I think between you all you summed it up.
baladi can also mean 'local' and so can shaabi (public).
Both can have low class (I prefer to say working class) implications.
Middle classes would find it an insult to be called Beledi or live in a 'Shaabi' area.
Cheb means young man, cheba is young woman and is different from Shaabi.
