What are "Gobs"

[Sage Ages]

Anyone notice how it also says that aero kits and spoilers add "gobs of downforce" in the description of tuned cars. What exactly is a gob?

 

[Aquarelle]

Absolutely no idea, however given the context I would imagine they mean "Lots"

Where is that from?

 

[Bopop4]

It means "A lot", no idea where it came from though.

ex: I put a glob of ketchup on my fires.

Why would you put ketchup on fires?

Well, it makes more sense when you change globs to gobs, because that's actually what it says. "...gobs of downforce..." However, what Bopop said is still accurate; it is an expression meaning "a lot".

Everyone knows you dip fries in a Frosty. No ifs, no buts.

I'm pretty sure "gob" is the official unit used by Polyphony Digital. If you've got 30 gobs of downforce over the rear axle, you've got a lot of gobs.

I tried that for the 1st time early last year and I went back again and got a large frosty and 2 large fries and that was my dinner

 

[RS200Freak]

I honestly thought everyone dipped their fries in their shake. Where have all of you been living? Get off the game every once in a while and try new things guys. I wont lie though, now i want some, DAMN YOU INTERNET!!!

 

[Sage Ages]

I hate you guys. There isn't a Wendy's near where I live.

Classic 👍

Fries go well with Coke or Grape Crush too. Like just dip them and let them absorb the soda

It's also a North-England slang term for a mouth.

We use it down south too 👍.

 

[LERK84]

I use it to mean mouth too. & I heard people using it meaning spitting (spitting saliva not rhymes) aswell.

 

[D-Max]

Up in the delightful Scotland we've turned it an say gub (mouth) but I've never, and I mean never, heard it being substituted for a quantity

I had no idea it was so widespread!

It can also mean "policemen". If you've got a cold.

Gobs is just a little more than oodles, which is slightly more than scads but less than a slew.

A gob is somewhere between a mickle and a muckle. As I'm sure you all know, "Many a mickle makes a muckle."
