Dobbers

[03robinb]

Don't you just hate it whe people grass you up.

[Noseypoo]

??? Care to explain?

[03robinb]

i don't understand your signature!

[Justawoman]

Yeppers, you are going to have to define a dobber and a person who grasses you up. I thought a dobber was type of hornet or wasp. Mud Dobber is what came to my mind.

[jamesglewisf]

Another clueless Texan didn't know what he meant either.

[jaimegerise]

I'm pretty clueless too...heh

[03robinb]

i mean when someone tells on you.

[Justawoman]

I try not to do anything that would me being snitched on. No my girls might say yeah they hate that.

[asnchic]

Depends on what for.

If you're doing things you don't need to be doing I.e. illegal...

[jamesglewisf]

OK. What does "dobbers" mean?

[Justawoman]

Basically it is a tattletale, snitch, etc.... what I got out of the definition anyway.

[jamesglewisf]

I thought that was the definition of "grass you up."

[Justawoman]

I'm thinkin (my redneckedness showing again.....hehehehehe) that grass you up is the actual act of doing the dobbing by a dobber.

Geez keep this up and I might confuse myself!!!

[03robinb]

sorry if i coonfused you.
i meant when someone goes and tells someone about what you have been doing and you get in trouble.

[dreuby]

So what did you do? Or are you too ashamed to tell? {anon} I hope we won't have to send you to your room ... {yikes}

[03robinb]

i apparently dropped a cup and left it on the floor.

i got a litter pick for a month!

[Justawoman]

This was at home or school??? Either way that just shows how lazy other people are. Someone could have picked up and just thrown it away.

[03robinb]

school.

your right, people ought to be more thoughtful and less lazy.

[JacMac]

I am so confused. Now don't forget, people, I'm a "northern gal", I don't understand these terms! What is a dobber? What is the Grassing you up? If the Grassing up is the slang for telling on you, what is a dobber? a person who does the telling? like a tattletale?

[03robinb]

yep, more or less.
maybe you're confused cause a dobber is a english slang word.

[JacMac]

I thought it was english slang...I noticed your location on the left part of the screen.
