Definition from the region of Northern California.
Many definitions are correct especially being a skater/surfer term but where I grew up late 90'
s to 2000's it meant:
1) Dirty hippie kid who wore really baggy clothing and was always stoned.
2) Smelly hippie (usually white kid) with dreadlocks who didn'
t do anything but skate and smoke. Most likely on the lower end of the social ladder.
3) A straight
bum who was burnt out. An offensive word if you had your shit together.
