That at least I can speak to. Apple Scruffs were so named because they were
scruffy looking, as in unkempt (see the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band song: King Of
Scruff for more on this). I doubt that has anything to do with "apple
scrumping," but who knows? Perhaps apple thieves are known for their scruffy
look...
