But what if it's a vocal dub? As in U2 - New Years Dub (Ferry Corsten Extended Vocal Dub)? Hahahahaha!

A dub is where elements of the song are removed and/or modified to simplify it. This generally means that the vocals are removed, but not always.

The word "dub" in electronic music comes from the "dub-plate" that was used in reggae music and was essentially a pressing of a stripped back version of the music that would be released.

I think many dub-plates were originally used as "test-pressings" (to test normalisation, sound quality etc. when pressed onto vinyl) which we now call either "test-pressings" like I said, or "acetate" (the material used to press these test recordings). Of course, eventually, these dub-plates became a legitimate form of music in themselves and these days when we hear the word "dub" it basically means a track with a lot of the main elements stripped back, giving the track a "minimal" feeling.

Could be wrong on some of these points, but I'm pretty sure that's how it all came about.

99% of the time it's removal of the vocal element.

Well...you could type in things that have to deal with it, similar questions like : "What Difference Remix". Selecting just to look at the topic names, and just in the music discussion forum helps.

Use your head
