Definition:

Non-essential corporate contributor. The Skurb occupies a negligible, dispensable position in a corporate office.

When they are not making copies, arranging meetings, entering data, or acting as de facto stenographer at meetings, the Skurb shirks in his cubicle. (see: v., to shirk) Generally, Skurbs avoid eye contact. Skurbs are usually 1 – 3 years out of college. A Skurb works in a cubicle, often shared with other Skurbs of equal or lesser stature.

Snobby urbanites, especially those recent haughty urban dwellers who were raised in suburbs, small towns or rural areas. A snurb's childhood was usually somewhat idyllic or quaint. However, when returning to their hometown to visit or for the holidays, a snurb will frequently and sanctimoniously point out how "this particular situation or occurrence" never happens in "this big city," or that people in "this big city" never do "this." Thanks to its humbler origins, a snurb usually identifies itself as being too down to earth to be a hipster, making them even more annoying when they pontificate about the virtues of their adopted metropolis.
Snurbs: "Wow, we can't believe people still (insert) here."

Friends and Family: "Bitch, you only moved to San Francisco a year ago."
