cub

noun

1. Initialism of cashed-up bogan.

verb

Etymology: From earlier cubbe. Origin unknown. According to Pokorny, from Proto-Germanic *kubb-, from Proto-Indo-European *gup- (“round object, knoll”), from *gew- (“to bend, curve, arch, vault”). Compare Icelandic and Old Norse kobbi (“seal”), Old Irish cuib (“whelp”). Compare also English cob. Originally, the meaning was specifically "young fox", in which sense it has largely replaced English whelp.

1. To give birth to cubs.
2. To hunt fox cubs.

   “He knew that, only a few hours from London, the Hunt was cubbing over his ancestral and much-mortgaged acres, while his own horse ate its head off in a stable.”

3. To shut up or confine.

   “to fall from heaven to hell, to be cubbed up upon a sudden”
