The archetypal Anson Lads; e.g. drink too much, smoke too much, take recreational drugs, take a highly mysogenistic view of women, etc

The lads take thie name from the song by the Libertines

They live by the values of; "bros before hoes" and often consider other members of the group as "brothers from another mother"
Will, Joe and Doug are such a bunch of likely lads

Someones been smoking crack in the shower! i want to see the likely lads in my office immediately.

Get the Likely lads mug.
A fantastic song by The Libertines. On their second album, it descibes the unstable relationship between Carl Barat and Pete Doherty, the main men of the Best British Band 2005 (voted for by NME readers)
Please don't get me wrong
See i'll forgive you in a song
We'll call the Likely Lads
