This joke- like sedimentary rock, has layers.
Misdirect FTMFW!
A person of low character.
a knave
It's a type of onion that was especially stinky and hard to cook with, then it turned into an insult for rambunctious youth
This actually sounds true.
A rake, a knave, a cur, a lout, a scoundrel.
As far as etymology, it's derived from "rascallion", the long form of "rascal", which itself is derived from the French term "rascaille", which refers to a mob.
A rogue, a ne'er do well, a persona non grata
A bounder, a cad
A hoodlum
Roustabout rambler.
it's a green onion, with flow.
A green onion that desperately wants to be red.
A dastardly sort of fellow
A scallion, skilled in freestyle hip-hop
Lil' Skallion, Skallionaire gang
The notorious Sca.lli.on.
Not to be confused with his cousin who smokes, the Rasp Ska lion
I got called this by an old guy back when i was a kid in the 90s. Im assuming it means cunt or something like that
Edit: Im in australia, everything means cunt at some point
LMAO!
Well, I'm pretty sure it's just one word for starters.
I've always read 'rapscallion' as a sort of youthful miscreant: an almost gender-neutral mildly negative label applied to a person lacking the wisdom of age who is engaged with some slightly rebellious activity.
The word died about the time of ww2, when most of those erstwhile rapscallions became war veterans or casualties.
Those rapscallions veterans would go on to accuse the the next generation of rapscallions of being punks.
Edit: Just checked if YouTube had a supercut of WIlliam Shatner's TJ Hooker calling kids "punk"", but alas: nothing.

He's the vegan in a trio with the Rhymenoceros and the Hiphopopotamus.
Their lyrics are bottomless.
A knave.
There was a travelling circus that had a lion, and during its performances they noticed it did much better if they played certain kinds of music. This lion was into rap and ska, so they called it rap-ska-lion and rapscallion describes its personality.

A cheeky fucker
I'm almost certain it's a fancification of the word rascal. Like some dude in 1750 said 'what's rascal short for?' and his quick witted friend said rapscallion and yada yada now it's a word.
A step above a skallywag.

One word. Rapscallion.
It's a general insult, like 'low life' or creep' or 'sleazoid.'
An untrustworthy knave.
