(1) Anyone who scavenged, scabbed crisps/cigarettes etc, or was dressed poorly. Even if they weren't particularly badly dressed they could still be called a tramp if they were unpopular, and of course their mother/father/brother/sister might be a tramp too. (2) An out of work individual who wandered, literally 'tramped' from town to town living off their wits and anything they could steal or beg. Often did handyman jobs in exchange for food. Post WW2 were often ex-servicemen who were suffering post traumatic stress syndrome, but as the condition wasn't understood as well was never diagnised or dealt with properly. Note: not to be confused with the American definition of 'tramp' which is a female who has the sort of liberated sexual attitudes that men object to, whilst taking advantage of, at any given opportunity.

A term of general abuse. Although a precise definition is elusive, it was clear from the term's daily usage in my school that the meaning was both specific and insulting. It was essential that the phrase 'you wedgy kegger' was uttered in a shrill, nasal tone, and it was broadly understood to have something to do with smelly pants, perhaps originating from the separate slang phrases 'kegs', meaning pants, and 'wedgies', i.e. the practice of yanking said pants right up the crack of one's unsuspecting victim.
A playground taunt in the form of a song sung to the tune of the "conga" i.e. "Let's all go to Tesco's Where [Johnny, Marky, whatever] gets his best clothes, a la la la, a la la la! Taunt implies the tauntees parents couldn't afford 'swish' stuff. Note: for those outside the UK that don't know, Tesco's is a huge supermarket chain which was at one time "famous" for selling cheap imported clothing of dubious quality. As an aside, I always understood that the company had been named after the founders wife - Tess Cohen, but from another source (Michael Oliver) I learn it was in fact created from a combination of TES (from T.E. Stockwell, Cohen's partner) and CO (from CO-hen)). You live and learn!

An Indian male who dressed and lived entirely as a woman, fulfilling a cultural role within the tribe. Sometimes called in Indian languages a "would be woman" and sometimes thought of as a third sex. Common among the tribes of the Americas, these men-women had social and religious powers. They might be givers of sacred names; leaders of ceremonial dances; visionaries and predictors of the future; matchmakers; etc. Understood as following a vision by most Indians, they were not tolerated by whites.

Often defined in statutes and judicial decisions as "the crime against nature." In the common law the felony offense of sodomy was understood to include noncoital copulation by a man with a man, or with a woman or beast. However, by the 19th century the term was generally deemed to mean specifically male-homosexual acts. Until then it was punishable by death in England. Severe penalties, even including life imprisonment, are still prescribed, although rarely carried out, in some U. S. jurisdictions.
