Minkers are often seen in packs, usually hanging around together being involved in such
noble leisure activities such as
smoking, intimidation, shoplifting (they hunt alone and in packs), brawling, and
boy racing.
Boy racing is an activity often seen on either sunny days or at night after night club hours. It involves driving around the one way system of Sligo in a souped up
little car- usually many minks will fit in their
Mink Mobile,
windows and/or sunroof are typically open- this allows the 2 way exchange between the minkers and the outside world- generally in the manner of loud crappy
music (could be raver, could be hip hop, but never very
good examples of either of these
music cultures) coming out of the car and abuse being yelled from other Minkers outside the car.
It is unclear whether these Minkers are driving around in a similar manner DURING nightclub hours after being refused entry by self respecting establishments and door staff, and this is some ritual of redemption. (citing needed.)
It is impossible to be a true Minker and speak really well, The Minker usually displays a strong
local dialect and can be difficult to understand, particularly when drunk or aggressive. Phrases
like "Whaa yew fookin lookin aaaah" are typical.
If you every encounter a Minker, survival tips include, watch your bag and any daughters you have around 13 years of age, as she will be seen as prime mating age for most teenage Minkers. Also, try to refrain from making eye contact as you are likely to be met with their
war cry, which is often a pre-cursor to a fight "Whaaaadya tink yewwer foookin lookin ahhhhhh?" " Are yeow geevin me doirty eyes, are ya? is it yeah? is it? Cmere yew!"
If you hear these noises, its best to cross the road.
Good luck
