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'.

Basically a chav in ireland. They are common drags on society, will probraly live on the dole when they are older (16/17) drop out of school as soon as they are legally able to (16) and will mitch off school until they are. Usually pop out a few skanger children covered head to toe in little tacky skanger outfts.
Smoke like chimneys and love doing so in school bathrooms where they can piss off as many fellow students as possible.
Usual female skanger; Plastered in panstick (which leaves a nice orange coating on their school shirt), have an orange hue, speak in a simple english language, are often in bathrooms trying to make themselves appear yet more orange, have low attention spans, act 'rale hard', spend all off their time with their skanger boyfirends in their boy racer cars, wearers of extremely huge hoop earrings, usually dye their hair rotten colours(often 2 tone brown and blonde) and have a constant smell of stale smoke. Nice.
Usual male skanger; owners of boy racer cars, congregate in large groups where they try to act 'rale hard'. Shout lude comments at ANY female walking past (try to keep your head down and don't make eye contact), inappropriate, talk so strangely that even natives to ireland have a hard time understanding their knacker way of talking, not a fan of personal hygiene, always surround by a cloud of Lynx (that really awful smelling male product(?) that every young male wears for some reason but no actual female likes it) and wearer of tacky full tracksuits. Nice.

As you can tell by the descriptions, they are valued members of society.

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!!!"
