We have antonyms like love and hate, similarity
and difference, but there are no (similar i.e.
unambiguous) antonyms for sun, dog, sister, and so on.

Consider that a chav is the modern version of Britain's mid-millenium large jewellery wearing,
not-necessarily-criminals-but-criminal-shoulder-rubbing half sea-piratey-but-too poor-to-afford-a-ship type underclass.

Surely you're entirely kidding. None of your pairs are even remotely opposites.
