Discard English pickle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrape

'pickle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'discard english' is the wordplay.
'discard' becomes 'scrap' (scrapping is a kind of discarding).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'scrap'+'e'='SCRAPE'

(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Abrade - predicament" , "embarrassing situation" , "Recaps about abrasion" , "Take the surface off" , "Rub; (bow and) be humble" .)
