Is a term used to describe sad, subjacent, illiterate adolesents between the ages of 12-20, who live in australia.
They are characterised by polo/nautica shirts (with collar popped), caps (tilted upwards), jeans/tracks (lowrider, baggy style), asinine hair cuts and their "nigga" attitudes & "badass" personalities...hence, they are normally school dropouts...
Normally, they group together in mobs between 3-20, trying to act, talk and walk "hard" to impress their company.
Lads are usually found during daylight hours, in or near, Maccas, shopping complexes, fubu/kappa/nike retailers. Acting to immtimate normal shop patrons, with such phrases as "what brah" "shank ya" "f*ck c*unt".
They usually retreat back home at dusk, afriad of meeting someone darker in skin colour or more sizable then themselves.
A typical lad is sh*t scared if someone, does not seem "rattled" by their "scare tatics" (both verbally and physically) and responds in force. (the lad usually runs away)
Some Lads are said to be androgynous... but thats still debated

The most disgusting, scum of the earth, pieces of shit. They think they are top shit but everyone else thinks that they are complete losers. A dissapointment not only to Australia, but to the human race. They wear white caps, strippy polo shirts and dirty sneakers. They are usually skinny and look weak. They usually hang around train stations or shopping centres, tagging walls and speaking their own complete fuckwittage language. If there could be any law in Australia, it should be to make these little pieces of shits go to some shitty little island where they can listen to their shitty music music, take their shitty little pills and just shit all over each other.
LADS ARE TAKING OVER, WE MUST DESTROY THEM
Look at their fashion sense, eurghh seriously go and wear some jeans or something...

An australian Chav
by Peter Cardakaris October 4, 2007
Guys that think theyre hard. They generally wear Sports caps, stripy polo shirts, footy shorts or nike trackpants and Nike Tns. They go around starting fights with younger kids thinking it makes them look big, and gate crashing partys no one would invite them to. You'd find them hanging out front of shopping centres smoking and talking themselves up. Also Lass which is the female lad. Lasses act and dress just like Lads.
Lads also have really small bags?

Lads are of various age usually male but also females, who tend to hang around large shoppings centres or train stations in Sydney. More commonly could be described as the Australian version of British chav.
They appear to be destinctly defined wearing:
- White Nautica Cap

Basically giving brands Nautica and Canterbury a bad name for delinquent wearers. They appear to be loud and confronting in large groups of followers who usually range from 10 - 20 +, and appear to have a bogan like appearance. Although they try to be tough, they are actually pansies at heart.
Can be described as "Eshay Lads" also, and seen inhabiting areas such as Train Stations,Bus Shelters,Taxi Ranks,Outside Major Shopping Centres and Street Corners.
Mostly found in Sydney's West (Penrith,Parramatta)
and can be found in a range of nationalities.
