It's hard to know where to start. I'll see if I can help.

A minger is basically the same as a munter or a swamp donkey. A proper ten-pinter, if you get my drift.

A chav is usually a minger, but they'd prefer to shag Wayne Rooney, so don't worry about it. In the north of england they're called charvers. Imagine an english version of a ned, like they have in Scotland and you're prety much there.

A pikey is just a no-mark. You know, like you get on Council estates. It's also related to being a gypsy, but the not the ones in caravans, the ones that burn mattresses.

Tarts all have a heart of gold. If they don't then they're just slags. Men can be slags too though, but only in the accussative For example "Don't screw me arround, You Slag!"

I hope that cleared it up for you.
