Scrubbed 

A commonly used Northern Irish term meaning to be hit by a vehicle. It is mostly used as the past-tense of 'scrub' which can be used as a verb or a noun.

Our variation of the word 'scrub' is more akin to the act of washing (scrubbing) than the millenial definition of scrub which has no real definition and can be used to refer to anyone and anything.

Scrub as a verb.

/skrʌb/
1. To hit (someone or something) with a vehicle.

Scrub as a noun.
1. Scrubbing (someone or something) with your vehicle.
