British slang meaning to gossip, blab, or talk loudly and at length about things that aren't your business. To gob off is to let your mouth run without much filter — whether that means spilling someone else's secrets, mouthing off to an authority figure, or just filling dead air with endless chatter. 'Gob' is already British slang for mouth, so 'gobbing off' is essentially the act of letting that mouth run loose.
