It is a slang term for scrotum, but used in a derogatory way for when you are pissed off at a man, for whatever reason. Used as, "Give me back my tampon, you friggin scrote!", or "My stepson is such a scrote.", or "That big, hairy scrote is tailgating me in his big scrotemobile!", and "Don't be a scrote; give me a ride to school?". In most cases, this term refers to a man, but can be used for a manish woman. Contributor first heard this term a few years ago when her friend was mad at her step son and called him a "Scrote". She laughed so hard that she almost fell out of my chair and has been using the term ever since! Her female friends in Germany and Austria are using this term now, since she told them about it. They love it because they can insult their male friends and the male friends don't have a clue as to what a scrote is!

groat

groat

an old silver four-penny coin from around 1300 and in use in similar form until c.1662, although Brewer states in his late 1800s revised edition of his 1870 dictionary of slang that 'the modern groat was introduced in 1835, and withdrawn in 1887', which is somewhat confusing. Presumably there were different versions and issues of the groat coin, which seems to have been present in the coinage from the 14th to the 19th centuries. Very occasionally older people, students of English or History, etc., refer to loose change of a small amount of coin money as groats. Sadly the word is almost obsolete now, although the groat coin is kept alive in Maundy Money. The word derives from Middle English and Middle Dutch 'groot' meaning 'great' since this coin was a big one, compared to a penny. The similar German and Austrian coin was the 'Groschen', equivalent to 10 'Pfennigs'. The word can actually be traced back to Roman times, when a 'Denarius Grossus' was a 'thick penny' (equivalent).
