Top definition
A term used to define all races, colors and creeds of a group of people over the age of 60 who tend to roam around super markets, more often than not at Market Basket -- or "The Basket" -- a New England super market chain, at such an amazingly slow pace that it is hard to comprehend. In addition, while they are roaming, they have no fucking clue what the hell they came to the store to buy and thus look at every item on the shelves in a side to side, or up and down manner making their nose -- or beak -- very amusing to watch, especially when in packs. The term scissor comes from what these people need to use to clip the hairs in their beaks.
Otis - "I can't believe how many scissor beaks were congregating at the checkout line at The Basket this morning."
