d4s / skangers

50Cent · 02-06-2003 01:12AM

Sangre you just seem like a wannabe.

Well Im pretty sure I'd be classed as D4. Live in Leopardstown, school is in D4

So no you arent classified as a D4...sorry.:cool:

But if you live in those nice houses in the heights or those red brick houses down from the race course...you arent doing TOO badly...but you aint D4...hehehe

In response to Pigman
IMO skanger is a term invented by skangers themselves and their mates.For example,some of my friends who are real borderline alcoholic hash heads with law trouble might say something like"I got into a row with a load of skangers last night"ommiting the fact that everybody regards them as a skanger.There are two types of people who live in the poor/middle class areas most of us live in-the 75% who like to get occasionally locked,get into the odd row,smoke the occasional joint,snort the odd line or take the odd pill......and then there are the guys who get drunk every day,smoke hash more than they smoke cigarettes,may do heroin,go out specifically with the intention of rowing etc.Alot of skangers are sound enough but at the same time they arent the types you would go out of your way to tell that your house is empty this weekend.Sound,but untrustworthy.
And anyway skangers dont say D4s-they say poshies,or more commonly rich kunts.
Its not really a class thing-people on the Northside talk more about skangers probably more than the D4s do.
Did you ever take the How Skanger Are You test on www.p45.net ?(think thats the URL).
I got 96% so oil break yer fcukin face bud!

If the first person who posted moves to Dublin they two will be a "fuhkin' culchie". Dubs dont realy know what a "fuhkin' culchie" is.

I think he went to Gormanston College. How do I know that. I think I went there too

-edit-
Ok aparently he attended many schools.

Taken from www.hollywood.com

Raised in the Castleknock section of Dublin, this son of a soccer player admits to a somewhat rebellious youth, attending several schools and indulging in beer drinking. After spending a year in Australia, he returned to Ireland and enrolled at the Gaiety School of Acting but left after a year when his career began to take off.

Chief.

D4 types typically divide into:

"classic" - see above
"subversive" - where they know the reputation d4 types have so make some attempts to hide it by disguising their accents, clothes, mannerisms, or behaviours. Most typically seen during the ages of 14-18, where loud individuals on the back of the 46a will have competitions to see who can sound like the loudest knacker, and then get off at White's Cross. (For those that don't know it: Left is Blackrock, Right is Foxrock) This stage typically wears off when they start making money for themselves, or more likely, come into contact with an actual knacker (usually violently).

Any subversive can easily be distinguished from a proper knacker by the fact that a) They will be physically clean, b) No scars.

Knackers will know the words to classic Irish tunes, the national anthem, and will usually be beating the **** out of you. d4 types will not know any Irish ballads because, frankly, that sort of thing just doesn't happen. (if you see someone "posh" singing Danny Boy - they're someone who - quiet now - goes to mass. Sidle out quietly before any of your friends see you with them.)

50Cent · 02-06-2003 11:56PM

I think Colin Farrell is cool man. I dont think he TRIES to be a knacker and i dont think he is one either. He is what most men would like to be...Filthy ****en Rich and is a complete ladies man.

I respect him mainly for the ladies bit...he wouldnt be a bad guy to make friends with if you moved to HollyWood.

I live to the left of Whites Cross(actually lived, i just moved last july).

The right isnt exactly Foxrock...thats more Leapardstown but it is a way(of many different ways) to get to the Real Foxrock...The Village. Foxrock Village is where the real snobs are @. Little Ditsy half pretty 46A girls would get on and talk about their nails or some ****. basically utter wannabes. I dont like foxrock girls...very rarely do you come across a REALLY hot one anyway.

I dont know Ranleighl, do you mean Ranelagh ?

Thats not posh, there are a lot of bedsits and flats there, granted a lot wealthy people live there, because of proximity to city and all that but it does have a reputation of being stoodentvile also.

Cept of cours for Ken Doherty who is a rich native !

Clearly the government needs to forget their silly under 21 ID idea and instead introduce a 'Location Card' scheme. Wouldnt it be nice if bouncers could just ask where you were from and you could show an unforgable card? 'Tallaght? Ehhh no bud, not tonight'. Same thing in cinemas, cafes, whatever! Would reduce the trouble in Dublin by a huge amount.

D4 could be platinum, blackrock / foxrock / malahide / drumcondra / other okish areas could be gold, anywhere else could be mud

Hell, why not just make the 'mud' population wear their badge on the outside of their clothes. Thatd get rid of even the need to ask them to show it! Could just avoid them on the street!

Try telling that to the peasents

Nah I meant other people would brand me like cattle with the term D4.
And God no I dont wanna be a D4er, some of the people Ive met in my school are the biggest bunch of prícks I've ever met, no respect for anyone or anything.

Yeah, I live in those houses

hey did you go to Hollypark?

And while we're at it, why not shape it like a star?

dendenz · 11-06-2003 06:56PM

Was in Centra the other day in town buying a bottle of coke and a Snickers with a friend of mine and he was giving out to me about stereotyping people because I was talking about skangers, and guess what they go in and say Hi Bud to the clerk and buy six Dutch gold, needless to say I got an apoogy

Good idea, but I think thats been copyrighted already.

But he has a point, the main reason a bouncer will let you in is because of your accent/clothes. they just think, oh he must have a load of money to spend etc..

aodh_rua · 12-06-2003 02:53PM

Charlie McCreevy was on the Late Late a few years ago and he said D4 is not a place, its a state of mind. Probably the truest thing a politician's ever said. I mean the biggest D4 bird I've ever met is from Longford - and its amazing how hard wannabe D4-heads try.

Red Alert · 12-06-2003 07:10PM

then you've got people who actually are from D4 who act like skangers

True!
Most of you musn't be in D4 much. Ringsend is a major part of D4 and its not snobby, actually the oppsite. How long ago did that nickname for snobs come about?

Funky · 12-06-2003 09:38PM

i always thought that the actual D4 name came about not because of the people who actually live there but the kind of places which are there like rugby clubs and expensive schools etc. so the people who hang around there are more D4 rather than the people who physically live there

p.s you're all common

cat_rant · 17-06-2003 06:47PM

i grew up in fingals south and use to do speech and drama a kid and talked properly and got called a poshie but as for classing myself i speak well normally but sound like an utter scumbag when im in a fight bar the fact that i dont dress like a scanger youd swere i was one im so ashamed of it

Retr0gamer · 17-06-2003 08:06PM

Don't mistake the AJH's with the skangers. AJH's just have a woeful accent but aren't the scum of the earth. By the way AJH stands for 'ah jasus howaya'.

Tazzle · 18-06-2003 04:11AM

Well it came from Ailesbury Road and that area, which is as you know from Monopoly, the most expensive land in Ireland, dont know about in reality, but those houses are pretty nice

d4s / skangers
