dirtbags
Despicable, worthless people
Dirtbags are people considered worthless, contemptible, or morally low—roughly synonymous with scumbags or lowlifes: Those dirtbags stole my bike.
The term suggests someone grimy in character, not just behavior.
In outdoor and climbing culture, dirtbag has been reclaimed to describe someone who lives cheaply and unconventionally to pursue their passion: She spent three years as a dirtbag climber, living out of her van.
