Definitions
British slang — particularly common in military and northern English usage — for something that is deeply ugly, disgusting, or visually offensive. Gopping covers the aesthetic and the sanitary: a gopping meal looks as bad as it tastes; a gopping injury is both horrifying and grim; a gopping state describes someone who hasn't washed in days. The word has a blunt, onomatopoeic quality that makes it feel more visceral than 'ugly' alone. It's casual but loaded with genuine disdain.
The communal bathroom at the festival campsite was absolutely gopping by Sunday morning.

- gob off69%
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.
- gobble off67%
Crude British slang for performing fellatio, derived from 'gobble' — to eat greedily or noisily — applied as a vulgar metaphor for oral sex on a penis. The term is blunt and explicit, more likely to appear in adult comedy, explicit fiction, or frank casual conversation than anywhere polite. 'Gobble' has been used as slang for oral sex in British English since at least the mid-twentieth century.
