yobs
Rowdy street troublemakers
Yobs is the plural of yob, British slang for a rude, rowdy, or loutish young man.
The term carries strong connotations of antisocial behavior, often associated with drunkenness, vandalism, or public disturbances.
The yobs were thrown out of the pub for fighting.
Yob is backslang—"boy" spelled backward—though this origin is largely forgotten in everyday use.
