    I'm sick and tired of people on Boards.ie saying all skangers drink Dutch Gold / Have Sun Newspaper tucked into back pocket, etc Here are some other categories of skanger you have probably came across in Dublin...

    - A Heavy. A skanger who has criminal connections all over Dublin. Smells like the duty free section at Dublin Airport. Whole house is built with solid compressed bricks of coke. Prone to paranoia. Has a collection of 100 SIM cards to 'spread the risk' of getting caught dealing. Avoids Bubba by getting low level henchmen to deal for him. Favorite phrase is "that's definitely unmarked".

    - A thug. Watches fights on Youtube in his spare time. Talks endless about fighting to his mates. "Boxed the chops off him / Break your face" are their favorite phrases. Not afraid to gawk out the window of a Dublin Bus, eyeballing anyone who looks at them sideways. Keeps all his replica swords upstairs because keeping them downstairs would be just stupid.

    - A drug fiend. Can be seen walking very fast through Dublin City Center in Hawaiian Shorts. Wears lots of prayer beads / bright wrist bands. Still have their hospital wristband from that time they mixed Valium with E. *Always* has papers / skins. Hides wraps of speed under the tops of bins using Chewing Gum etc

    - Cartoon skanger. A skanger who actively goes out of his way to live up to all the stereotypes. Does everything the right way. An all rounder type of skanger. When people say they're "mad" - They don't mean mentally unstable. These skangers are "Model skangers". Other fellow skangers can never match their outrageous behavior / appearance.

    - Rough Accent. Generally anyone with a *very* common accent is considered a skanger. Can wear a black-tie suit every-day for the year, and still be considered a skanger. Speaks in a 'clipped' manner. Uses robbed phrases. Can get a point across, but not very articulate.

    - Oldskooler. An older skanger. Knows all the rebel songs (IRA Songs) off by heart. Was there when they built The Liberties. Probably built The Liberties himself with his own hands. Has a four-leaf clover tattooed onto his neck. "My mother used to sell fruit" is his favorite phrase. Rampant Xenophobe. Still owns a Nokia 3200.

    - Casual Clothes skanger. Also known as the Daddy's Money skanger. Buys all his clothes in Unique. Just educated enough to come across as civil, but underneath this, he is a raging scumbag. Probably the worst type of skanger. Pulls a nice bird for a week or so, then gets dumped because his scumbag ways were found out.

    And I could go on. Feel free to add more to this :)

    And let me know what you think of this mini essay. Thanks
