It is a word which appears to be in common use within towns that have historic Irish communities, for example Salford, Warrington and Liverpool, where 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 As one leaves the "Industrial Belt" of the Mersey and Irwell Valleys the word appears to have been replaced by Chav. Chavs are known to dress in Burberry outfits rather than Lacoste.
Scally is a slang term, originally used in the north-west of England and north-east Wales to describe the unemployed working class, who have little or no education, and are stereotypically involved in antisocial behaviour, and sports fans. The stereotypical 'Scallies' dress in Lacoste Tracksuits, wear silly hats with ear warmers and tuck their trouser legs into their socks. These delinquents are often violent and offensive to non-members of their subculture, resulting in attacks often on those perceived to be a goth or similar.
