Meaning of word ‘scrub’

terminology

What does the word 'scrub' mean?

I have seen friends use it in chat and people use it in public games, but I am still confused about the meaning of it, and the uses.

Best Answer

A scrub is a synonym for a bad player rather than a noob/newb (whom is not always a bad player.)

The word is most commonly used by arrogant/aggressive players.

The uses:

  • Be arrogant
  • Think you are better than the rest
  • Rage
  • Contribute to the toxic part of the community
  • Become troll food because you show a ragey nature
  • Or more positive: use it as an obvious joke (hard to do)

For most of the "scrub"users it is the exact opposite of "hacker" (arrogance)

There's not much good about the word so try and refrain from using it.
