1. plural of shroogi 2. Shorog is a class-related term used to refer to the impoverished Shia population residing in southeast Iraq. Initially coined for a group of migrants from eastern Iraq to Baghdad, according to the social historian Hanna Batatu, they were regarded as the lowest strata in Iraqi society, frequently grappling with agrarian serfdom and marginalization by their tribal leaders. 3. In contemporary times, this term is used derogatorily by racists and the affluent to harshly belittle these people, often pointing to those lacking the proper education.
