Cagotes
Definition
Cagotes: A niche slang term in hip-hop, derived from the historical 'Cagots,' a medieval outcast group in southwest France and northern Spain treated as untouchables due to superstition (not actual leprosy). Used metaphorically for social rejects, haters, snitches, or marginalized foes shunned by the crew, emphasizing exclusion and low status in street or rap culture.
