Scum Pups

"Scum Pups" is a derogatory term, primarily used in online gaming and internet culture, to describe young or inexperienced players perceived as unskilled, disruptive, or intentionally antagonistic. The term often implies a combination of immaturity, lack of game knowledge, and a tendency to engage in negative behaviors such as griefing, cheating, or excessive trash-talking. It is a pejorative and carries a strong connotation of contempt.

The phrase draws upon the negative connotations of "scum" (implying something worthless or contemptible) and "pups" (implying youth and inexperience). Its usage is intended to be insulting and demeaning.

The term is primarily found in online multiplayer environments, including video games, forums, and social media platforms related to gaming. Due to its offensive nature, its use is often discouraged and may result in warnings or bans from online communities. The term is not considered acceptable in polite or professional contexts.
