Yay! Down to the very last two now in the Blogging From A-Z Challenge and this means that it is the letter ‘Y’s turn! This letter stands tall and proud but is open and yielding. It is not a popular letter for starting words. but I have found one that makes me laugh at the way it sounds, although it is not a very pleasant word. I give you…..

Yob. Yep, short but not sweet. It is a thuggish kind of a word, The group of teenage lads hanging around swigging beer and smashing stuff up for the sheer hell of it. The loutish behaviour at a football match, with groups of rival fans seeing how many people they can beat up.

It is the unruly mob kicking off in town on a Saturday night after a few pints, looking for trouble. It’s the little sod that has keyed your car in the car park. The lowlife that mugs old ladies, or the delinquent who steals anything that isn’t bolted down!

Yobbo can also be used to mean exactly the same, if you prefer the sound of that!
