A person who enjoys hanging round in small-large groups on street corners and ask for 20p 'to use the phone box' or 'to get home' (despite it being popular knowledge that they live a few yards away). They often cease their actions if you outsmart them by calling them words like 'torglodite' in which case they simply say 'aw brass' and walk off.
Typical townie - grunger convo:

Townie: Eh wot come 'ere
Grunger:.....
Townie Ah blad set me 20p to use the phone box
Grunger: i dont have 20p
Townie: i KNOW u got papes, jump up and down blad.
Grunger: .....
Townie: ehhhhhhh brass wot phones u got?
Grunger: walks off muttering 'shut the f*ck up

Townie (SK) 

A person or individual who usually resides around or lingers in a town or city centre. Parasite of malls, these people can often be seen with long flowing fringes obscuring the eyes, band t-shirts, and skinny jeans. Often the individual is completely unaware that they fulfill the definition of a Townie. They will deny it in their ignorance. The brackets "(SK)" indicate another popular name for a townie, a Scene Kid.

The term "Townie", can be applied in many ways. Possibly a direct statement, nickname or words describing the individual.
For example: Hey Townie!, Harry "Townie" Colovic, That guy is such a townie. etc.

The word Townie is also interchangeable with Scene Kid (hence Townie (SK)).

a person who thinks it is 'hard' not to attend school, to say words such as 'safe', 'yea man', 'buff' and other such words. they exist on this earth purly to live off the dole in a council house with nine filthy kids who skip school and do drugs, just as they did. they are everywhere and continue to harrass anyone they feel like by attacking them physically as they dont have the vocabulary to do so verbally.

Pathetic, overgrown, monkey-brained wanabees. Tend to hang around Mcdonalds or such-like where they smoke dope (or such like). Only dope they'll come close to is each other.
Went into Mcdonalds last week...

Townie: Oi, they don't allow dogs in there.

Me: Yeah, that's why your out here!

I walked away before they realised what I had said and unleashed their fag-breath.

To describe townies as the scum of the earth would be understating the obvious. If you are not sure whether or not you are a townie, you probably are. If you can read this your are probably not. In the case of any conflict, the following rules apply.

1) All Townies believe they are "well 'ard." This is demonstrated in several ways, including offering non-verbal abuse at CCTV cameras, intimidating people when in large groups, and throwing things at passing animals. When questioned a townie never knows why he does these things, but feels that they prove he/she is "well 'ard"

2) A Townie is never actually "well 'ard." Confront one you have seperated from the pack, and the intimidating behavior will stop. On their own they are more scared of you than you are of them.

3) In a fight they attack in packs, and with weapons. This is only in the rare case of a "combat pack" of townies. Most packs will shy away from violence altogether.

4) Though Townies will generally have minimal education, those who have been educated are often taught menial labour, such as carpentry or bricklaying. This is an unfortunate slur on legitimate builders and carpenters, and the majority of townies will spend their life In Mcdonalds or other fast food vocation.

Female Townies will invariably be taught in Hair and Beauty care. They do this on the pretence that they aren't following the pack, but are simply doing what all other female townies do. This is again an unfortunate slur on those who choose hairdressing as a legitimate career.

5) Townies smoke. Without exception.

6) Townies will dress in fake burberry, and fake designer goods. All of their clothing is bought for 50p per item from the dodgyest bloke in the local market.

The problem of Townies is getting worse. Due to the fact that they begin to breed at 12, and have no concept of birth control, they are becoming uncontrolable in our society. The two options open are to simply ensure our own offspring are never allowed to join the townies, and wait for them to die off of their own accord, or a mass cull.
Townie: "alright mayte! is this real burberry?"
Market trader: "I just love these Townies"
