I wanna know if you get scallies in any other countries apart from the UK??
These repulsive individuals are known as 'rudies' where I live, 'chavs' among posher society, 'scallies' up north, and occassionally more confusingly 'pikeys' or 'scrubbers'.
Scal's Dress Code:
Pour Homme - Adidas trousers, year old Nikes on feet, Burberry (or better yet, fake-Burberry) baseball cap on head, 8 karat gold & cubic zirconia chains and rings from mail order catalogue.
Pour Femme - Adidas trousers, patent leather porn-heels (or year old Nikes) on feet, hair greased out of recognition, 8 karat gold & cubic zirconia chains and rings from mail order catalogue.
Scal's Preferred Activities:
Pour Homme - Ragging nicked scooters around council estates until they blow up, shoplifting, fighing (with friends or enemies!), rapping about the 'Headley Boys Massive' (although what it is that's massive in Headley boys noone knows).
Pour Femme - Pushing fatherless babies about the place in Burberry-print scooters, slagging people off (friends or enemies!), drinking bacardi breezers and falling over ontop of members of the public at night.
Greetings:
***!
Is that a boy or a girl?!
Are you a boy or a girl?!
Are you gay, ***got?!
Eurgh!
[high-pitched] You wanna shag, ***got!?
or are we the only island blessed with the dubious pleasure of these people's company?
Can anybody else find a home for an unwanted social category?

We have them too. 
Actually, funny story  , a familly of these scalies as you call them, are famous here in Holland. They are know as the Familly Tokkie (actual last name)
They became stars after they appeared in a 'news' program. After they had an arguement/fight with their neighbors and because of that, had burned down their neighbour's house. 
Now, everyobody knows them. They remain homeless after they were evicted and a local celebrity offered to find them a house... he failed as no one wanted them as their neighbours.
Now they appear at disco's and other parties as an act. You can rent them for the evening and they sit there and drink beer... that's all they do (and can to).
So yes, we have them too. Mother Tokkie Part of the familly. Tokkie t-shirts Soe pictures of the Tokkies in their natural environment.

Yes. Yes we also have them here. Commonly referred to as 'foul* idiots', they are partial to Fubu, and... well your description fits pretty well.

Sounds like 'hoodrats' here..'gangsta', 'ghetto thugs' etc. But then again it matters what their ethnic background is too..such as if they are black, mexican, or asian..or white I guess, but the white guys doing these things are a joke, heh

This crowd has effectively replaced rednecks in the American South.
Used to be in days of old, rednecks in beat-up pickup trucks listening to Hank Williams Jr. on their cassette radio would cruise around drinking Busch beer and looking for fights. Now, they wear baseball caps down to their ears, have shaved heads, drive pimped up little pickup trucks, and listen to a bizarre mishmash of hiphop, gangsta rap and who knows what else.

This topic could thread on very volatile discussions.
I just want to remind everyone to exercise conscious discretion when airing one's views.
Thanks.  | | |

In little backwater Sweden we don't have them, perhaps no loss.
I've seen them in Britain, though.

Can anybody else find a home for an unwanted social category? | That sounds like a good number of the people I've met in my nick of the woods. They're of little use even to themselves. Where I live, we just know them as blokes, or dopes (at least in the case of the guys), though.
Oh, and CE, would mind getting to continuing your reply to my last PM if you have a chance? It's been almost half a month at this point. If you got other things going on, I can see that.

@Galuf: Terribly sorry, I'll reply later today.
@Giles: Yes sure, I'd like to swap them against the crazy militant animal rightists who kills lab animals and "free" chickens to a certain death, and against the miliant biological determinist feminists, thank you

We have them here as well... In fact one of Vancouver's satellite communities has a large population.... Needless to say jokes (which I can't repeat here) abound...
