[*]You listen to your whole music collection on your mobile phone. On public transport.

That assumption is wrong in my case, nokia 5310 with headphones and mostly heavy metal:pac: Not my fault i'm a poor student...

And to add to the list:

* If you only have comebacks like "yore ma/da"
* Think handing around a bus stop or on some steps makes you cool
* See a photographer and think they are just *****rs
* Love to throw stones at and antagonise the emergency services
* Have 6 mates all playing the same song from your phones on the back of a bus, upstairs of course as thats where the cool kids are at:p
* You have two mates called anto, another called deco and your sisters are probably called seeelllliiiiinnnnaaaa, raaaaccchhheelllll and sttaaaaaccyyyyyy.

for definition of skanger someone needs to put up a link to youtube video from athlone (I can't right now; youtube blocked and not using proxy)... the one with the 'female' asking the 'male' why he sleeps with hippos... it is taken on a mobile phone looking down into the street... it is scary... possibly a fake but funny nonetheless

The only clean item of clothing that you are wearing is your sparkling white socks which you are so proud of you feel the need to tuck your tracksuit into them, which has the added bonus of showing off your lovely black shoes as well.

True story, one of my buddies works for Tralee town council and a birth cert was sent, the baby was given the christian names..... wait for it, wait for it..... Rhianna Beyonce. We have now given her the moniker of Rho Bo. Poor girl she doesn't have a hope..

The below constitutes a "skanger"...?

• Your ass says "Juicy".
• You listen to your whole music collection on your mobile phone. On public transport.
• You have a daughter callled "Shaniah" or "Britney".
• You randomly vandalise.
• Your TV is far too big for your living room.
• You have a fluffy pink steeringwheel-cover and matching dice.
• You call it "me Growler".
• The chipper counts as "Italian Food".

The highlighted ones I would also associate with those D4 ones whose accents make me want to tear my ears off and never set foot anywhere near where the 46A stops - ever, ever again.
What do non skangers refer to their vaginas as? I choose the particularly classy "my gee". And anyone could randomly vandalise. It takes a fair bit more to constitute a "skanger".

You follow liverpool.
You write quotes from 2pac songs on bus shelters.
You voted no to Lisbon because some bloke down the back of the 17a told u we'd loose out.

You can do really loud whistles with or without your fingers

You can do surprisingly long wheelies

If you spit in public.

Your nickname is a shortened down version of ur name wit o added to the end. Or ur surname wit er added to the end.

Spit and chew gum in sync.

Think WKD is 'lush'

Drive around town, windows down, seat near horizontal, boom chikka boom emanating from the stereo, Burberry cap in place.

Never laugh or smile.

My surname is Fagan. Some bastard shortened it to Fago. Now it's stuck with me.

But No deary deary me I'm not a skanger.

Calibos

You think the phrase, "We were only havin' a laugh like" is an excuse for anything.......even when arrested with the knife still in your hand dripping with blood

EG. Could hear a lot of glass breaking. Went around the corner to see a gang of teenage scumbags lobbing empty bottles....at their girlfriends!! Bottle after bottle smashing within inches of their faces, on the ground, on the wall beside them....

"WTF are you doing lads??"........"We were only havin a laugh!"

WIPE THEM OUT........ALL OF THEM

First name wit an o. You'd have to be faganer under those rules.

Also, ur a skanger if u think grand theft auto and driver are the epitome of gaming.

Capt'n Midnight

if your idea of protection during sex is a bus shelter

if you have kids for the mickey money

if you don't mind fathering kids or causing damage or other stuff that you might have to pay for because you've got no money so no one can sue you

Your parents know you take class As and don't mind. +1 if they take them wit you.

I like this thread, but there's simply far too many traits being
thrown around.

Maybe a Top 5?

Here's mine: No particular order.

Freely and unashamedly swear in front of children
Wear tracksuits to funerals.
Own a pit bull to "look mean."
Wear pyjamas' outside the house.
Deliberately talk with a "waaarh" accent.

star.chaser

you use cling film instead of condoms

milod

you're a skanger if you address any male under 25 as 'yunfleh'
and any male over 25 as 'misstauh'

having a girlfriend with a black eye earns extra points.

The gangster/thuglife setting is a bit skangery. A game wit the same mechanics in a different setting wouldn't appeal to the same fanbase.

Also havin you me and marley in your collection.
