day scrag


Day scholar at a mixed boarding and day school (1960s Melbourne): What would she know? She's only a day scrag. I'm allowed out on Sunday to go to a day scrag's house.

Contributor's comments: When I attended an Adelaide Catholic school as a day scholar in the 1970s, the boarders called us "day scrags", "scrags" for short.
