scangers

Scangers are people usually from disadvantaged or impoverished working class areas of the northside of Dublin city and are also found in similarly poor parts of the mostly affleunt south. In the northside of the city they are commonplace and most youth happen to subscribe to the scanger culture whereby tracksuits (preferably nike) or trackies are worn, as are burberry hats and jewlery (bling) is worn. This on a whole is the cultural dress of the people and is complimented with thick drawlish dublin accents and an in-built expectation to show contempt for the authorities. There is of course exceptions to this and some area of the north are similar to the affleunt south e.g Howth, sutton, clontarf, castleknock, bayside and in these areas the D4 culture is prevelent

scanger

A perpetually angry person who speaks with a high pitched voice, starts arguments as often as you have hot dinners and generally fcks up any sane social situation.In winter the male of the species typically wears a ben sherman shirt, an undersized jumper, tight jeans rammed up his hole, sovereign rings on the fingers and bad hygiene.The female sports tacky awful clothes, ear rings the size of swimming pool rims and a face in an unending twisted gnarl of rage.Facial wounds are also common.These people often have a good sense of humour.

colin farrels character in "intermission" is an example of a scanger, the perfect combination of tracksuit bottoms and some crazy jumper from the 80's

Scanger perplexity

This is the confused facial expression of scumbags. Many reach it by default rather than by design and it firstly involves a tilting of the head by 20 degrees. Meanwhile the Mouth opens like guppy fish at feeding time. A furrowed brow below a greasy mop of hair completes the package. Many accompany this look with a matching tracksuit and Nike runners.

Conductor: "sir you can't smoke on this bus"
(Scanger begins the look - scanger perplexity)
Scanger: "eh warewil I fuckin smoke den?!"

Or

"Hey look at that scanger perplexity on that toe rag reading the bus timetable"
