It is sometimes used to say “calm down” when someone is about to brawl.

skrato

Skrato is a colloquial term native to the urban streets of Dublin used to define a white irish junkie, typically aged 12 - 23, who hangs around in groups of 3 - 5 (or more) with other skratos. They usually can be seen causing trouble and disturbances in public or urban areas across the Dublin area, especially in Corduff.

Everyone is saying that they can't find any older adult skrato but the truth is that they all moved to the city centre and usually come out at night as Adult Skrato. They are usually overconfident in groups, hence their reckless, antisocial behaviour. 78.5% of the groups typically have one skrato girl following them around, often being degraded/mistreated by the skratos.

Skratos often wear a grey/black nike tracksuit and a skin-fade haircut. Skratos are like bees, they only strive in groups and will most likely do nothing harmful to society or an individual on their own. They are very social amongst themselves and they are easily influenced by peer pressure which explains them longing to be in a group so that they can feel a sense of security.

Locals tend to not call the law enforcement on them because "Ah well, they’re just boys being boys relax, like" and their white male privilege making them only getting a knuckle on the scalp region by the Garda.
The following is based on a true story

Civilised beautiful person: Can I get directions?

Fookin Skrato: Yeh, follow us.

Civilised beautiful person: This isn’t the right pla-

Fookin Skrato: Alroi lad, give us 50 euro since we brought yew 'ere.

** Civilised beautiful person: Fuck off ye fuckin skrato piece of shit. **

Fookin Skrato: *takes 40 euro*

Civilised beautiful person: *sucker punches the skrato and a quick silly jab to the chin * (chin is stained with McDonnells curry sauce from last noits dinneh)

The 2 skratos run away with ye olde BLEEDING JAWS, unsuccessful

Lockon Stratos

One of the protagonist in the anime series Gundam 00 (double OH). He was a mentor to the characters in that series until his death in episode 23.

Lockon Stratos died when his GN Armor exploded from Ali Al Sarshes in space. Prior to his death, he was floating in space, and asked rhetorically if the people of earth are satisfied with the current world then he pointed towards the planet in a gun and declares that he hates it. Moments later, the GN armor explodes. We can presume from that fact that he died from the explosion.
Abayo aibou (goodbye to Haro)

Lockon Stratos was the most easygoing of the Meisters. He was a much more understanding character towards some of the actions of other individuals of Celestial Being. He never objected to helping other pilots; an example of this is observed during his actions in aiding the recovery of a disconnected gravity block.
