shabaroon (plural shabaroons)

  1. (obsolete) An unkempt, disreputable person.
    • 1982, Julian May, The Golden Torc:
      The only persons who could be classed as shabaroons were the peddlers in the open market, the caravan drovers, and travelers newly arrived from the hinterlands; even these seemed only temporarily grubby.
