Talk:knobby

RFV discussion: May–October 2017
"(British slang) pleasantly small: Do you like my new mobile? / Yes, isn't it knobby?" The only British slang in this area that I'm aware of is knob for penis. Equinox ◑ 23:16, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * This might be regional. It is certainly used in my neck of the woods (Brisol) but I can't find a usage on Google. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:46, 13 May 2017 (UTC)


 * The English Dialect Dictionary has a definition of "knobby" as "rounded, blunt; short and plump, dumpy, stumpy" with a citation of the spelling "nubbie" from Clydesdale ("a wee nubbie, launchin wean") and a citation of the spelling "nubby" from Nottingham ("his finger-end's cut off; so now it's a nubby un"). The second example looks more like nubby, from nub, though. - -sche (discuss) 18:52, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
