A Geordie (Newcastle, England) slang term for a female charva — the local equivalent of a chav. A charvette is typically described as a young woman who embodies working-class stereotypes: tracksuits, heavy jewellery, loud behaviour, and a confrontational attitude. Like 'chav' and 'charva,' the term is used pejoratively and reflects broader class-based social anxieties in British culture. Its use is geographically concentrated in the North East of England.
The girls at the bus stop, all hoops and attitude, were exactly what Donna's mam called proper charvettes.
