A ruffian or scoundrel.[Of unknown origin.]
In Shakespeare's Henry IV, Falstaff exclaims, "Away, you scullion! you rampallion! You fustilarian! I'll tickle your catastrophe." A scullion is a kitchen servant or one who does menial work. Fustilarian is a synonym of yesterday's term fustilugs (a fat and slovenly person).
"[Justin] asked, 'Why do you say that? The rampallion admitted he was to blame.'"
