A scrub is a now generalized term used as a synonym for a "noob" or "newb," which is someone who is bad at a video game or activity in general. Most of the definitions here, surprisingly, have nothing to do with the actual term. The original definition is related to a person who makes a mistake in a video game, which is such a bad mistake that it is clearly wrong, yet they persist in making it. The term derives from Street Fighter II, to describe some players that were so bad that they would mash their hands across the control pad, an act known as "scrubbing," because it relates to scrubbing a car or other object with a sponge. Thus they were deemed "scrubbers," or "scrubs" for short. Over time this term expanded throughout the gaming world, and then the real world, and lost its original meaning.

Apparently it came from some side scroll multiplayer fighting game in which people would mash random buttons (hence the word "scrubbing" controller) to win fights

7 RepliesIt was originally meant that your a Noob/bad player. But now the term means: If you use any weapon in the game, your a scrub If you use any armor, your a scrub If you play the game with a controller, your a scrub. If you have some type of screen to see with, your a scrub. If you play on PC, your a scrub. If you play on console, your a scrub. If you breath, your a scrub.

The term is best applied to someone who keeps making the same mistakes multiple times or doesn't follow simple instructions, but it's now applied in any case where there is an imbalance in gear, grimoire score, K/D ratio, raid completions, etc. I just assume that if someone calls me a "scrub" who has never actually played with me, that they are just an idiot.
