Scrub a dub dub

Hi Peeps hows it going stiff upper lip, could be a stiff something else but a stiff upper lip will do for. Hope you are staying safe as I look forward to sharing some stories with you. I thought; as the weather is changeable at the moment I would sort out my closet especially my drawers A bit of House work of course.


House work is so easy now compared to the days of scrubbing on your hands and knees (I believe men rather liked watching this kind of housework) of course these ladies were called scrubbers, there is a very different meaning describing scrubbers as time went on let me explain. SCRUBBER is probably of British origin, used as a derogatory term to describe scullery maids or other low-ranking women in domestic service.

These were often young women viewed by higher-ranking people as licentious and dirty (particularly their hands). Due to the lack of occupations for women in the 19th and early 20th century women usually were forced to work in service or as prostitutes, and many had dealings with both. The actual term scrubber may refer either to her occupation of scouring floors, or to the actual implement used to clean the floor - the scrubbing brush SCRUBBER A young woman of ill-repute whose parted legs are constantly in the company of men. Considered by some to be the junior version of the slapper her dress code is risqué and her mannerisms are ungracefully common. As a result of her laid back - lifestyle she very rarely is able to hold down a full-time job and relies on funding from then-boyfriends to survive.

This financial hardship means she is forced to cut back on luxuries such as soap, although she still manages to afford the necessities of booze and cigarettes. On occasion when she does hold down a full-time job she will rarely curb her natural habits and is likely to be very famous among her co-workers for being a slut.

Kitty: I may not scrub the floor but I can get down on my knees xx
