knackers in pyjamas

Ah it goes on here in crumlin, but it doesn't effet me, i've been known to go into the garden in my vest and shorts on occasion (as far as the car anyway)

OK I'll admit too that I once went to the shop down the road in my pj's. I was only a kid at the time, but I was a good few years ahead of the fashion industry. Oh yeah!!! How stylish am I?

Just think of them as the volunteers that test out new forms of fashion.

Tracksuits? No.
Pyjamas? No.

One day, they might get it right. One day.

Tracksuit/pyjamas?...*vomits*

I Hate those scummy pink pyjama tracksuit bottoms and loads of non-knackers wear them, absolute scuzzbag.

I live up around Parnell St. and see this the whole time.

I think it's gross tbh. I mean, what are they wearing under those pyjamas? And did they just roll out of bed and walk straight out the front door? Or did they stop to have a wash first.. maybe brush their teeth?

A big jacket, a pair of boots.. would it be too much hassle to put some more clothes on?

ick.

Brilliant thread title!!!

I study on Thomas St, and have to walk through Chuch St. to get there, from that area (Sometimes from just before Capel St.) the Pj Parade are out...Some of them have the worst f*cking pajamas too. Purple silk bottoms with red cotton tops with teddy bears... What are they thinking...like?

So is knacker just a more general derogatory term now? When did that happen?

At the moment it's only an offensive term to those who haven't come in contact with them.

monkeyfudge · 02-05-2006 01:34AM

I live in Coolock.. I still think it's an offensive term right up there with ni gger

Anyway.. the prefered term for this particular social grouping is 'Pyjama People'... and it's been going on for at least half a decade.

fade2black · 02-05-2006 01:40AM

Maybe make that negative contact then.

tintinr35 · 02-05-2006 01:42AM

" The Knackers in Pyjamas are coming down the street,
The Knackers in Pyjamas will hit you in the teeth,
They'll steal your phone
Then leave you alone
In the middle of Athlone. "

Well living barely 2 mins from Thomas St. i see this every day, have done for a long time, it's not a new thing btw it's been going on well over 10 years Seeing as the area is a s*ithole it's quite normal to see people doing this sort of thing. Normally the girls do it, while smoking a johnny blue and going to the shops for whatever.

So when are we planning to come in contact with you?

I recall about 15 years or so ago, one of my first jobs the manager (a girl) wore an Aran sweater, Doc Martins and long johns as pants (which as you know have a flap in front).

FranknFurter · 02-05-2006 06:14AM

See it almost every time I go to the local super-valu in this place.
Once asked a woman behind the till what is it all about, her response was "its always young girls isnt it, I think when they have babies its just for comfort"

:eek:

(it is a bit weird, if it IS a "fashion" thing that ya never once see guys doing it do ya)

I was on campus for a few weeks in an american college in january, and most people wandered around in thier PJ's. In the canteen all youd see was chicks in pj's everywhere you looked. Not that i was complaining.

Rogueish · 02-05-2006 09:01AM

American students are a little wierd.

I worked in the athletic department in a college in the U.S. for a while. I was working with a female soccer team and while they would never shower after a match (communal shower rooms etc) they had no problem changing in the hall of the sports complex even though there were changing rooms available.

Or at an away match in the middle of the Bronx NY they got changed on the sideline after the match (again no showers). Turning their backs to the crowd. Just cos they had their backs to the supporters they couldn't be seen??!!!!

When I was there it was really baggy sweatpants, an overside hoodie and the requisite flip flops were the campus fashion. I suppose the Pj's were only the next step.

I only noticed this last summer; initially I wondered whether "yer wan" was a patient from somewhere. As fashions go, i dont know which is worse - this or the open-belly-ripples-of-fat-look :eek: :eek:

Send them to Saudi for a holiday - that'll sort them

dalk · 02-05-2006 12:28PM

Was in DIT in '92 and had a class on Sean MacDermott Street, and i used to see the locals going to the local shop in their pj's... so it's not a new phenomenon. I have only ever seen women/girls though...

Have seen the same in Rialto, Drimmnagh, Thomas Street, Inchicore...

Name of college and a list of fixtures for ladies soccer team please.:D

The lower your social standing the less likely you are going to conform with social niceities. When you are young or suddenly free(college) you might not care or understand the social norms.
Any adult walking around ireland in the PJs cares little for their own apperenace or their social standing. It is a sign of poor manners and poverty but the people who do it will not accept that and say only snobs think that.:rolleyes:

keithclancy · 02-05-2006 01:26PM

Sure let them off, they can look like feckin idiots if they want to

ntlbell · 02-05-2006 01:27PM

I've seen this in many parts of Dublin

Foxrock,knocklyon,firhouse,Dalkey....

Are they still knackers?

Or is it ok if they're designer PJ's? :rolleyes:

All in favour of redesignating knackers as bananas?
Bananas will henceforth be known as those long yellow things you peel before you eat and if you leave them for too long they go black.
So as to avoid confusion.

Bananas really should be rebranded as 'yellow fatty beans'.

I don't know what people are complaining about - what's wrong with lovely girls in their pajamas on the street - it's better than boring jeans/jumpers like the rest of you girls that we don't take any notice of (you want to be anonymous or something?). Don't you realise the reason these girls do this is because they probably like the attention? And they definitely do get attention from men and women from the replies here it appears - why wouldn't they love it? Regarding the attractiveness of the look, just because you think it is not sexy does not make it so, I happen to have a (fetish/perversion or is it normal?) for young, curvy (you would say fat) girls and if they are wearing light pajamas then all the better to show off the curves! Obviously the skinny crack head look does nothing in pajamas or not! It's the same as you women linking looking at men in their shorts/tracksuits so you can look at our arses isn't it?
