What is it with teenage Dublin boys with hands in their tracksuit bottoms

Slideshowbob

I notice this in Dublin alot.

Feeling their nuts in public without a care in the world

What's it all about?

Anyone know?

These lads never thought about civic decency?

If nothing else I'd think it's un hygienic for who / what ever they come in contact with next?!?

I blame micheal Jackson for the nuts bit.

The reason the power of marketing, but they are a practicable and comfortable especially if you are a young man bursting with energy.

I've noticed that too.

Hand in the jocks, cupping their ball sack as if it was a perfectly normal thing to do in public.

I can't offer an explanation for it I'm afraid, other than the offenders are probably a bit simple.

They have to make sure to be ready for when Jacinta wants to go somewhere 10 months later.

It is the lice infestations they picked up.

A friend of mine age 22 does it because his mate does it, it seems to make them cool, but when I asked my friend if all the Dads and Mams were to walk down the street playing with themselves would it be still cool , and he replied thats discusting taught, total skanks the lot of them, hand straight from the boxers into thier mouths, or straight from the boxers and wrap around there chicken sandwich roll that they just bought, now if a man in his 40s walked along the street with his hands down his boxers and openly feeling himself he would be called a peado or a queer, but not the youth of today they can do anything and there normal , god help us all

It's not just the Irish.

American teens do it too, but in their blue jeans :P

That's what being feral does to you . You have the constant urge to show your genitals to your mates to try and impress the pack. And since they can't expose themselves without being arrested they finger the pack and do the mental math .

Maybe they're scratching off the crusty after being with tracey or Stacey the night before.

Eh, they're already wearing tracksuits bottoms...? That's the male equivalent of wearing pyjamas in public (unless, you're actually doing something sporty).

As for the reason, boredom.

Oh yuck, it's a bit too early for mental images like that. :eek:

You can hardly compare a bloke wearing tracksuit bottoms to a girl wearing pyjamas in public?

I don't believe they are feeling themselves. I used to do it years ago when playing football in the cold, hands down the front of your tracksuit for a few minutes would really warm them up, there was no touching involved.

I'm guessing the trend started from there, I see it when visiting engerland all the time.

You WOULD say that, wouldn't ya??

The delusional little twats thinks it makes them look cool.

Passed this group of about six ten year olds a while ago, everyone of them swaggering along with their right hand stuck into their grey tracksuit bottoms clutching their undeveloped little genitalia.

Nearly crashed the car laughing.

Riesen_Meal

I don't get it at all either, see it all the time outside the local shop where I'm from, 6 lads, standing round, drinking coffee and spitting all day....

But all with their hands on their sutnack, wtf like?

Seems to be more prevalent these days then in my teenage hey day... (im 31)

The real question here is:

Why was the OP watching young men play with their balls while he walked down the street?

:pac:

Maybe it's a primal mating ritual.

I was wondering when that would come up I was admiring their 3 stripes :rolleyes:

You were looking at young lads cocks and you were wondering when "it would come up"!!!

You need to be arrested

Kanoe

this thread just reminded me that I bought a new pair of trackie bottoms yesterday which I hadn't put on yet so I just did, only to find there's no pockets. no ball scratching for me.

Sonics2k

Ah sure just shove your hands down the front and work away.

If anyone looks just give them a look of disgusted indignation and call em a pervert. That'll shut up em

stovelid

Ask one of them.

If you can do that without busting into tears.

Why not? The girls aren't going to bed, and the guys aren't off to training. Both are inappropriately dressed.

I did say when not engaged in sport. Or physical exercise, obviously.

Lol, saw what you did there.

I'm going to start using hand sanitizer every time I touch a pole/button/seat on dublin bus and the Luas now.

Paranoid thought of the day... If said "ball cupper" has HIV or AIDS and manages to get any of the fluid from that area while cupping and transfers it to a Dublin bus stop button and I come along a few moments later.. get off the bus to have a smoke and lick my finger.....

Well? Is this as stupid as asking can you get aids from a toilet seat?

Dangerous Man

They don't know any better. Their parents have effectively abandoned them. Their only goal in life is to make other people's lives miserable because that's what they've grown up with. It's all very pathetic.

tommyboy26

My brother inlaw is 16 and he says its so you look cool....... I also asked him why they tuck tracksuit bottoms in there socks and he informs me that the higher your socks are the "harder" you are..... Good god what happened to the youth of this country

I saw one sleeve muncher doing this at Beechwood luas stop back when there was a shop there. Looked about 17 or 18. Old enough to know better.

There was a CCTV pointed right at him and the shop owner didn't seem to thrilled with what he was doing.

He came out and went crazy. The young lad looked so confused. It was if he truely didn't know that there was something wrong with touching yourself in public.

Unfortunately at this point the Luas I was on drove off. Really wanted to see how that one unfolded.

its warm in there!
not in public though lads, come on

afraid they are going to misplace it!

Sadly, not just a Dublin problem. Apparently in body language terms guys that constantly seem to have the need to 'adjust' themselves want to draw attention to how big they think they are.
A few of my friends that are teaching said they have seen it happen in schools too, young fellas, at their desk, hands where they shouldn't be. Eeeww.
Bit of a judgement call between giving out to them or throwing up. Must be a normal way to behave in some people's homes, hard to understand how they can't distinguish between what is and isn't acceptable in public.:(

My name is URL

I blame the hippityhop and tendency of youngsters to buy clothes that don't fit them properly.

With their hands down their pants it makes it easier to punch them. These kids with their hands down their pants, tracksuit tucked into their socks and their hoods up are the same kids that complain about being "harrassed" by the garda. :rolleyes:

Think of the song which defined Dublin Youth Culture this summer.
The opening line is "Heading down the offo with me hands down me jocks"
