I was just in London (will review later) and kept reading in several papers about the YOBS phenonomon. There was no clear explanation in any of the papers of what it actually means but i concluded it was something with Young/Youth who do crime or vandalism or something - could someone please enlighten me?

Yobs are the proper thugs - Ones who would kick your head in either in a group or solo. And like Rob said, yobs have been round for decades.

Chavs on the other hand are pretty new - Decade old or so. And most of them are little shits who are easily scared solo but grow some balls in a group. More likely to threaten you than do anything about it.

Yeah, yobs (aka Yobbos down here in Aussie land) have been around for as long as I can remember... and I'm no spring chicken.

I think (or hope, rather) all the yuppies died out when the dot com bubble burst back in the 90's.
No great loss, imo.

Yuppies died out in the late 80's along with shell suits.

And yes, Yob is a word used back in the 2nd world war to the best of my knowledge.

Jonno :cool:

Yob is simply boy spelled backwards - indicating a young male who acts in a manner different to other lads his age.


Btw, Jonno, Dan recently graduated from chav to yuppie, the rich bar-steward bought 3 pairs of expensive trainers on the same day just last week - so they haven't quite died out yet ;)

:( oh no poor Dan, have his family been told yet?
Maybe as his friends we should try to help him.
