1965 G. Melly Owning-up xiv. 172 The word ‘scrubber’ has cropped up quite frequently in this story, and perhaps the time has come to attempt a precise definition of what it means, or rather meant, for I understand that in the beat world it has become debased and now means a prostitute. In our day this was not the case. A scrubber was a girl who slept with a jazzman but for her own satisfaction as much as his.

1968 J. Mitchell Undiscov. Country i. 134 ‘She's only a scrubber.’ ‘A what?’ ‘It's the new word for “short-term sexual partner”.’

1970 G. Greer Female Eunuch 264 The most recent case in which contempt for menial labour has devised a new term of abuse for women is the usage of scrubber for a girl of easy virtue.

1973 ‘B. Mather’ Snowline viii. 95 ‘She looked a scrubber. That means—’ ‘A mare that runs wild in the scrub country, copulating indiscriminately with stray stallions. Derivation Australian, but also applied to women of similar propensities in other parts of English-speaking world.’

1974 H. J. Parker View from Boys 213 Scrubber, used instead of ‘tart’ which has a non-derogatory meaning. ‘A right scrubber’ is a girl who's rough-looking, whore-like.
