scobe

a variant of the commonly known dublin skanger, knacker and sc-mbag. many specimens like to wear baseball caps with razor sharp creases in the peak, perched precariously as high as possible on their head, which is entirely shaven except for the fringe. pathetic looking fluff above the upper lip is a sought after characteristic in a scobe. the latest in reebok, nike and adidas apparel – often fake or stolen – can be usually seen hanging off a scobe.
look at the tracksuit on that f-cking scobe.
sc-mbag usually seen on the streets of cork, dublin or limerick. general attire is tracksuit pants, nike baseball cap, hoody and celtic jersey for male scobes and pink sweat pants, hoody and huge hoop ear rings for female scobes. all wear too much bling jewellery (sovvies on each finger, gold chains and bracelets), almost all of which is either stolen or electroplated copper. also under the delusion that dutch gold qualifies as decent beer.

generally drive fiat puntos, honda civics or toyota starlets with body kits and stripped out m-fflers with the delusion that these make the car go faster. also play their hip hop too loud for anybody with half a brain to put up with. the boy racer is a well-known sub-division of the scobe.

they are hated by all respectable people, but the most deep-rooted rivalries are with grungers.

low level gang member, or punk. also noted as the typical guard by terry prachett. they attack the hero of the piece one at a time, instead of overpowering him with their superior numbers. a scobe is no the lowest of people, but is the most common, useless muck. a scobe has no great abilities at all. numerous scones are identical, and all fail to achieve anything without the direction of their leader. (who or whatever the leader migth be)
no don’t get up you stupid scobe, you’re on the ground for a reason!
