Good to know. Hadn't heard "radge" before, looked it up, get the idea. Looks like it's been kicking around for a bit too (at least since the 1920s)... http://

  Well, that's more of an Edinburgh term - in my own youth I'd have probably called them a "bampot". :-) [NB The absolute worst "radges" are usually wee guys - Begbie from trainspotting being a classic, and all too realistic, fictional example]

    Context for who\what Begbie was for anyone not familiar with Trainspotting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc3E7UkIzt4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc3E7UkIzt4 It's unlikely that you'd see something so violent as a guy chucking a pint glass into a crowd, but randomly targeted violence\aggression is not uncommon and having worked in a bar in Edinburgh I have served, chatted with and had altercations with various Begbies in my time.
