What exactly does “yob” stand for?
“with rivals Younger Raving Loonies from an Erith housing estate”
Ahh.... Screaming Lord Sutch’s legacy, I see....
It was a Warner Bros cartoon where an expecting father had a dream in the waiting room that his baby was switch and taken by Aliens. He screams out the window at the saucer “bring back my Yob”. When he wakes, his son has a bracelet on that reads “yob”, boy backwards. That’s All Folks
Per Wikipedia: Yobbo (also Yob), slang term for an uncouth blue collar individual or thug
(I didn’t know either!)
Don't know in Brit-speak but in other languages it might stand for Yellow Obnoxious Bastards.
