Ever been called a "grub" before, and not known how to react? Well, hopefully not. But if so, it is a word that is definitely not a compliment. Made famous by the legendary Geoffrey Leonard in his Australia TV YouTube interview, many Americans were left scratching their heads as to what it actually meant.
After doing research through numerous dictionaries, my favorite definitions for grub were:
1) A thick bodied, sluggish larvae of several insect
2) A dull, unkempt plodding person; drudge
3) A person that tries to get things by freeloading
Though none of these describe Geoffrey Leonard very well, (what ONE word can??) definition number two is the one that is most commonly used in Europe, and is the one I have recently been using to describe a surprisingly high number of people.
There are many GRUBS out there, so be on the look out! And feel free to post a picture of your favorite grub in the comment section!
Lastly, NEVER find yourself being a GRUB!
