I know she doesn't have the stereotypical chavette hairdo or wear bright white trainers, but she is a mum who never been married, became sexually active relatively young, drinks quite a bit, used drugs occasionally, dropped out of high school, and has a cockney accent... And I'm not trying to hate, I think Tatiana looks gorgeous as Sarah, second only to Beth.
shareIt only became apparent to me once I heard the word 'chav' mentioned/directed at Sarah that she may well be. (There is some displacement seeing weirdly accented British characters in a Canadian-light setting.) Though I wouldn't say she fits the stereotype perfectly, but it can be applied loosely to her & her lifestyle.
shareI always thought chav was just the UK's version of "wigger" (white gangsta).

Over here in the U.S. calling someone "ghetto" would be the equivalent of a chav,basically. Never liked the term "wigger" because it'salways sounded like a put-down of white folks who act black---that's how I always looked at it.
shareshe's like the polar opposite of a chav. You sound like you just learned a word and now you want to use it and confuse as many people as you can in the process.
these are your typical chavs:
