A Scham guy would be described as someone who wears cut off jean shorts, has feathered hair parted in the middle drives a trans-am and keeps a comb in his back pocket. A Scham is more than likely to have some kind of pube-stache. A Scham girl is named Tammy with poofy bleached hair-spray hair, wears thick blue eye liner. A Scham is not necessarily from Schamburg it was basically just a term to describe white trash.
