Definition
Plural of carpetbagger; multiple people who seek to profit from a place or community where they are outsiders.
Etymology
Simple plural formed by adding '-s' to carpetbagger, which itself derives from the historical carpetbag used by Northern opportunists.
Kelly Says
Southern states had such bitter memories of carpetbaggers that the word remained a serious insult for over a century—it became woven into regional identity!
