SCRAGS Meaning and Definition

  1. Scrags is a noun that refers to the remains of a carcass, especially of a slaughtered animal, that include the bony parts. It specifically denotes the portion left after most of the meat has been removed. The term is commonly used in the context of butchery and food preparation.

It often refers to the tougher, less tender part of the meat found in the neck or shoulder region of an animal.

This connotation suggests untidiness or a lack of refinement, often relating to the physical attributes or appearance of a person or object. It conveys a sense of dishevelment or unkemptness.
