EMA

Acronym for "Education Maintanence Allowence"
In the UK, this is an allowance of £30 given to college students who have a low household income.

EMA was invented to bribe chavs into coming to college, so EMA is very often all spent quickly on cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs.

Many people lie in order to claim EMA, for instance saying you live with someone with a low income, rather than where you truthfully live.

Chav 1: "I get EMA because my parents sit around on their arses claiming dole!"

Chav 2: "The only reason I'm in college is for the money!"

Chav 3: "I registered myself living with my Grandparents so I can get EMA!"

Chav 4: "My EMA get paid in tomorrow. Shall we all get stoned?"
