What are "Gobs"

[trackripper123]

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

SI units. True fact.

I'm gobsmacked by the question " what are gobs ? " What about gob stopper ?

or this

Seems gob tend to mean "mouth" Not sure about the car

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.

Soo good I thought it was NM thing LOL

That's funny Rido because I was thinking about exactly the same thing earlier today.

And a "tad" less than a "Lump some" .

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

No it's slang for wife

Wife..mouth, its all the same.

 

[sporkafife]

Yeah, 'gob' is a British colloquialism for mouth So if I have a "gob-full" of ice cream, I have filled my mouth with ice cream.

So gob-fulls of anything means lots and lots in one big go

In the description of the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG '08 is this:

"The suspension and brakes were thoroughly reworked to handle the extra power, which resulted in a slightly stiffer ride, but provided gobs of grip through the corners"

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?

To be 'exact' is to view it in the proper context - or else it becomes merely a metaphor riddled with cultural minutiae.

To 'gobble' is to force down large quantities - so when you down with force large quantities (or 'gobfuls' - as has been explained previously 'gob' means 'mouth' - the opening we gobble stuff with) then it can be said that you have gobs of downforce.

Puking is the opposite of this - and can end in a throw up.

 

[The guy who did]

Why would you put ketchup on fires?

Did anyone else notice the typo?

To be precise, 'gobs' simply means 'a large quantity' in this context.

Did anyone else notice the typo?

Yes, I did from post #4. That's why I said what you quoted and put the smilie that I did.

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

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

If you're going to blame somebody for a typo, blame the right person. I don't know how you missed that post with the original typo when it was right above mine. And I even bolded it too.
