Any of several teenagers seen sitting on the side walk, loitering in a park, generally hanging around in public places at all hours as if they have no home. They often travel in groups, and pool their money to buy snacks. They ussually have distinctive fashon senses, and sometimes wealthy parents whom they reject, or who have cut them off. These beautiful children of the streets need little to survive- only each others company.
