Irish adolescent sub-species.

Males usually sport a bumfluff moustache, an emperor Nero hairstyle and are always called either Anto or Deco making communication difficult in a crowd of male skangers. Their natural habitat is any corner at the side of any road in any town although they can also be found hanging around outside off licences in great numbers.

Females generally have strawberry blonde curly shoulder-length hair dripping of grease; a complexion akin to that of the surface of the moon and are mostly called Lizbehhh (Elizabeth). Accessories include compulsory buggy for their compulsory child.

Skangers usually have a strict dress code of Nike, Reebok or Adidas shellsuits and trainers and a Burberry cap titled at a particular angle. This is true of both male and female skangers. Additional uniform items include a 'smoke' (cigarette) probably scabbed from some poor sod they've just accosted; bling of various types but mostly a gold neck chain (male) and Elizabeth Duke Pat Butcher-style earrings (female)

Other recognisable traits include a loud over-exaggerated accent, practiced at great length to increase their 'hardness' within the pack; and a tendency to say 'knawmean' every 2.8 seconds around other words such as 'staaary', 'bud' and 'ye fuggin wankohhh'; aggressive body posture mimicking primate behaviour especially when spoken to by any member of the public about anything.

Older skangers can be recognised by their mugshots/picture in the court reporting section of any newspaper and also by their ridiculously souped-up cars...see also 'boy racers'.
"Heyohhh meestohhh...gis a fuggin smohke"
(Excuse me sir, may I please trouble you for a cigarette?)

skanger-banger 

Small, crappy car driven by a skanger. Often sporting garish paintjobs, oversized wheels, and loud exhaust systems. Ironically, most skanger-bangers are terrible, shitty cars to begin with (often gifted to the skanger by his mother or grandmother), and the modifications can end up being more valueable than the car itself.
Popular vehicles for skanger-banger-isation include Nissan Micras, Vauxhall Novas & Honda Civics.
"Fintan, call the Gardai, I saw a skanger-banger outside."
The Skanger: these creatures numbers are growing at quite an alarming rate due to their frenetic breeding, they are most likely recognised by shabby reebok and or addidas gear or if their really moving up in the criminal world,nike. They can also be recognised by their unusual birdlike walk which usually involves them moving their head back and forth much akin to a pigeon on speed.
Can be heard to say if in their immediate "pack" or "herd" of freinds "waaaaats tha storeeeeeeeee" or if a passer by- "Give us your mobile or I'll fuckin knife ya ya fuckin mupa!"
mating call:"Here Get out yar dick will yas!!!"
"Oh Darling look at that awful character he is defecating on that BMW ! "
