A generally non-offensive term used in some punk communities to describe a friend or aquaintance, possibly but not necessarily a traveler, staying in one's home without paying rent. A good scumbag often contributes (monetarily or with food, music, or company) to the house where they are staying and usually does not stay with the same people for an extended period of time.
Not to be confused with scumfucks (see also: oogles), who are scumbags that steal your money, smoke your cigarettes, drink your alcohol, and break bottles over heads fairly indiscriminately.

In its original context, scumbag referred to a condom or "rubber." To call someone a scumbag was therefore considered a real putdown, meaning vile or worthless.
Overuse of the word in that context has virtually changed its meaning.
