yobbish

Like a hooligan

Yobbish describes behavior characteristic of a yob—crude, loutish, and antisocial.

The word is British: yobbish football fans, yobbish behavior at the pub.

It suggests rowdiness, aggression, or a deliberate lack of refinement, often associated with young men drinking too much and looking for trouble.
