Yob: a rude, noisy, and aggressive young person.

This has been a pretty common thing in late night McDonald’s in Britain for years. And some not late night. >

Damn, "yob" must be a really common word in Wales, the article uses it 5x without explaining. >

Backslang rocks, it was an argot, used to exclude ... like Cockney rhyming slang, but like all language would have helped form a strong identity >

A local pub in my little town was claimed as their regular spot by a group of traveler people who scared away the other clientele by starting fights and had to be thrown out by police a bunch of times.  The landlord started playing classical music all night and they moved on pretty quickly.  It works apparently.
