@chai2,
scrappy - reminds me of my daughter playing travel softball last summer - she gets up for her second at bat (she was the youngest to make the team) - and the coach on the other side said "Watch out for her, she's scrappy!"
After the game, I asked if she heard that - she said yes, but didn't know what it meant so she wasn't happy about it. I explained what it meant and after that she wore that scrappy title with pride!
