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

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?

A young Australian man/boy, generally between the ages of 12 and 25, who, due to a lack of any real parenting or discipline, lack the social aptitude for any real friendly connection or meaningful relationships.
As they find it difficult to attract real people these individuals gather in large groups and prey on the small and the weak in an attempt to hide their inherent fear of their own weakness.
Easily distinguishable by their nautica, saucony, and other sporting brand clothing (ironic in that even the healthiest lad pulls enough cones and smokes enough cigarettes that even light exercise such as running from police and beating down 8 year olds with their mates tires them out); not to mention various other ridiculous clothing and hair choices such as the famed nike TN's, which take many dole payments to acquire, the nautica white cap, and, worst of all, the rats tail, which has in actual fact been proven to cause severe mental disability.
the lads female counterparts, known as "lasses" (luminary I know), are generally very similar to lads in the respect that their parents mistakes create a girl who, with no self respect or ability, allow these lads (many at the same time), to stick them with their miniscule, unprotected excuses for penis's.
this in turn creates a new generation who, with their teen parents unable to provide them with even the most basic education in any academic or moral sense, turn into even worse versions of the preceding generation.
this is a vicious cycle as this causes a rapid degeneration of social behaviour in sydneys western suburbs.
As already mentioned, lads are known to roam in large groups and single out those who they sense are weaker then they are (with 10 of their mates), this list of weaker people involves women (though in many cases they still get their asses kicked), elderly people (who still can sometimes successfully fight back), children (same goes), and the mentally and physically handicapped (im sure you can guess what this caption alludes to by now =P).
They can usually be found in three places, namely any train station, as this proximity to transportation allows them to mobilize to other towns for parties or gang bash/rapes, on the trains themselves, where they amuse themselves by playing rave music on their phones, attempting to pick up, and tagging, and finally, at every damn party i seem to go to, where they insist on fighting everyone.
it is unknown from whence the lads originated, however, in a few short years they have spread from the western suburbs of sydney to lithgow in the upper blue mountains. if this trend continues it could turn into a countrywide epidemic of massive proportions, but as soon as the NSW government passes laws legitimizing their eradication as vermin the issue will be quickly resolved.
Or so we can only hope.

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
- Striped Polo Shirt (Nautica etc)
- Sport Shorts (Nautica)
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.
