Scabs, dregs… its like I’m in Warhammer 40k. You guys play Darktide?
If not: a question from non-native speaker: are scabs and dregs a, more or less, common expression/term in English?
I’m just trying to escape the trap when you notice something, you start seeing it all around.
Whenever there’s a strike, scab is a very common word. I don’t see dregs as much, but it’s not super uncommon either. In case you don’t know, a scab in this context is someone who is hired to replace people who are on strike and dregs are the most worthless part of something.
