a lookout who looks out for people coming when someone is doing something they shouldn't like stealing or having a sly tab; if they see someone coming they shout tout! then everyone acts as if nothing was happening. Keeping tout is an art which must be perfected. The slightest lack of concentr ation could result in your mates getting nicked.

Or touts for plural. These are assholes who buy hot selling music tickets (mainly festivals like Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds carling weekend and V fest), that sell out within a few hours, and then sell them on for an extortionate amount on ebay, sometimes making up to £300 profit off the real fans. You may think that touts are just normal people trying to make a bit of money on the side but they're not, between them they can buy up to thousands of tickets meaning that thousands of fans who actually want to see the bands have to pay twice as much than what the ticket is actually work. Touts are pure scum.

This term is found mostly in Northern Ireland.
In Northern Ireland, if you are claiming benefits (welfare) you are 'On the brew".
Some people claim benefits despite being completely able bodied and 'fit for work', but rely on 'sick lines' from their GP so they don't have to work.
A tout comes under various synonyms such as snitch, rat, nark, informant, grass, whistle-blower.
If you know of someone that does this, you can call up your local job centre and tell them who it is and what they're doing. This will put that person under investigation. Doing this makes you a brew tout. If people find out that you are a brew tout you will be targeted by paramilitaries or anyone associated with the person you touted on and beaten severely including a possible kneecapping.

All fingers point to Billy as the suspect, people start calling him a Brew Tout.
Billy's house is visited by the 'boys', his windows are smashed along with his knees.
