A british term used by working and middle classes to define someone who wears branded sports clothing and will typically act in the "gang mentality". Usually, this will refer to a male betwixt the years of eleven and nineteen (there are exceptions) who is exoteric, loud, condescending and "up with the birds". Scallies will typically indulge themselves in a world of material things, as a front.

Their groups will stick a non-distinct, but recognisable code of dress (so as to assume that everything they do is for the group, as opposed to for the individual). Usually, they are athletic and physically dominant. While scallies can be of any class, the average is high working class or lower middle-class.

Scallies intimidate those who are seen as a threat. They are interested in whatever is in style, and contemporary, as opposed to long-standing institutions.
Contrary to what you may believe, hating "scallies" does not qualify one for intellectualism, nor does it make you "individual". By defining words on a website as a group, do you really think that you are any better than them?

Owning a Nirvana album does not assert any superioir musical taste or ability, nor can it be defined as "real music", because all music is real.


Thus concludes another session fo bitching at the non-exoteric "moshers", and the annoying as fuck "scallies".

The common scallys role in life is to gain as much attention as possible from other members of public for the minimal educational achievement, often seen milling around the technology campus and never in seen in less than pairs.
Lacoste clad, obsene mouthed youth, often has a look of jaundice from years of drug abuse, somehow maintains a heart beat even on a diet solely made of micro pizza!

A member of a british subculture. Scallyism is particularly apparent in Liverpool.

The general traits of scallies:

They swear more than is necessary,
Get unnecessarily drunk, and smoke marijuana, because they think it is 'kewl'.
They have a tendency to be racist, homophobic, and abusive towards people who have different taste in music to Westlife, and different taste in clothes to tracksuits.
As the scally gets older, he/she'll normally spend his life claiming money from the government, due to not being able to get a job, as the marijuana has destroyed all the mental ability they had, and they spent all their school years attacking mentally ill and elderly people whilst under the influence of alchohol, instead of learning.
It is not uncommon for a female scally to get pregnant so she can claim child benefit, giving her enough money to buy that little bit more of cocaine at the end of the week. But most female scallies are stupid enough to have unprotected sex anyway.
They also happen to have the worst conversational skills, and the worst sense of humour in the world.

scallies, or scals as the are commonly known are the dregs of a working class society, hated by everyone but their own kin. They are usually found in and around council estates wearing sportswear makes(that uses up all their 14 year old single mothers dole money)such as shox and Tns. The males usually walk (or bowl) around their home turf aimlessly threatening and mugging people. They listen to poor quality music such as rap or RnB.
