TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Thug is used extensively here. It has no racial connotations in irish culture. It may have economic implications aimed at the lower classes but it's antiquated here and sounds vaguely like someones insane grampa when they use it.

Scum is definitely aimed at the lower classes, more specifically normally used in association with the traveller community or migrants.

Our tabloids prefer yob to thug, I think.  Mostly because it's a letter smaller.  You know, gives you more advertising spaces to play with, if your headline YOB SCUM RIOT ON UK STREETS to THUG SCUM RIOT ON ENGLISH STREETS.

It makes them seem hip and with it, appealing to the bigoted youth of today.
