Is a term used to describe sad, subjacent, illiterate adolesents between the ages of 12-20, who live in australia.
They are characterised by polo/
nautica shirts (with collar popped), caps (tilted upwards), jeans/tracks (
lowrider, baggy style), asinine hair cuts and their "nigga" attitudes & "badass" personalities...hence, they are normally school
dropouts...
Normally, they group together in mobs between 3-20, trying to act, talk and walk "hard" to impress their company.
Lads are usually found during daylight hours, in or near,
Maccas, shopping complexes, fubu/kappa/nike retailers. Acting to immtimate normal shop patrons, with such phrases as "what brah" "shank ya" "f*ck c*
unt".
They usually retreat back home at dusk,
afriad of meeting someone darker
in skin colour or more sizable then themselves.
A typical lad is sh*t scared if someone, does not seem "
rattled" by their "scare tatics" (both verbally and physically) and responds in force. (the lad usually runs away)
