The male 'scally' can be easily recognised through his clothing and language used. Hair is to be short and thickly gelled, often accompanied by a cap (Burberry preferably) tilted at a 45 degree angle. Gold jewelly is a must, curb chains and bracelets mainly, but the sovereign ring must also be taken into account. A small hooped earring never goes amiss. Tops must be slightly baggy and carrying a latest brand name (at time of writing Henri Lloyd is popular). Polo shirts (Hackett) are also a popular motif of the scally, coupling heavy branding with an ability to lift the fold-over collar up around the neck. Tracksuit bottoms are the desirable trouser of choice, often being rolled into sport socks. Trainers must be worn (except on nights out where loafers become king). Reebok Classics or Nike Air Max are still the reigning style, although Adidas County trainers are becoming seen more widely. Transport comes from 'suped-up' cars which are often between 10 and 20 years old. The lower to the floor, the better. Swearing is a common factor of scally language, along with monoslylaabic terms, possibly due to the dropping out of education before GCSE's could be taken.
The female scally is often seen with a much older male scally. Hair is scraped back and heavily hairsprayed. Limitless amounts of make-up cover any blemishes, and the look is finsihed off with big hooped earrings. Clothes wise, tracksuit tops and tracksuit bottoms or jeans are preferred, along with the mandatory trainers. VPL always helps. Smoking and a young baby in a second hand pushchair are good accessories.
To find a scally, your best bet will be to parade the local big shopping mall, the local nightspots or, especaiily in seaside resorts, the main parade along the beach where numerous scally cars can be seen circling round, and round, and round...

Scallys are lowlife scum who generally hang around street corners or shopping complexes waiting to either rob or intimidate someone.
They understand no large words from the english dictionary so stick to insults like 'Knob' instead of stringing together amusing profanities such as 'Knob - Jockey'.
They are generally seen wearing fake 'designer' clothing ranging from adidas to a hot favourite 'henry lloyd'. They generally wear caps that are too small for their heads thus restricting all possible blood flow to thier tiny brains, big 'Rockport' boots are popular, stripey jumpers make them look like convicts and of course tracksuit bottoms tucked into their cartoon socks are standard.
Only scallys and cyclist tuck in their trousers. Cyclists have a proper reason. To keep the bottoms from tangling with the chain. Scallys however use it as a place to store stolen goods. The items they steal will of course not fall from the trousers as they are tucked in. Why doesnt some one tell them about elastic?
Older scallys (20-30) are generally jobless and are rarely seen unless it is dole day or they are out robbing.
Younger scally females often find it essential to be pregnant by the age of 15. They generally call their devil spawn awful names like 'Michaeeloh' This of course means many more scallys are introduced into the world each day to provide a very amusing source of entertainment for the rest of us.

<n> British slang
Anti-social youth who predominantly wears fake Burbury hats or baseball caps, stripey tops, shell suit bottoms (tucked into their socks) and brown Rockport shoes. Usually smokers, they find strength in numbers but as individuals are soft as steamy pig-shite. They shave their heads and often form 'Scooter patrols' when they are old enough to forge a license and steal a scooter.
Their main haunts are council estates, off-licences and public parks.
They walk like they own the place but have in fact probably stolen it.

Mammal with little to no basic social skills. Communicates via a series of grunts and hand gestures.
Lives in a social group consisting of a hierarchy where the leader or 'propa hard bloke' reins supreme in his knock off henry lloyd sweatshirt. Females of this species show a gross amount of flesh in order to obtain a mate in order to produe young at an early age - usually 15-18. These creatures have a variaty of mating calls including the well known 'ere ar yo' and 'ere ar will yo buy us some fags mate'.
Often found at night near cornershops, parks, phoneboxes or anyother place they feel they may intimidate far superior creatures, the scally will most certainly be found with a can of white lightning or woodpecker in their posseion.
While these creatures seem aggressive and act like complete tossers it is important to note that a string of long and hard to pronounce words often confuses them leaving them utterly helpless e.g. 'are you a bit thick like mate?' is often most sucessful at rendering a scally stupified.

scally was a liverpool term for "casuals" and over time has come to mean any kind of young "hood" who wears sportswear, or acts like a "plazzy gangster"

a primitive being who wears tracksuits with the bottoms firmly tucked into blue sports socks. wears mostly adidas classic as these are all they can afford. mostly seen wearing le coq sportif tops and fake jewelry, females sporting large amounts of makeup and stupidly large 0 carat earings. the male often communicates using a variety of grunts and slang words, no longer than 5/6 words in length, and extremely jumbled up. the female usually conceives at 16, at which point the male runs away. they are usually seen in groups of 5, at which point they attempt to act hard. however, when comfronted singlely, they run away saying "get my mate on u" or "fu** u".fin is a good example of a scally. at the driving age they can be seen traveling in "modded" cars, usually vauxhall nova's or rovers. these have giant exhausts and heavy alloy wheels, which make the car incredibly slow. also the car may be seen with blacked out windows and/or dark tail lights. usually these cars acheive a top speed of 20MPH, and can be seen driving around certain places. once a place has been found, the scally will wait for other scallys and form a group to try and race these modded cars. usually metro's are chosen to be raced as these are as crap as the modded cars, however they have been known to challenge non modded cars that they think are crap.. and usually lose. at that point they resort to excuses such as "my car aint workin" or "ill get you again". the cars also have massive speakers that play the same repetitive tune over and over again. usually deafness ensues, and as the scally writhes in aghony whilst thinking that the radios broke, the scally crashes and blames it on other things.

A complete loser, usually working class. Typically wears something like lacoste shellsuit top, baseball cap and trakkie b's tucked into his socks with tasteless sports classics (eg adidas). Usually by the time they are in their 20's even these idiots grow out of it, although in Liverpool there are people who never do. If they are dressing up on a fraadee nite they will put their Rockports on before catching the train to Chester to get wasted. Usually too worried about what their mates think of them to enjoy themselves, hence ruining the atmosphere whereever they go. Usually in crowds. The social hierarchy is not based on based on 'hardness', even though they aren't hard at all. If they have enough money they might also be found in Ibiza or Faleraki in the summer.
