Something crap & nasty. The worst bit of the lot. The scaffy side.
Liam: "Hey, are we gonna put up this tent then or what?"
Linzi: "Sure.. But I am sleeping in the middle!"
Luke: "Cool.. I will sleep next to you and Liam can sleep on the other side then."
Elliot: "Oh, so where do I sleep then?"
Luke & Liam: "You get the scrag-end down by our feet."

A discarded, finished or almost finished, cigarette butt. Used, probably not often now, when, for example, some one is collecting butts out of a gutter, or off the footpath, or out of an ash tray.
'I'm broke. Been smoking scrag ends all day. You got any fags?'
