Talk:Scobe

d4s (people from dublin 4) are the main group of people who call knackers (the main word not "scanger" ) scobes

The above is not correct. A Knacker is a real word (old timely occupation). The whole of Ireland's population uses these terms (including Scobes/Scangers themselves), not just people from the tiny area in Dublin called Dublin 4. Who are incidentally not called D4s, but rather Toffs, Snobs or Poshies, just like any other upper middle-class people from Ireland. A D4 accent however is referred to as the type of accent that dominates Irish television. It includes lots of "shh" type sounds at the ends of words that end in the letter "t". RTÉ (Ireland's public television network) is based in Donnybrook, Dublin 4, hence the confusion. Not many people are actually from or live in D4.
