truecrippler

I have to give a speech next Wednesday and I found it hard to come up with something to talk about. So I heard some skangers talking outside while having a smoke. I found what they were saying "funny".

Ahem, anyways. Tell me every single bloomin' thing you know about skangers.
Where they come from.
What they wear.
Types of Skangers. (Was told something about Tallaght Skangers, no disrespect to Tallaghtfornian's).
How they speak.
Where they hang out.
What they drink... Dutch Gold, Devil's Bit, eugh yeh the likes of those.
Past times.
Even their feckin history.
I'll give credit to boards.ie to for part of my research. (might get a few new cool members *cough*

Any help is definitely appreciated.

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!!!!!!

You're a complete snob. I cringe to think to who and where this speech will be made. A load of arrogant, pompous twits having a good aul' laugh at people from disadvantaged areas....*shudder*

Huggles

Nike air max, celtic jerseys, dutch piss beer, dodgy taches, white tracksuits, skinny rakes, they sit upstairs down the back on buses, they play dance music on their phones on the bus, drive those annoying scooters, sovereign rings, gold chains, girls wear hoopy earrings, lads are usually named something -o, anto, deco, locko etc, girls in pjs in the local spar

more coming to me....

Edit: I am anything but a snob

Hahah I'm from a disadvantaged area myself so I wouldnt consider myself a snob.
I'm not going to refer to them as skangers, but will mention the word at least twice during the speech.

Thanks Huggles and The-Rigger. Gonna add everything to a list.

Wikipedia is your only site when you need info in a rush

Edit: Beaten to it by the Rigger ^^^^

You do realise there are people out there who would consider you a "Skanger" just because of your accent and where you live? It's an offensive and derogatory words...and everyone's heard the stereotypes a million times before....it just ain't funny anymore.

The wiki is pretty weak on it. Perhaps we should increase the knowledgebase.

Awww so sorry Eve but I'd stick out like a sore thumb amongst "Skangers". I've been living in a disadvantaged area for 20 years. I am now 20 so I've should have grown up to be a "Skanger".. no? I don't sound like one because I chose to listen in school at a young age. I consider myself fairly educated because I also chose to go down this road. These "Skangers" chose differently.
I'm not slagging disadvantaged area's as such... just a term given to people who just act like they're all 'Ard Men etc. Like slagging... Bikers or Hippies? No? ok. have a beer on me

.

edit: The-Rigger, you're correct. Too weak in my opinion.

Do you really wear PJs out on the street?

It takes 30 seconds to pull on some jeans. Each to there own but I think it looks ridiculous, out of interest, what is the reasoning?

I did it for the first time a few weeks back...black PJs..not the penneys puppies and hearts malarky and was dyin of a hangover so the 30secs to put on a pair of jeans was ignored for the fact i could get my breakfast roll 30secs quicker

Laziness, nothing more or nothing less!

What I want to know is why do lads tucks their tracksuit bottoms into white socks. WTF is that about?

Ok, it doesn't affect me but it's the latest craze and I can't figure it out

Oh man, thats a craze? I don't want none of it.
Was walking to college last week and saw some young lad doing as you just mentioned. Obviously I looked and was like "wtf". But everyone in their cars were looking. Not my cup of tea.

I believe that is to show off the latest uber classy nike air max.

True story.

That reminds me, a taxi driver told me recently that he was in that spar type shop on O'Connell Street recently (can't remember name of it now).

Anyways, he saw two scanger girls in their Pjs and asked them if they had escaped from Temple Street and they went mental at him!

They think it makes them more manly having everyone look at them in what they think is "admiration"

Although every lad does it, I hate being out with my lad mates when it's just me, they have no shame!

Oh and I hate to say it, but PJs going to the shop is soooo comfy!

Who are you making the speech to?

A bunch of skangers, probably

dsmythy

If you live in one of the areas where they are common enough then you should really know everything you need to know through basic experience. Quit being lazy and looking for other people's words to put in your speech.

That'll be really "funny" then, will go down like a fart in a spacesuit I should imagine. I honestly can't think of any situation or context where giving a SPEECH:eek:on skangers seems like a good idea tbh.

I like your thinking

If you're called Anto, Deco (Anthony & Declan also accepted) or Jacinta you are a scanger, FACT!

Mr. CooL ICE

Be sure to point out the regional differences of scangers too, e.g. slang terms. Also discuss Limerick scangers' (aka 'scobes') overuse of the nasal passages while speaking. Try and find the root cause of it too, cause I have no idea
