laddishness
Rowdy male behavior
Laddishness is the quality of behaving like one of the lads—boisterous, beer-drinking, sports-obsessed masculinity that prizes banter and doesn't take things too seriously.
The term is British and often carries a hint of disapproval, suggesting immaturity or boorishness: His laddishness wore thin after a few pints.
