You are a skanger if

mikemac1

Plently of skanger threads but how about we nail down some definitions

Last thread for that was three years ago
So I'm not cluttering up AH here
I did search before you groan not another skanger thread

So tell us, how do we recognize a skanger?

• Your tracksuit is some cheap counterfeit but your runners cost over 100 euro
• In the evening time you roar at your children to cooooome in for yar taaaaaaay. Jaaaaaacinta will often be used too
• You have "going out" pyjamas but even though you look like a slob you still wear makeup going to the Spar shop

Any more?

...you skang more than three times a week.

let the snobbery begin.....................

aaronjumper

You like to pump out the tuuuuuuunnnnnnnes kid!!!

This is roughly the same answer I put in the last thread.

EDIT: You cut into the lining of your tracksuit so that you can shoplift more stuff.

Mr Magners

Trackie bottoms mentioned above tucked in to dirty white socks

If you start or end a sentence with "n'anyways"

Orange tan, badly bleached/coloured hair with loads of extensions, alternatively hair can be pulled into a migraine-inducingly high ponytail, cheap 'gold' argos jewellry, nail extensions, fake designer bag, hula-hoop size earrings, permanent scowl.

Damn right! They call them skangers but you never see them skang.

You're a dickhead if... you like to make fun of people from a lower class background.

We should start a "have you ever made love to a skanger" thread...

Sorry

Well there was a thread earlier this week and the OP blasting what they considered a snob in a Monaghan hotel

But people are upset over this thread and not that one?

Ah, it's nothing to do with lower class backgrounds though.
It's just to do with being a skanger!
You can be a skanger and be of any class.

It could.

I always assumed that skangers like it rough, but then I realised that they probably don't and instead it's just my deep want to hurt them!

Johnnie Blue is your cigarette of choice

Nothing wrong with the brand but you are a skanger if you say that to the shop assistant

Nonsense, it just so happens that almost all are lower class. It's an inherent thing for the poorer off everywhere. You're jumping through hoops to justify slagging off people who were born and raised in an environment/social strata that breeds "skanger" type behavior.
I don't mind a bit of a laugh but I see way too many people being consistent and serious in bashing certain types on here. It would be great if we could all be as well off.
There's a real ugly side to this kind of thread and you don't have to look too deeply to see it.

You are a skanger if .....You look like this

if you say 'afeared' but mean 'afraid'

if you drive a an '08 BMW but ask for 'the cheapest tyres yiser have bud'

if you're from the northside!!!

if you have a hairy lip and you're under 45 yrs old

if you're on the dole and cant afford a TV licence or road tax but you pay €600 for a communion dress and €300 for a party after

if you get out of a car full of kids in your PJs smoking while 7months pregnant to go into to Spar to get a can of coke and a packet of onion rings for the kids school lunch

i could go on...

Its not nonsense. Not everyone from lower class background becomes a skanger. Also I know a few from middle class background who turned into skangers when they grew up.

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.

johnROSS

hair shaved to a 1 on top, 0 at the sides. Fake nike airmax tracksuit (preferabbly in neon orange or green livery) White scummy trainers, which you call "tackies"

Did I say everyone was?
Did I say the middle class didn't have a few scummy types?

I said that most skangers come from lower class backgrounds. You're putting words in my mouth and you're missing the meaning of my post.

Nah - I personally used to know literally hundreds of people from around where I lived who were most definitely skangers - it was a typical middle class suburban area.

And actually my sister still lives there, and jesus her millions of friends are complete skangers.

It's a way of being, nothing to do with class at all.

Some of the least skangery people would be typical born and bred working class.
It means nothing imo.

I know loads of very nice people who you would never in a million years call a 'skanger' from areas i'm sure alot of you on here would associate 'skangers' with such as Finglas,Ballyfermot and both the North Inner City and the South Inner City.

At the same time I know young lads and girls also from 'posh' areas such as Clontarf,Howth and Sutton to name a few that dress and carry on like 'skangers'

toastedpickles

your a skanger if you have any of the below

A honda civic - modified of course, with the sticker "powered by the dole" proudly shown - a honda civic is considered the cream of skanger transport, only rivaled by dublin bus

In said car there are about 10 young ones crammed into it because its a "savage yoke" and this will get you noticed

you elongate every ending of your sentences ya knowwwww

congregate at chippers for something to do
then you have the posh skangers, the ones from the better off classes as they like to be known, they're basically the same as above but instead of having civics they have flashy minis, bmws and such and we all know daddy paid for that now don't we

The dart is also know as the "darsh"

In saying all this most of my friends come from "poor backrounds" and they hate skangers, so i agree not everyone's like this but for the ones who are well that's usually what i see around

du Maurier

Non-stop spitting on the pavement, or anywhere for that matter. Not just a mild-mannered spit, but preceded by the loudest, filthiest grunt before expelling the gob.

Constantly asking for cigarettes, change for a bus etc.

And how do these two groups carry on like skangers?

That's fair enough. In my area it's a different story and it does mean something. It just goes to show somethingsomething.

Skang is a sub-culture, not a class. The Skangers around my area drive Audis and can afford to party 7 nights a week. Its easy when they suppliment the dole with selling hash.

You are a skanger if you end every sentence with d'knowhatImean, without waiting for a response.

The funniest thing I ever heard was in a class in 6th year, few lads were talking about bum dropping a few deadlies at the weekend!!!

Deadlies or disco biscuits are names they used to call them
