skiprat

One who burrows through the discarded debris in a skip, looking for items which may still be of value and/or useful to said skiprat. Much like a modern day Womble. Needless to say, such activity is viewed as "a bit pikey" by the average man on the street, who prefers his kitchen sink to come from a more reputable source.

Shouted from a moving vehicle: "SKIPRAT!"

skiprat

the Britsh equivalent to American 'trailer trash'
a skiprat is someone who lives off of favours from other people, never getting anywhere in life on their own, they are those who think the world owes them a living, all take and no give.

skiprat - can i borrow (x), can you give me a lift, can you lend me money and they never offer as much as a thank you or return favours

skiprat

(UK)
Derogative term sometimes used by the oppressive to slander an individual who finds benefit in recycling.

A 'skiprat' walks past a skip at the side of the kerb.

He/she notices somthing they may find useful in thier everday life. For example a piece up ducting that can be used to vent the heat in thier PC by venting circulated airflow to the outside of thier home via a fan system.

Onlookers do not see the reasoning behind the percieved 'theft' of what is essentially a bit of rubbish that will be buried somewhere and add to landfills. So the game begins, the slander starts and the potential for violence in this situation is initiated.
