A Hamallu (male) or Hamalla (female) is an obnoxious uneducated Maltese person generally from the South of Malta. These worthless specimen generally don't even finish secondary school because they believe they're too cool for school, but the truth is their IQ is too low to grasp anything that requires the use of the brain. Hence, realizing that it's virtually impossible to find a job with no education, they start picking up my trash and bagging my groceries.
Hamalli are very similar to the British "Chavs" and the American "White Trash" and "Guidos", in that they wear brand clothing, have greasy hair, and bother other people. The male hamalli generally drive a cheap hatchback car which they modify in order to make it look like a sports car (Just like the British Boy Racers and the American Ricers). The female hamalli generally look like prostitutes (some of them are actual hookers) with three layers of make-up, cheap revealing clothing, and greasy hair.
In general, it's extremely easy to spot hamalli, mainly from their clothing or their car. They usually live in the following towns/villages/cities in Malta:
- Hamrun
- Qormi
- Marsa
- The Three Cities
- Kalkara
- Marsascala
- Zabbar
- Zurrieq
- Valletta (Which is very unfortunate because it's the Capital city of Malta)
- Birkirkara
How to avoid Hamalli:
1) A lot of younger hamalli tend to catch public buses a lot, therefore, if you're here on holiday, it's best to catch a taxi if you can afford it, or better yet, rent a car.
2) Since Hamalli are of the working class, they can't afford to do anything remotely classy. Therefore, it's best to avoid cheap restaurants, bars and clubs. It's best to stick to the more poshy expensive places, where you're guaranteed not to ever meet an obnoxious hamallu.

"Hey check out that Hamallu picking up my trash!"
"Is that an aeroplane? No, it's the engine noise of that hamallu's modified Citroen!"

Get the shamala hamala mug.It is very clear that the people contributing thus far to the Maltese street word 'hamallu' are what are know by Southerners as 'pepe' or better snobs - originating from the title 'sine nobilitate' - common, but typically wealthy stuck-up people who typically live in Sliema, St. Julians, San Gwann (not as many today), Swieqi and that side of the harbour as to say. But 'hamalli' are also present in these communities, especially were things have gone wrong.
You need to look at Maltese society in general to understand:
The Nobles - a dying breed, based in Mdina but also present in the countryside palaces and estates. Once powerful, today many effected by having to pay taxes and lack of resources to squander.
The Elite - those who work on behalf of the many who do not, humble, honest, quite well off but pay their taxes and make sure there is enough to go around to keep the nation going forward. - These exist in all communities and there is not North and South divide.
The Pepe (snobs) predominantly in the Northern Harbour area. Children of rich parents who made it well after the 40s and moved to nice residences on the coast. Now they have ended up spending their wealth unwisely and take out loans to keep up appearances.
The Hamallu - mainly proletariat, found in abundance in the Cottonera area but present even in Sliema in areas funnily known as The Lazy Corner. Give priority to all the wrong things in life and always get the wrong end of the stick.
