Someone who spends their life with their hand out, expecting the rest of us to provide for them. In a village scenario, scabs are cooked and eaten, or just cooked and thrown to the dogs. In a modern day scenario, scabs are looked after by the government. They spend their days wasting the hard earned tax dollars of real people, filling their bodies with food that would be better used for feeding the dogs, throwing in a food fight, or just left outside to rot.
A scab thinks the world owe's them a living and will never lift a finger to look for work. Much to the disgust of the rest of us, the scab will still join in discussions about how the country should be run, even though they are but a scab formed from the wound of the welfare system, bleeding money out of the fund needed to fix the roads that scabs complain about on their way to the welfare office.

A person genuinely in need of welfare is not a scab, until they are able to work but choose not to because it's easier to sit around all day and complain that their lives suck. A scab is fairly low, but a considerable step up from a rabbit scab
Scab: 'Man, life is so hard, I have to wait till pay day to get some KFC and a new game to play'

What most people say: 'Yea, that sux man...'

What people should say: 'Fuck up scab. It's not 'pay day' for you, it's 'hand out day'. Get off your scab ass and contribute to society so I don't have to see you wasting my tax dollars on entertaining your worthless scab mind.
