A regular -s plural that gathers very different people under one word. In Australian, British and New Zealand workplaces, casuals are staff hired occasionally rather than permanently. Soldiers passing through a post on the way elsewhere are casuals too. Two UK uses are historical: designer-clad football hooligans and vagrants of the parish casual ward. For players of casual games it is derogatory, so context decides whether the word is neutral or a jab.
