In Britain, a typical "lad" would be someone who drinks copious amounts of alcohol, goes to football matches a lot and behaves like an idiot, and is generally, well, an idiot! :lol: Thus, laddish would mean... loutish. Or something. :? :lol:

Do you get many laddettes?

Actually how old do most lads get, there's a lot my age but i can't see them ever getting much older than 30 before they grow out of it.
