Auslout [n]

Young Aussies enjoying themselves, often on drinking binges. Can be identified urinating in planter boxes or more openly in public places. Usually relatively harmless. To be avoided however when organized, often as an ethnic gang in the larger metro areas.

Not to be confused with the Aushoon who exhibit similiar behaviour though in modded automobiles. However there can be a large percentage hold membership to both groups.
