“KNACKERS"
Members of the Irish traveling community with nothing better to do than steal hub caps off cars, wear tattered clothing or pointlessly beat businesses signs with sticks. The term "Knacker" can also represent a person who wears nothing but Nike, Adidas or Puma gear, stands on the corner of the local McDonald's all evening trying to intimadate young children who walk by. Generally, all members of both Knacker sub-divisions display complete ignorance of all civilisied culture (Source: Urban Dictionary).
