    Nothing is funnier than seeing a scumbag with his tracksuit tucked into white socks. Makes me burst out laughing every time. :pac:

    And someone explain me why they always walk around with their hands tucked in them. Is it to make sure their little friend is still there after so much use? :confused:

    the elastic waistband allows for the quick and easy hiding of goods when in a shop while the elastic at the ankle will hold the bar/can of coke etc in the leg area.

    the newer tracksuits come without the ankle elastic hence the new trend of tucking into socks.

    the reason they tuck them into their socks is so when they're stealing from ships they put them down their pants and it wont fall out the bottom...truth..

    I wear addidas tracksuit pants most of the time. The freedom is great and just comfy to wear.

    A scumbag can wear anything and they are still scumbags. Infact most of them wear jeans now due to their price of 4€ in dunnes.

    Well tracksuits became popular in the 80's among urban musicians. It became a 'cool' cultural symbol and it stuck in working class areas to this very day. I'd imagine that's your best explanation.

    Do you ever notice how slow scumbags walk? If they are ahead of you, no matter how slow you walk, you always catch them up. Even if you start walking backways.

    However I realised a while back why they walk so slow. They need to save up their energy so they can run from the cops.

    Tracksuits are designed to be breathable and sweat absorbant for sports. Scumbags like them because you can wear them for a few weeks without smelling too bad.

    A very close mate of mine wears tracksuits exclusively. He cant stand jeans, or trousers. And a shirt doesn't go very well with a pair of adidas and nike airs. It wrecks his head (and mine too) the amount of people who just assume hes a waster because of his taste in fashion. THe funny thing is most of these people are completely shocked when they hear he is studying philosophy. Its almost as if, if someone wears a tracksuit then thats it, they have to be a waster. They cant be in the shop to buy something they're there to rob it, they cant be doing anything good with their life and without a shadow of a doubt they are scum. I swear to god the Irish attitude to tracksuits really annoys me.

    EDIT: I cant remember who said it, but +1 to the person who said tracksuits do not come cheap.

    Speaking of canes – are crutches part of scumbag fashion? It seems that 5% of the lads use them. Is it considered "street" to have one or is from hitting the wrong vein/punishment beating thing?

    Right or wrong, people will always judge a book by its cover, it's not just an Irish attitude.

    Funnily enough it does seem to more often than not be the "ladies" of their subculture in crutches. You're probably onto something with the punishment beating theory. Stella promotional night perhaps?

    I remember in college reading about some pyschologist in the 80's who coined the phrase "the sh*t-suit" for those people wearing a full tracksuit, as he believed it was the uniform of the social welfare sponging population.

    He also explained that these people would eventually become so lazy that they would revert to just wearing their bedclothes all day and night.

    Some foresight
