Etymology

The term 'gob' originates from the Old English word 'gobbe', which means 'a lump or mass'. Historically, this word evolved in informal British English to take on the meaning of spitting or ejecting saliva forcefully. The term gained popularity in British slang during the 20th century, particularly among the working class. It is often employed to express disdain, contempt, or to indicate a lack of respect towards something or someone. Over time, 'gob' has found its way into various forms of media, including music and literature, further solidifying its position in colloquial speech.
