Eighties British slang for a gang consisting predominatly of Jamacians, or those of Jamacian descent. Usually yardies work in large groups and favour torture to anyone who says anything against them. Their downfall is their rash decisions, inability to handle the police democratically, and thier general disorganisation when compared to larger gangland groups. Yardies, though many, tend to share a distrust for anyone outside their own gang, and are often drawn into gunfights or knife battles. Charactorised by excessive jewellry, puffer-jackets, baseball caps and screeching accents.
Usually violent and easily lured into losing their monies through misadventure.

Slang term for "yard glass", typically drunk at 21st parties, often ending quickly in vomit. If you can't scull your yardie (and keep it down) on your 21st, you fail.
