Scunter

a dirty or untidy patron at a bar or night-club. Word is a combination of "scummy" and "punter". First used, I believe, by staff at the University of Canterbury Students Union to describe some of the untidy patrons. Was once put on the blackboard at the main entrance to a "stein" (Live gig). It was written "No Scunters" and attracted a lot of questions from curious students.

"Lets not let that scunter in."
"Check those scunters out."
