I also thought it was SCOTT Farkus until I finally read the Jean Shepherd stories and started listening to some of his old radio broadcasts. After I learned it was SCUT, I passed the information on to one of my brothers when he referred to the character as SCOTT - he took offense to my correction (as usual) and argued with me about it for about half an hour.

I remember the überjerk in my elementary school was a red-headed terror named "Ransom". Maybe there is something in a name.

Well whata-ya know, I just looked up A CHRISTMAS STORY on imdb.com and sure enough, SCUT Farcus is the character's name. Thanks for learnin' me, fellas.

Thanks for making the connection, I missed that. Also, wasn't Freddy Kruger (and Krug from Last House) also based on a Wes Craven bully?
