Steek (term)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Northern Ireland, a steek is a pejorative slang term used to descibe a sub-culture. It is particularly common in the North Down area. In some circles, the more common word spide means the same sub-culture as a steek - a young unemployed male who dresses in sports gear and baseball caps. However, steek has occasionally been known to be used to describe young people, mostly again males, who over-dress in "trendy" clothes.
