Eighties British slang for a gang consisting predominatly of Jamacians, or those of Jamacian descent. Usually yardies work in large groups and favour torture to anyone who says anything against them. Their downfall is their rash decisions, inability to handle the police democratically, and thier general disorganisation when compared to larger gangland groups. Yardies, though many, tend to share a distrust for anyone outside their own gang, and are often drawn into gunfights or knife battles. Charactorised by excessive jewellry, puffer-jackets, baseball caps and screeching accents.

Usually violent and easily lured into losing their monies through misadventure.

The term 'Yardie' refers to Jamaican criminals. Many operate in London,dealing drugs and acquiring illicit money.Frequently seen driving BMW's (with) darkened windows, they like to visually display thier status;expensive gold jewellery, designer suits and sunglasses! They will administer very quickly violence and (death) to those who show 'disrespect'.Life expectancy low as thier deeds sooner or later catch up with them..
Police swooped on yet another group of Yardies in North West London, this time from Harlesden.

Slang term for "yard glass", typically drunk at 21st parties, often ending quickly in vomit. If you can't scull your yardie (and keep it down) on your 21st, you fail.
"Man, Josh couldn't handle his yardie, chucked up everywhere!"

yardie bone

A large cock. This phrase was popularized by the Sean Paul song of the same name featuring Wayne Marshall. Yardi refers to locals, or sometimes jail-cell pals (as in "jail yard"). Double entendre here since yardie also can mean one yard long, i.e. a 36-inch monster boner.
