Definitions by XWayxwardx

(Midwest slang)
A kid who grew up poor or system-raised with little to no supervision, spending most of their childhood outside. Usually dirty, feral, and self-reliant due to absent parents, foster care, or poverty. Not just “played outside” — more like raised themselves.
“We were dirt kids—no parents around, outside all day, figured it out ourselves.”
