michael Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Sellers do it with trainers and other items too, implied wording to get around the eBay rules on such things. It's not just the gays. Quite grim really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 For some reason Liverpool comes to mind when I hear 'scally'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 For some reason Liverpool comes to mind when I hear 'scally'.That would make sense. According to Wiki, Scally is a slang term for a social subculture youth, similar to "chav", but with different origins. The term is used across the UK, predominantly in the north-west of England and particularly in Liverpool to describe mostly young, working class people.

Seb Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Recently I received a message on YouTube from someone asking if I had any videos of me pumping the accelerator pedal and revving my car. Clearly, there was some ulterior motive behind this, and checking out his profile this site was listed among his favourites... http://www.sockstarsonline.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
