    No one cares if you are in the gutter. On the other side of the spectrum if people thought you were well off you'd be more likely to get broken in to.

    Have to admit. Girlfriend got me a pair recently and they are just very comfy and easy to slip on quickly. Bit scummy depending on what shoes you’re wearing but feck it - comfort first.

    Just keep an eye on that, grey tracksuit now, it could be Canada goose next, before long she'll be calling you Clayton.

    I can only imagine the characteristic high pitched skanger whine from the grey clad individual when threatened.

    As do most Dubs in general. It's no worse than the culchies saying "ye".

    In their defense, and as a contrarian who often takes the wrong view of things it seems, my husband turned up wearing a pair which one of the sons had left behind, intending (the husband, that is) that they would be just the thing for morning -attire-about-the-house, and his arse looked strikingly sexy in them, I have to say.

    whats the more correct less culchie sounding word to use for a group ........ I want to be somewhat more sophisticated in how I address groups of people in future

    please do not tell me I have to restructure sentences though...thats too much effort, I just want something that will slot in for ye and not be yous that will do the job and differentiate me from my redneck culchie brethren as a discerning man of class and style so people wont imagine its possible they would get a faint whiff of cow****e if they stood too close to me after this pandemic.

    **Not suggesting your marriage was in any need of a poke

    It isn't, thank goodness, we get along very well, but a change of view is never unwelcome, for anyone I think, and stretched grey polyester over buttocks did the trick.

    True but saying “yizzers” has to stop.

    The tide is turning…

    Ye is proper English ill have you know. :)

    Ye (/jiː/) is a second-person, plural, personal pronoun (nominative), spelled in Old English as "ge". In Middle English and early Early Modern English, it was used as a both informal second-person plural and formal honorific, to address a group of equals or superiors or a single superior.

    Ye is an actual word in English...ye. (dialect) a word meaning “you,” used when talking to more than one person Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

    Yous is skanger talk.

    Not that I'd call myself or anyone else a "culchie" but ye is a correct but somewhat archaic second person pronoun, singular or plural. It's to be found in the Bible, the works of Shakespeare, Christmas carols etc. It's also used in Scotland and parts of the North or England along with thee and thou.

    Btw, I have no problem with yous either, in fact often used it when I was a child. Modern English seriously lacks a distinct second person plural pronoun, 'you' often requires further precision, hence "you all".

    If everyone could just do us all a favour and not wear them outside please. For me it's the equivalent of women going around in their pyjamas. I mean make just a few seconds effort and put some grown up clothes on, Jesus.

    It started in England with the whole chav ****e. Our own layabouts then followed suit as they weren't bright enough to come up with their own ****ing ideas.

    No, ye should never have been dropped from standard English because nothing took its place, you as a singular and plural pronoun just doesn't cut the mustard, hence all the variants in everyday English.

    Nothing wrong with them wouldn't normally wear those type of sweatpants but they are a source of comfort and they handy for exercising or being at home around the house and something quick to put on if going to the shops. They can be cheap or expensive depending where they are bought.
