SCRAGS Meaning and
Definition
-
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. Scrags typically encompass the skeletal structure, such as bones, joints, and cartilage, that tend to be left intact after filleting or cutting the meat for consumption.
Furthermore, scrags can be the lower part of an animal's neck, especially if it is tough or bony. It often refers to the tougher, less tender part of the meat found in the neck or shoulder region of an animal. This cut of meat is often regarded as having more connective tissue and denser muscle fibers, making it suitable for slow cooking methods that help break down the tough collagen, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
In a broader sense, scrags can also be used metaphorically to describe things or individuals that are considered to be rough or scruffy in appearance. 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.

Etymology of SCRAGS
The word "scrags" has a somewhat obscure etymology. It is believed to have originated from the Middle English word "scrage", which meant "rugged stone" or "rocky cliff". This Middle English term likely derived from the Old Norse word "skrá", meaning "a piece cut off". Over time, "scrags" evolved to refer to a rough or jagged piece of something, such as a branch, bone, or uneven terrain. It is mostly used in modern English to describe a bony or thin person, especially in colloquial contexts.
