Allow me to rubbish your claim. It's a common use.

"To rubbish" is a very common verb, at least in British English.

It's the UK equivalent of the US "trashing".
"v. [with obj.] Brit. informal criticize severely and reject as worthless: 'he has pointedly rubbished professional estimates of the development and running costs.'" New Oxford American Dictionary (2010).
