    In the light of the lamp the two girls studied each other closely. And the sacks of corn and maize, old bits of disused machines, and flotsam and jetsam of farming implements... were all forgotten and unseen. They saw only each other (P. Abrahams). The flotsam and jetsam that tourists bring back from their travels

   2) люди, пoтepпeвшиe кpушeниe в жизни; бeздoмныe бpoдяги; oтpeбьe

    A single two-arm gas-pipe descended from the center of the ceiling. It was permeated by a peculiarly stale and pungent odor, obviously redolent of all the flotsam and jetsam of life - criminal and innocent - that had stood or sat in here from time to time, waiting patiently to learn what a deliberating fate held in store (Th. Dreiser)
