Currently playing a video game and a NPC called me this. It’s a pre-boomer term as I’ve always known. So, I thought it’d be fun to see who gets close to the definition.
Based entirely on trust-
Without googling it, wtf is a rap scallion?
EDIT: For clarification, I know it means onery and rambunctious youth, but what is it derived from. Like the origin of the term.
One word. Rapscallion.
It’s a general insult, like ‘low life’ or creep’ or ‘sleazoid.’
An untrustworthy knave.
Right, but… origin. How didn’t come to mean that? What does it mean outside of the derogatory?
A scallion is an ocean fairing creature. So… what’s a rapscallion? And why is it bad?
A scallion is a green onion. A scallop is an ocean-faring creature.
This is why one shouldn’t post on social media while on ADHD meds after not sleeping in almost 24.
