Scraper vs. Donk/Box/Bubble

Is there an actual difference between scrapers and hi-risers, aside from geography?

They both appear to be (usually) GM sedans with colorful paintjobs and large diameter wheels. Do scrapers usually get suspension lifts like hi-risers do?

Also, why are they called "scrapers?" Sky scraper? Scraping the underside of a vehicle?
