British slang meaning a lout, hooligan, obnoxious drunk, or British tourist abroad.

But would it be the same thing in this context? I mean, Flora said that yobs were "bigger than Nick." Is this another one of those pixy-culture things?

Huh. I didn't know yob was a British slang word. Learn something new every day... Thanks for the info Reinder.

Uh, yes I am thinking of it in reference to pixy culture. As to exactly what it is, let me quote from a certain webcomic called Narbonic.

"Heh. Heh. Heh."
-Alpha Narbon

Hm? Yessss. I beleive that will do very nicely in this case.

Heh.

Heh.

Heh...

She's plotting something I tell you! She's got those shifty eyes.

In the mean time, you can start guessing what a fuman is...

It's obvious a human! Or maybe a drunken hobo!

Um, hehe, I may have been living under a rock. What's Narbonic?

Not quite. The word will show up in ROCR in about a month's time. There's a parallel with a word that exists in real-life American English, referring to (mostly) kids who use phrases like "Yo!" and "Y'know what I'm sayin'?" a lot. This real-life word is a combination of two words, one of which is very offensive, but the combination, apparently, is not. Go figure.

Would that happen to be "wigger"?

It would, and now you're one step closer to answering the question:)
