Breed fast enough and you can have your own racial culture.

Skateboarders?

Ah now come on - skateboarders tend to be pretty cool dudes in all fairness.

I like how you think wearing a real name brand tracksuit is classier than wearing a fake one.

I must be a skanger. Years ago while on holiday in Cyprus I needed an extra couple of t-shirts so bought two knock off Puma ones in a market. I steered clear of the 'Adiads' t-shirts though. I regret not buying them now as they were so fake they were funny.

I'm not entirely sure what a skanger is as I'm not from Dublin and never hear that word here. I suppose it would be a male in his late teens/early twenties who has just gotten his driving licence and thinks he's great so goes speeding around beeping at every remotely attractive female he sees and shouting abuse at everyone else.

I'm not sure what a skanger is exactly. But it's probably something that's more in the jaundiced eye of the beholder than anything else. I just hope it isn't as bad as the kind of pass-remarkable judgemental narrow-minded cnut that likes branding people and placing them in arbitrarily defined categories.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

If they're proper professional types who take it seriously and have some good skills then I'd respect them for it.

It's the fifteen year olds shambling around Eyre Square unable to execute anything remotely resembling a trick except falling right in front of me at speed that I hate. And unfortunately they're the only ones I ever see

Unfortunately I don't think the world's quite ready for that yet.

That being said, I'll have a lash at the old breeding anyway.

I don't know why there is so much confusion as to why skangers are often the but of the joke on here IMO there are two reasons
Makes people feel superior
They would never point out their observations to a real life skanger for fear of getting their head kicked in

Anyone of us could be categorised as a stereotype .
I would like to see a thread as to why students suck haha

BS I've had to give many a skanger a good kickin in my time. Most Skangers are wimps, thats why they are always shaping and acting the hardman.

Most of them are skinny little runts, the hardest part is catching the buggers.

Damn you was going to say that about the tattoo. :P

Corkgirl1234 · 13-06-2012 11:25PM

the rihanna red hair on girls, knuckledusters, the adidas tracksuits tucked into white socks, they walk out in front of moving cars when everyone else is waiting for the green man to cross the road at traffic lights,...
these people really frighten me, they're rude,offensive, and an embarrasment to this country.
whats really funny is i went away on holidays to a different country a while back and noticed NONE of these trackie people with the white socks.like what are they thinking?they're just horrible nasty things

You say goodbye to people by saying "Selater bud!"

:P

Don't think "shtohri" is a skanger thing, it seems to be used a lot since hardy bucks aired on rte.

You know that your king of the skangers when your barred from the dole office for fighting. If your a skanger and your name is William you must be referred to as "willm" and everyone has to be given a bad nick name

No this is nonsense. I know people from "lower class backgrounds" and they are not skangers, I also know people from "really good backgrounds" that are.

It's a frame of mind and an attitude, not a class or money thing.

EDIT: Just saw the above post, oh well. Those agile pandas win again.

Most of them are from council estates though.

Nobody that calls people "buggers" has ever given somebody a hiding, don't lie to yourself.

1. Rarely walk anywhere on their own or without their mates for fear of getting their heads kicked in by rival skangers or people they've pissed off.

2. Sing "let's go fúcking mental" after 2 beers then kick over bins, throw bottles at CCTV and kick wing mirrors off cars.

3. Walk around the streets with plastic bags full of bottles/cans. The more refined skanger will carry their drink around with them in a backpack, easier to run away from the Garda.

4. Randomly kick placename signs of newly developed areas they pass through if they sound too posh for their general area. Anything with grove, crescent or even woods seems fair game.

5. Punch, kick or piss on flowers in peoples gardens, "who de fúk you think you are growing flowers around here".

6. Join local GAA clubs but never train or play, just drink their dole away in the GAA bar and buy bottles of metrosexual "light" beer for the way home, which also double as great grenades when empty.

7. After joining the local GAA, they can now also walk around in gangs armed with hurleys and the Garda can't do anything to them now cos "we're just practicing the skills" - at 3am.

8. Most of their gang look like each other because unbeknown to them, they all have the same father, just different mothers.

9. Never ever buy cigarettes themselves.
"Ye got a smoke mate/buddy/pal/mister?"

10. Most of their parents are only 13 years older than them. Actually, some of their parents still hang around in their gang.

If you drink tap water! shame on you. Or heaven forbid, you know the meaning of youth reach.
