RFV 2[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

RFV 2[edit]

Regarding the RFV above, this sense can easily be seen in words like clubrat and hoodrat, and possibly also mall rat. Leasnam (talk) 05:05, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

French. Rfv-sense scrooch is a verb - the header is for noun. Leasnam (talk) 22:59, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just realised - is this supposed to mean scrooge ? "crook" escroc ? Leasnam (talk) 23:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think so. The French Wiktionary gives a sense individu radin – “stingy person”.  --Lambiam 21:03, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
