Scallie or Scally, is also short for Scallywag,〔Chris Roberts, Heavy Words Lightly Thrown: The Reason Behind Rhyme, Thorndike Press,2006 (ISBN 0-7862-8517-6)〕 a term used as a name of a UK subculture of working class youth who had adopted a street fashion including the wearing of branded sportswear often with a baseball cap and with a hoodie worn down, not covering the face. After negative press coverage the term became a derogative and associated with hooliganism and crime.〔 〕 ==Etymology== The word's origins lie in the Irish language. It is short for scallywag,〔(worldwideworlds definition of "Scallywag" )〕 which comes from an old Irish word for drudge or farmservant – ''sgaileog''. It is a word which appears to be in common use within towns that have historic Irish communities, for example Knowsley, Liverpool, Manchester, Salford, St. Helens and Warrington. In Liverpool it is sometimes abbreviated to ''"scall"''. As one leaves the industrial belt of the Mersey and Irwell valleys the word appears to have been replaced by chav. Scalie also skellie is 18th and 19th century Scots and means squinting, squint-eyed or lop-sided, awry. In the 20th century it could mean an error, going astray. 〔Robinson, M, 1985 The Concise Scots dictionary, Aberdeen University〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scallie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
