Clearly chief. Can you point me in the direction of the post where you tried to make one so I can give it another go?
I’d say you’re in the minority, you can’t go 2 posts in here without hearing the opposite. I’m not saying I like it/use it but that’s the way it is.
You know what the funny thing is? It is that this guy has been here for 2 years. You’d think he’d learn not to make scrubby threads in his tenure, but nooooo.
Oh it’s being used to reference skill level, but isn’t that because it’s being used as a dysphemism? i.e., something is “scrubby” because it is bad, and because it is bad it is something *only a scrub would do, a proper player would know better *etc. It’s just exaggeration. This can be applied in many contexts in a dysphemistic way, actually! If I’m entering a room with the people I play fighting games with I’ll usually lead off with something like “What’s up, scrubs?” regardless of how I feel about their skill levels or their mentalities, but rather because it is just a fun thing to say.
Also, true statement, while skimming over the page I read “thecapsaicinkid” as “thescrubbykid.”
just because lots of people use a word in the certain context, doesn’t mean it changes its meaning.
this thread is dumb and i hope it gets locked
the word scrub can be used in many ways, that’s the cool part of having a community that uses it’s own vernacular.
…
Scrub, in the classical sense, is a mindset. Literally. It is an attitude of unwillingness to accept one’s losses and learn from them. It is not improving because you are clearly the best, therefore when you get blown up, it is none of your own sucking. It is an attitude of being right no matter how wrong.
Every time he came in here to defend his original post, refusing to cede what an utterly crap thread he had made, when numerous people had come in pointing out his error, he illustrated the irony of his stance.
Yeah.
OP is an O.G. scrub.
Do you get it now?
Shall I draw you picture?
Because it really can’t be laid out any more clearly than that.
You are a scrub at inference.
So what’s the point of a word if everyone understands it differently?
The whole point of using words is so that others will understand exactly what you mean.
His thread is legit, but most of the replies so far aren’t, and some people even attack him for it. SRK we da best?
uh, yes it does? do you think there is a committee handing down acceptable definitions of words?
(before someone says “dictionaries”; they describe language as it’s being used by people. there are no new words in dictionaries, only words that were already being used prior to their inclusion.)
Shoryuken and the fighting game community is not “puppies and rainbows”.
This is a gentleman’s club. (with woman included)
People need to understand this.
this thread is silly btw. the OP is making a legitimate point (that people when asked for the definition of “scrub” cite this sirlin-derived definition which is totally divorced from how the vast majority of people use the term, i.e. to mean “a bad player”), and people are assuming there’s some subtext to his making that point that i don’t think there is, nor do i really even understand what people think it is. what exactly is the problem with the OP’s post?
I would add something other to this about linguistics and stuff but meh. Word are allowed to have multiple meanings that vary by context.
The usage of slang dictates its meaning.
If people say scrub and mean scrub, then scrub means scrub.
scrub you!
you can be GDLK and still be a scrub, pr rog did this [media=youtube]_n_d-OtkiJE[/media] whic is super scruby… and salty… and just sad
Oh be quiet, you bundle of sticks, you. 
“Scrub” is how I wash things. So fresh and so clean clean!
Silly scrub.
That’s what we have females for, Eric.

I changed the word “scrub” to “gay” and laughed.
You have the weirdest forehead shape ever.
I managed to get “uy7t” but only by rolling around a little bit.
