Currently playing a video game and a NPC called me this. It’s a pre-boomer term as I’ve always known. So, I thought it’d be fun to see who gets close to the definition.

Based entirely on trust-

Without googling it, wtf is a rap scallion?

EDIT: For clarification, I know it means onery and rambunctious youth, but what is it derived from. Like the origin of the term.

    I’m almost certain it’s a fancification of the word rascal. Like some dude in 1750 said ‘what’s rascal short for?’ and his quick witted friend said rapscallion and yada yada now it’s a word.
