"scanger" meaning in English

{
  "etymology_text": "According to A Dictionary of Hiberno-English:\n: \"Much of the influence comes from London where the origins of the word 'skanger' can be found. I'm pretty certain this is a collapsed form of the word \"scavenger\" from a West Indian word used by the Caribbean community in London.\"\nDolan's dictionary gives the West Indian slang word \"skanker\", meaning an untrustworthy or unreliable person, as a possible source of the word.\nOriginally, in 1980s Dublin, it referred only to women but has become broadened to men in recent years.",
