Trousers/jeans/trackies tucked into socks

Help!!!!

What is this craze with young fella's tucking their trousers/jeans/trackies into their socks?
Its not quite as bad as walking around with their a$$ hanging out but still doesn't look that great

Mr. CooL ICE

It's fine if the look is supplemented by a pimp cane and oversized bomber jacket.

It's this new "look like a total scumbag" craze. They're all doing it.

osarusan

It's the scumbag/knacker sign, surely?

black tracksuit, white socks, bayyyyy.

Help!!!!

They probably mislaid their bicycle clips

The white socks thing has been around as long as I can remember (since the 80's) though then they were worn with black slip ons.

Ruu

Craze? It's hardly new!

Here they are out for a folly in town.

Help!!!!

Is this craze all over Ireland or just in certain areas?

I was led to believe it aided shoplifting, drop something down your jocks, doesn't fall out.

Why complain about this? They clearly are well organised, diligent kids. Imagine if they didn't have their socks out over their clothes, they could easily caught on the chain when stealing someone's bike.

My current Facebook profile is a delightful picture of me with tracksuit bottoms tucked into my socks.

I think it's rather fetching.

Skangers

By shinobi at 13:22, Thu March 16 2006, in Social Forum (Dafties)

Dublin has a population of 1,500.000 and at least 30% are certified skangers with the numbers still growing. I have spent several years studying this fascinating species and can now confirm that there are two distinct groups of skanger in Dublin, the natural chavs and the wannabe chavs and my detailed study is outlined below.

Firstly, the Skangers in Dublin are genetically "superior" to both humans and other Irish "shams" in that they can reproduce at five times the rate of lesser beings. The average pregnancy lasts less than six months and through a rigorous diet of Lidl frozen food and smoking, a skanger is capable of producing a litter of up to 18 young during their 45-year lifetime.

Skanger offspring are capable of breeding from the age of 10 and as most females don't reach menopausal age, skangers are effectively baby machines from cradle to grave. The race is evolving at such a rate that some young are even born wearing jewellery and sporting Celtic shirts. It is law in Dublin for every skanger to have at least 6 tattoos and for females, this MUST include one on the small of the back which is usually their name spelled out in Chinese writing. This is handy in the unlikely event that said skangette gets lost in the back streets of Beijing, because at least the locals will know that the urchin in their midst is named Sharon, unless of course the tattoo really just says "scum".

Like domestic pigs, the skangette comes in both standard farmyard and pot-bellied forms and the male skanger bafflingly finds the latter more attractive and insists that his partner wears tight-fitting and revealing outfits which accentuate her "curves".

Similar to pandas with bamboo, the skangettes have a staple food source that they simply couldn't live without and this is a local delicacy referred to as "batter burgers". The great potato famine of 1985 all but wiped out the skangers. Dead and dying Sinn Fein supporters lay writhing in the streets like the final scene from "28 Days Later". This led to the launching of "Skanger Aid" which is now largely forgotten by the public as it ran at the same time as "Live Aid". It carried the slogan "Your donation will be enough to keep a family of 12 in cider and fags for a whole week". It was a huge success and the few survivors quickly bred the numbers back up to previous levels.

The second strain of skanger in Dublin is the young, middle class scally that although born a human being and from a well-to-do family, yearns to be accepted by the burgeoning scum that pour from some of the less salubrious parts of town. These half-breed skangs penetrate the leafy suburbs that normal scallies would only enter when lost on their way back from the chippy. They have jobs and money of their own and parents who provide them with their every skanger need. They bear all the characteristics of your type 1 skanger - clothing, jewellery, aggression, etc they just have more money and better teeth. The centre of their social world is a bar near the top of O’Connell Street which shall remain nameless. Inside is a confusing mass of horizontal stripes from the obligatory Celtic shirts and tracksuits.

I feel that an active program of sterilisation would give us a winning advantage and this could be achieved by a blanket covering of microwave radiation over known skanger hotspots or the simple spiking of the citys chip supply. Together we can win this war, so people of Dublin unite and rid
the streets of this stripy menace.

As already said, it's hardly a craze, been a staple ensemble for the boyo's for as long as I can remember.

Along with Nike Air, greasy fringes, hoods up, knacker taches, soverign rings and boxing glove necklaces bought from Argos, sticking their manky fingers in their mouths to whistle, eating nothing but chips and battered sausages, drinking Tuborg, reading the Daily Star, smoking Jonny blue (or Amber Leaf now with the high cost of pre-rolled cigarettes), having one Michael Guiney's suit (perhaps "slightly irregular") for the court appearances...

Nowt new.

Re that PIC. Good god. Muppets.
What's going on with the two people on the left.are they fighting

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I worked in Dublin 1 a while ago, had never seen this business of people going outside in their Jammies. Until this one day, in work, this woman walks in in her Jammies and a pair of ugg boots.

I worked with this girl from coolock, and was like "did you see the lady that wasn't even dressed?!" And she was like "yer ih wuz me maa". Mortified for myself

It's Limerick.

Saves the ends on the good trackies from getting frayed, how ghastly the 3 stripes would be if they got dragged along the ground, very common that would be.
think this was a new craze maybe eight nine years ago

Super-Rush

I hate the word trackies.

White socks with grey trackies tucked in, blue runners and a bright blue jacket. Usual warning signs to put your phone away before disembarking a tram on the red luas line.

Dont forget about the other norm now for a lot of scumbag lads which is, hands down the pants fiddlin' with their twigs and berries...no shame

It's safety more than fashion.

It stops rats running up the leg of your trousers and biting your mickey.

I do it when I'm cycling my bike. Now!

By what they wear? Wouldn't it be easier to spot while there sticking needles in their arms.

How are people suppose to dress to become part of the snob club? I like wearing a nice tracksuit for casual wear because it's nice & comfy & as far as I'm a ware I've never robbed anybody while wearing it.

I don't imagine these 2 boyos are off to volunteer their services at Oxfam.

How could this not catch on? It's so practical! Wouldn't I have looked like more of a pleb wth soggy bottoms :pac:

I'm going to get different coloured socks and try and make this fashionable. So I am.

Talib Fiasco

Ah here bah it's to keep the rats out like. The rats can't be ratting on ya when ye're in full kit. Yur some raaaat bah

It's to stop the drugs you stash in the bottom of your trackies from falling out, or alternatively (by pulling up your trackies) quickly dumping them of you're going to get searched, which is I believe is the NY origin of the trend.
This along with its LA counterpart, look my arse is hanging out of my jeans which are half way down my thighs (hey look, I'm not carrying a gun man!) to the gross, my had is jammed down the front of my trackies gripping my junk (I am carrying, and I've a hand on my 'weapon') and the classic female version, I live a life of leisure at your expense, so much so that I don't even get dressed to go to the shops, I just head down in my PJs because, 'screw you', are all a product of gang and drugs culture.

I feel perfectly entitled to judge people on the way they dress if the message they are intent on sending is that they want to represent themselves as a lowlife, this I feel perfectly entitled to view them as such.

No, it's definitely to stop rats running up your trousers.

I know because I used to have trousers.

evo2000

I do have to say im partial to the style of "Wearing my Pjs" everywhere instead of the trackies.

Did you also wear socks over leggings as a kid, leggings came back, still waiting on the socks and leggings combo to make a revival

I don't know why more women don't go for the Payne Stewart (RIP) look. Maybe with heels or something instead of the golf shoes. They'd look all stylish and classy. I'm the new Gak One.

I wish seeing guys walking around with their tracksuits tucked in, doing the skanger walk, didn't make me stiffen up and put on my crazy eyes so they don't mess with me - but it does. Especially when they fire a gobby phlegmy spit right in front of my feet.

I've heard said that it represents sexual availability in American male-only prisons.

As for the tucked-in tracksuit bottoms, 'shit-catchers' is the best term for them I've heard yet.

suicide_circus

I also object to the public masturbation engaged in by young tracksuited males. Often seen with one or even both hands down the front of their pants visibility manipulating their genitalia as they walk down the street.

Rasheed

It's only acceptable to put your jeans/ tracksuit in your socks if you're putting on wellies
