Why is it so common to see scouse men with their hands down the front of their trousers?

Question

I've lived in various different cities in my life and can honestly say that it only happens in Liverpool.

It's crazy and disgusting!

Answer 1

From what I've been told. Nuts get sweaty and itchy (esp if guys shave down below) so alot of guys adjust themselves in public.

But if the ppl you are talking about just have their hands down their pant to check it it's still there thats weird, but funny.

Answer 2

No it doesn't just happen in Liverpool - its a common sight around here in Caerphilly, aka Caerphilthy, South Wales' very own Chav mecca.

Very common to see a trackie-clad, Aquascutum baseball cap wearing spotty oik shambling along with his hands down his pants.   Funny you think its something only Scousers do because my fiance (from Kent) thought it was exclusively a South-Wales Chav thing!

Pretty disgusting really.  And I mean, what exactly do they think they are going to find down there? Nothing of any interest, I'll bet . . .!

I imagine, like Richard K says, they are scratching an itch caused by crabs/the clap which they contracted from whichever nasty, orange-tanned minger they poked round the back of the Spar shop last night . . .

Answer 3

They have crabs !

Answer 4

If you've got your hands on it they can't nick it.

Answer 5

They also do it here in the US. It's revolting.

Answer 6

making sure some scally doesn't nick it

Answer 7

I think that's where they keep their small change.
