What does "yobbish" mean and where does it come from? (I am very aware of dialects, but I only just ran across this one.) Brit/Oz members, ideas about this? Thanks, 73 Jan N0AAA #389


Well in Australia Jan, a "Yobbo" is usually an uncouth youth with little in the brain department. Most girls detest them.


Hope that helps a little.

BTW - Most Australian women are thoroughly convinced EVERY Oz male retains some 
traces of his "Yobboism" from his misguided youth....
