Morphology

chavtastically + fun

The adjective is a creative blend from 'chav' + the intensifying suffixal pattern of '-tastically' (as in 'fantastically'), so the reading 'extremely fun in a chav-like/tacky way' can be partly inferred from the parts. However, it depends on knowledge of the British slang 'chav' and is a nonstandard coinage, so the meaning is not fully predictable for an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Chavtastically fun mixes chav and 'fantastically' and one popular story says it comes from British youth style known for bright clothes, tracksuits, big jewellery, and loud pop music. Imagine that loud, glittering party—this showy, high-energy picture is why the phrase means 'extremely enjoyable in a flashy, chav style'.
