Young teens usually from London area who wear adidas tracksuits and carry their mums' kitchen knife for 'protection' against other wastemen. Usually seen late at night and often in packs, the common wasteman involves themselves in petty crime such as stealing bikes and vandalism. Usually selling drugs or taking them, every wasteman will have a list of reliable plugs for contraband and will have a plethora of numbers able to provide various narcotics around the clock. Speaking with little grammatical structure, the common wasteman has a distinctive accent which is also a method of establishing solidarity amongst fellow waste. In terms of their likely whereabouts, wastemen usually occupy public areas such as the park or outside the kebab shop. Speaking of which, the local kebab centre is commonly referred to as the wastemans' synagogue where such individuals spent a considedable amount of time, congregating with others alike. Although seen as an annoyance, the common wasteman will establish a unique bond with the local corner shop owner which is often visible through the mutual use of the title 'bossman' when communicating with one another. Although thoroughly defined, here are a few other common traits that are associated with wastemen,

- Driving cars with tinted windows
- Stealing money from parent(s)
- Buying 39p energy drinks/crisps
- Unjustifiable and non-sensical hatred for the police
-Listens to grime
- General lowlife
- Uses nokia brick

Roadman comes from the 21st century slang word, describing a boy (normally at a teenage age) as someone who thoroughly knows the ins and outs of his area, and the people in the area - he will also be involved in popular events such as trapping, driving (cruising), parties etc.

Roadman is a word that first appeared in the 21st century in London, England.

Roadmen are often characterised by several factors:

1. They mostly consist of drop outs from school or at least be below the average IQ level of a 12 year old.
2. They wear puffer jackets no matter what season of the year it is. However tracksuit variations do occur, those tracksuits are more often than not from Nike or Emporio armani same as with the puffer jacket species. Their footwear consists of multiple pairs of Nike trainers such as the Air Max series or from the Air Huarache line of shoes. Some do wear however wear Adidas or Jordan's, depending if their benefits are big enough to cover their cost.
3. They more often than not have a small man bag to carry their marijuana and other illegal substances, their cigarettes bought from a corner shop and a small shank for extorting money.
4. either they or their parents live off of pure welfare and benefits. And somehow manage to get more girls and better clothing than the typical person.

A Roadman is a male from 15-30 and knows all of his area (UK mainly England). As said in other cases, is a distant relative of the chav (a person who hides in their mothers’ basements). They have been seen to wear Bin Bags, Nike Air Tracksuits, Fake Gucci ; a manbag containing a knife and a bag of weed. They cannot speak English very well ; their language was made to confuse Americans. They have a strange behaviour and often group up in gangs, smoke and perform robberies at your local Greggs. KFC and McDonald’s are their favourite places (as they can now get 23% attention there). If you see any vandalised Boris Bikes, it is told to leave your planet immediately as they are their favourite vehicle - peace, love and chesticles, Me

The true definition of a roadman is a guy with no job yet acts like he's got money, no future but acts like he's going places. To support this lifestyle he takes part in illegal activity known as 'street activity' and starts becoming respected by guys on the street and sometimes even feared. Actually most full on roadmen are feared as they are often very violent. Many girls love them and roadmen like fucking anyone but do not stay around to deal with the consequences but now and again will pop in and mess with their child's head sometimes even using their child for personal gain (some roadmen do love their children though). The main thing is once you are a roadman it's almost impossible to get out you will die a roadman either from old age or from 'street activity' gone wrong.

Being a roadman is a responsibility and a way of life that you have to own and be ready for otherwise you're just a wannabe.
Damn he's so heartless, such a roadman

A ‘roadman’ will typically/hopefully be a teenager(do not let man fool you) but sadly, there are men in their 20s considered to be a road man.

A roadman will be involved in illegal activity such as, shotting(dealing) weed, and if not almost definitely smoking weed. Other illegal activities include GBH (as they like think/prove they are ‘hard’), Vandalism, and so forth.

A roadman’s attire is typically Nike, Adidas, and other JD type branded clothing(tracksuits and body warmers) will always have the newest trainers.

Language: a roadman will always speak in slang.

Transport: a roadman will always ride a bike, even if they are old enough to drive.
Future prospects: a roadman will aspire to become a crime/rap artist, will definitely have a soundcloud account. (Be the next J Hus, or Stomzy as such).

Whereabouts: a roadman will always be in the local area either, behind garages, outside fast food chains, park or near a park, walkway tunnels, so on; alleyways)
