Scramjet

A SCRamjet, or Supersonic Combustion Ramjet, is a propulsive device with no compressor stage or turbine. Like the ramjet, it compresses incoming air via shock formation and kinetic means as a result of it's own forward speed.

The key difference between a ramjet and scramjet is that the scramjet, as it's name suggests, may combust a fuel/ air mix at supersonic velocity, whereas a ramjet slows and compresses incoming air to subsonic velocity before combustion.

The scramjet is useful in the field of hypersonic propulsion systems.
The United States is experimenting with hypersonics for military means. Air-breathing scramjets are the usual source of propulsion.

Scrumpet

The classic drunk bitch. Never goes to class, sleeps all day, complains about her homework, never does it, takes adderall the two days before finals and tweaks out for 48 hours, fails her finals, then drinks away her sorrows for 3 weeks until she's failing again.
Those rich bitches from the suburbs of Chicago sure are scrumpets. All they do is bitch on Facebook all day about how much work they have to do and how badly they don't want to do it

Jon: Yo, can you believe this scrumpet? If she spent half as much time working as she did bitching, she'd probably be passing. She should probably stop getting so fucked up every night and sleeping all day
