52 Aussie, we used scrag. It really was a horrible insult…
I think bubba001 has hit the nail on the head, ugly welds means scrag to clean up.
Oh you Americans leaving out letters again…
Don’t forget slag…
48, also in ID where I grew up, only ever heard it while living in KS.
Same as Chopper, the implication was older or perhaps a junkie. “Lotta miles/tracks on that skag”
Skaggs was a grocery? Drug store? Can’t quite recall it’s been so long since they went out of business.
Damn, they did this in front of you? I had never in my life seen my parents touch each other in any way.
58 years old here! Yes; remember hearing “scag” in grade school, mid 70’s NE Ohio, used by a hip kid, asked my ma what it meant, she thought it was some nonsense word the kids made up. Was used in the context of an undesirable girl. Years later “mid 90’s,” heard my grandchildren referring to a girl as a “skank,” was a stronger connotation then the earlier “skag,” not only was it a reference to an undesirable girl bot one that was nasty and loose as well. So I recon skank is more offensive urban slang. However: scag is still in usage, and not just as a dope reference, recently heard Quagmire use it on an episode of family guy!
Really? Seems pretty normal for me as a child and later being a parent.
Moderating.
Do we really need to restart a zombie over nasty names for women? Closed thread.
