How does one define a scumbag?

Sykk

So.. There are plenty of ways people can judge another to mark them in that category..

Tracksuits for one! I myself can get away with wearing one, coming or going to the gym, or when I'm just out generally.. Probably because I don't have the "Staaaaaaaaaary budh" accent or strut about me..

Spitting.. When I see someone spitting I get an instant dislike to them..

Drinking cans on the road... It's something I've often done if on a way to a house party or something but when I see someone doing it.. I can't shake the feeling that they're just going nowhere in life! :P

So, how would you stick someone in that category?

According to how much tracksuit leg is tucked into them gleaming white socks.

YES!!!!!

A SCUMBAG THREAD!!

Someone who believes themselves better than others and as such makes other peoples lives a misery. So I class someone who gets ****faced and hurls abuse at passersby the same as Bertie Ahern, for example.

jd007

Trousers tucked into socks. I cringe every time I see it.

bonerm

If they're 35 and already a grandparent I tend to consider it an indicator.

If they make a nasal sound when they speak, generally look unwashed or say "what the f*ck are ye lookin' at" even though you weren't looking at them. Usually Dunnes Stores tracksuit bottoms, Liverpool FC replica shirt and €200 runners is the main give away...

baldbear

A full tracksuit with socks tucked into the bottom of there bottoms and with a cap on and white runners.
Big chunky chains hanging outside there clothes.
Women with very young kids with there ears pierced and who bring them to pubs and get drunk with there kids running around.

They rob stuff for the sake of robbing. They don't realise what they stole until they're down the road..............then they try and sell it back to you.

If there's no coke, snort crushed Panadol.

Ladette women pushing those quadruple prams down the street, Lidl bags hanging off the side, wearing their bright coloured pyjamas, hoop earrings and the voice like a slapped donkey spinning in a barrel full of rusty, watery poo. Their style ain't the problem but their rough as sandpaper violent attitude to everyone.

Walking around town with a serious face and starting on anyone who looks weaker than you. The also don't use their bare fists, pipes and knuckle dusters are their weapons of choice.

Carrying a blade - Definitely the most scumbaggery thing.

Getting a 14 year old pregnant, doing a legger and then getting a 15 year old pregnant.

More stealing

Hitting women

Stealing cars just to have a joyride and then burn them out.

Did I mention stealing?

A Scumbag is somebody who is a selfish **** and has no idea of how to live in a community.
There is the classic tracksuited scumbag.

However there are plenty of "well to do" scumbags, Look at all the bankers, the gob****es who allowed other gob****es to borrow money they would never pay off. Councillors taking backhands, charlie haughey, IRA , Bertie, the current Government, The Opposition.

Actually this country is a toilet thats really needs a flush.

To me clothes doesn't make a scumbag, be it tracksuits, pyjamas, hoopy earrings etc, to me that doesn't equal being a scumbag at all. I think it may equal coming from a disadvantaged area but, to me anyway, being poor doesn't make you a scumbag.

To me a scumbag is:
Someone who uses violence against people.
Someone who abuses animals.
Someone who steals.
Someone who enjoys hurting or terrorising the elderly.

Those are my definitions of a scumbag.

I try not to judge people based on their clothes because I've had an inner city tracksuit wearing "scumbag" come to my rescue when I was being mugged, on another occasion I lost my purse and again it was a tracksuit wearer who gave me the money to get the bus home.

On the flip side all the suitwearing politicans in the Dail would be closer to my definition of scumbag than any other group.

Well I would stick you in that category
Wearing tracksuits, not liking someone purely over something trivial because they spit, drinking cans of alcohol on the street, and because you live in Meath doesnt justiy it anymore then Dublin

Look in the mirror your a scumbag yourself.........bud!

carrigrock

FatherLen

i know people will disagree but yeah the style is usually a good pointer.

ScumLord

It's the bag that the citizen puts scum into so he can transport them to lock up.

Pherekydes

People who don't know the difference between 'there' and 'their'.

SugarHigh

Someone who is bad at math.

Scumbag found in their natural habitat

Although anyone on that show will do the job

Burning Eclipse

Different definitions for different people.

I used to live in an area of Limerick where the Garda 'Emergency Response Unit' were considered scum (as maxxie mentioned).

According to my cousin in NY, if you're Liberal you're scum (and also ruining America).

I think people who steal and vandalise other peoples property are scum personally. All just opinions really.

- Pregnant, pushing a buggy with a toddler in it & smoking a fag.
- Wearing a baseball cap at a 45 degree angle on their head.
- Soverign rings, on each finger.


There's plenty more but I just can't think of them right now.

The excitement of reaching my 2000th post is overwhelming
