My brother and I used to play blackjack in Vegas, counted cards and we would talk backwards to each other at the same table to pass info.....as to how many Aces and face cards were left....I MUST BE SLIPPING...WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS ENGLISH TERM!

YOB

The antithesis of what a good boy should be - rude,obnoxious, violent and stupid. Formed by spelling ‘boy’ bacwards, it was coined in England in the 18th century as it was very popular amongst upper classes to speak backwards at the time.
Have you seen that boy? He’s a yob
