Tracksuit Mafia

Definition

British slang for the Adidas-clad youth subculture known for tucking trackpants into socks, sporting oversized jackets, and perfecting the art of asking strangers for phone change. They're essentially the UK's answer to street corner philosophers, except their philosophy involves cigarettes and benefit fraud.

Example Usage

The Tracksuit Mafia were out in force at the bus stop, asking everyone who passed if they had 20p for the phone.
