EN: The act of scrubbing (with a brush)
This is the workout you didn't sign up for. It's the intense arm-day session when cleaning the bathroom tiles or scrubbing the kaldero with a week-old tutong. The sound of `pag-iiskoba` is the soundtrack of every Filipino household's general cleaning day.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `iskoba` (scrubbing brush), which is from the Spanish `escoba` (broom). In Filipino, its meaning shifted to a hand-held brush.
Specifically refers to scrubbing with a brush, not just any kind of cleaning.
