Rats.""

I especially like "hood Rats".
