A term used to describe men aged 30-40, usually bald, of above average build, who gather at low cost bars with other boycers often to watch a football game. They will talk in loud voices about the arse on various females at the bar. Though they attempt to be overtly masculine, by 'being a lad', you cannot help but notice a subtext of repression and insecurity over there actual worth to a conversation or the atmosphere of the pub.
