urla

Urla is derogatory Latvian slang term, referring to all men and women aged 17 to 30 who are believed to be criminals or possess aggressive habits. The name urla itself has come from the Russian word орлы. In the beginning of 90's crimminals used to call themselves орлы, which lead to the creation of the word "urla". Basically it is just an overheard, madeover version of the word орлы which means eagles.

The term is mainly used by Latvian middle class teenagers, and the meaning is similar to the British slang word Chav.
