Another name for someone who selflessly helps others.
This term originates from the parable told by Jesus in the Bible about a Samaritan (a man from a country called Samaria) who helps out a Jewish man who is ambushed by theives and left to die. This was all the more selfless of an act considering that the Jewish and Samaritan people in those times usually did not associate with each other. This story was told in response to a question concerning the scriptural mandate to "love thy neighbor as thyself". According to the story, a man asked "Who is my neighbor?" and the moral of the parable is that everyone is really your neighbor (meaning you should help anyone you see in need).
Today a Good Samaritan is usually someone who goes out on a limb to help others, even if they are complete strangers.

Ex. An anonymous good Samaritan rescued a child from the river yesterday, but left the area before he could be thanked.

The most vile and unforgiving insult one could possibly utter in the 1800’s. Compared to the modern day “fuck you” or “eat shit”
Excuse me sir, could you spare just a bit of chowder? It’s been a bug to get a meal since the factory up and shut down.
Why don’t you get a job? There will be no hand outs or free bites. Good Afternoon to you sir.
