Scrubbing

[Skruh-bing]

Scrubbing is a slang word that refers to quickly searching through digital content, like social media posts or online profiles, to find specific information or updates about someone or something.

While ‘scrubbing’ through content, you actively scan for relevant details rather than casually browsing.

For instance, you might hear someone say, ‘I was scrubbing through her Twitter feed to find out what she’s been up to lately.’ Here, ‘scrubbing’ implies a focused and deliberate search for specific updates or insights. It’s a common term in informal conversations, especially among younger generations.
