What does scrap mean in slang? In slang, scrap has two main meanings. First, as a verb or noun, scrap means a fight, often a physical fight or heated argument. For example, to get into a scrap means to get into a fight, he is a scrapper means he is a fighter, and you wanna scrap? means do you want to fight? This usage is common in US and UK informal speech, schoolyards, and combat sports. Second, as a verb, to scrap means to discard, cancel, or abandon something, as in scrap the plan means cancel the plan, or scrap that idea. As a noun, a scrap can mean a small fragment, like a scrap of paper, or leftover waste, like metal scrap. In some contexts, scrap can also mean food leftovers. It is different from scrape, which medically means an abrasion wound from friction. The similarity in sound causes confusion. In slang, scrap is never used to describe a medical wound, while scrape is. If someone says lets scrap, they mean lets fight or lets throw away, depending on context, so tone and situation determine meaning.
