Australian slang for an idiot or fool — a dismissive term for someone acting stupidly. It has the blunt, abbreviated quality of Australian insult slang and is used informally without particular venom. The word may derive from 'imbecile' or 'imbo' as a clipped form, or it may be an independent coinage. It carries a similar weight to 'drongo' or 'dill' in Australian usage.
Don't worry about what that imbo said — he doesn't know what he's talking about.
