    They cant be in the shop to buy something they're there to rob it, they cant be doing anything good with their life and without a shadow of a doubt they are scum..

    sorry but thats called experiance. try working in a corner shop for a week or two and you will think twice before putting on a tracksuit again.

    in fairness though its not all tracksuit wearing people, just some seem to look dodgy. if they came in with a suit on it would make you think "defendant"

    I know what your saying. But (I find) Irish people are 'extra quick' to judge/categorise people in tracksuits.

    I remember in college reading about some pyschologist in the 80's who coined the phrase "the sh*t-suit" for those people wearing a full tracksuit, as he believed it was the uniform of the social welfare sponging population.

    He and also explained that these people would eventually become so lazy that they would revert to just wearing their bedclothes all day and night.

    Some hindsight

    Foresight surely? Unless they wore pajamas outside in the 80's too!? I was too young then to remember.

    This is AH.
    It's all about 'oh how much better am I than tracksuit wearer/fatty/non-college/virgin/metal head/women/men/insert any group of people here etc.'

    Ours not to wonder why.

    In Scotland a "jobby" = a Shít. So over there they call trackies with the elastics "jobby catchers"

    Tis true, they are...tracky bottoms with the elasticated ankles look particularly awful in fairness tho - even athletes don't wear them, there is no excuse.

    I hate the way scumbag's get stereotyped with tracksuits.

    I wear tracksuits most of the time, so that makes me a scumbag...?

    I've walked down the road with my hood up aswell. That's also because you lose 60% of your body heat through your head, so believe it or not it keeps you warm.

    I find tracksuits much more comfortable than my jeans and other types of clothing. I love just walking around in my 'miles too big for me' hoodie.

    yes, seriously, stop wearing tracksuits in public, it's just impolite.

    The tracksuit doesn't seem to be as common here in England. Underclass boys walk about with their jeans hanging as low as possibile without exposing too much of the buttocks. In fact I saw one poor twerp whose trousers fell right down in the middle of a busy street because he was wearing them so low and so loose. Pull them up, you nerk! You look ridiculous!

    Not all track suit wearers(?) are scumbags but all scumbags wear tracksuits?

    Speaking of canes – are crutches part of scumbag fashion? It seems that 5% of the lads use them. Is it considered "street" to have one or is from hitting the wrong vein/punishment beating thing?
    I've heard a bit about this from a friend in social services. It's something to do with their claiming of disability benefit and the crutches are part of a scam. Thought she was winding me up but she was dead serious and she say's she is seeing more and more of it due to normal social welfare benefit being cut.

    a lot of junkies are on crutches, im not sure why, maybe it's walking in front of luases (luii??) when out of it, or banging up into your legs cripples you who knows.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/dec/17/medicalresearch-humanbehaviour

    A US army survival manual from 1970 strongly recommended covering the head when it is cold, since "40 to 45 percent of body heat" is lost from the head.

    Rachel Vreeman and Aaron Carroll, at the centre for health policy at Indiana University in Indianapolis, rubbish the claim in the British Medical Journal this week [2008]. If this were true, they say, humans would be just as cold if they went without a hat as if they went without trousers. "Patently, this is just not the case," they write.

    The myth is thought to have arisen through a flawed interpretation of a vaguely scientific experiment by the US military in the 1950s. In those studies, volunteers were dressed in Arctic survival suits and exposed to bitterly cold conditions. Because it was the only part of their bodies left uncovered, most of their heat was lost through their heads.
