Originally it was a derogatory term used by Basra's people to refer to the gypsies and the swamps people, but it has become well-know in all of Iraq and Kurdistan after the 70's.

is a slur in the Iraqi dialect of Arabic which means scum people with uncivilized or malicious behaviour, and most of them are involved in terrorist militias, drug trafficking and illegal activities such as oil smuggling, they are known as thieves, Arabs are not allowed to mate with them because of their inferior genes or something like that.

shroogs cannot create a civilized place. They pollute every spot they set foot in like a virus.

They are also hated by Iraqis because of their bad behavior and their ugly appearance.

It's part of their culture to not be functioning members of society, hence they cannot be assimilated, Lower caste shroogs live off welfare for their 15 children, stealing or begging.

Higher cast shroogs engage in organized crime, and they are mostly pimps or prostitution.

It is not uncommon for shroogs to split into clans and kill each other in broad daylight, much to the dismay of police officers who cannot contain their autistic shitflinging.

Shroogs have no sense of fashion nor taste in music and no eye for beauty. They indulge in kitsch of the highest order for example, Zuhair Al-Atwani's videos which became internationally known memes.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”
