well im a 15 year old kid so im not really shure, but i think it was a insult. Somone would call you a scaber if you are "lucky" in a way its hard to explain

A scab was someone who ignored a call to strike and continued to work. Scabs were unpopular with strikers since they diluted the effects of a strike. The term is still used derogoratively today in the same context.
