pobbies

(British, colloquial, of a person) Who enjoys frequenting public houses.

(UK, slang) A special constable.

A cheerful, childlike British-Irish term for holidays or vacation time. The '-bobs' suffix adds a playful, diminutive quality that makes the word sound like something a toddler might say — which is precisely why adults use it ironically or affectionately. It shows up constantly on British social media when people announce they're going on holiday, conveying that mix of excitement and self-aware goofiness that defines a lot of British internet humour.

(British) The practice of frequenting pubs.

(US, military, slang) Snacks, candy, and similar food items that are not generally available to soldiers in the field.
