Wikipedia
spide
"Chav" (), also "charver", "scally" and "roadman" in parts of England, is a British term, usually used in a pejorative way. The term is used to describe an anti-social lower-class youth dressed in sportswear. "Chavette" is a related term referring to female chavs, and the adjectives "chavvy", "chavvish", and "chavtastic" are used to describe things associated with chavs, such as fashion, slang, etc. In other countries like Ireland, "Skanger" is used in a similar manner. In Canada, in the province of Ontario (particularly used in Toronto associated with MTE), the term is "hoodman", an equivalent of the term "roadman" used in England. In the province of Newfoundland, "skeet" is used in a similar way, while in Australia, "eshay" or "adlay" is used.

Spide
A spide, is a pejorative stereotype in Northern Ireland, especially in Belfast, of someone who has a particular dress code and attitude. Spides are often young, unemployed, male adults. The term predates "chav" by at least a decade, and though similar is not identical. The female version of a spide is a "millie", a term that is decades old and formerly referred to girls work in the Belfast mills, but now is applied only to the spide counterparts. Many negative perceptions are associated with the stereotype. These include allegations that they engage in anti-social behaviour, joyride, and often consume alcohol and/or drugs underage. They are also often seen as boy racers, who loiter in car parks and public places playing music loudly from modified cars with up-rated hi-fis. Other slang terms for "spides" include "smicks", "mokes", "steeks" and "jants". The use of these terms often depends on the town, city or county within Northern Ireland.
