"Bludger" is a British and Australian slang term dating back to the late 19th–early 20th century, originally meaning someone who lives by taking from others rather than working. It likely comes from "bludging," an older slang verb meaning to loaf or avoid labor, possibly linked to the idea of "bludgeon" as taking forcefully. The term has been widely used in Australia, Britain, and former British colonies to describe lazy people, shirkers, or freeloaders. It is derogatory, often applied in informal speech or social criticism, but not deeply offensive—more a sharp way to call someone idle or parasitic.
