          Someone willing to take a striking workers job because they couldnt have got the job otherwise.They care about no-one but themselves,have allegiance to no-one,including who they work for, and cannot see long term. They will take almost any abuse from their employer, and dont give a whit about their fellow workers.This is the true makeup of a scab.

                  Someone who spends their life with their hand out, expecting the rest of us to provide for them. In a village scenario, scabs are cooked and eaten, or just cooked and thrown to the dogs. In a modern day scenario, scabs are looked after by the government. They spend their days wasting the hard earned tax dollars of real people, filling their bodies with food that would be better used for feeding the dogs, throwing in a food fight, or just left outside to rot.
                  A scab thinks the world owes them a living and will never lift a finger to look for work. Much to the disgust of the rest of us, the scab will still join in discussions about how the country should be run, even though they are but a scab formed from the wound of the welfare system, bleeding money out of the fund needed to fix the roads that scabs complain about on their way to the welfare office.
                  A person genuinely in need of welfare is not a scab, until they are able to work but choose not to because its easier to sit around all day and complain that their lives suck. A scab is fairly low, but a considerable step up from a [rabbit scab]
