Re: Hob Knobs

I've also heard hob nob being used when a little group of people are chatting together as in, having a hob nob, no biscuits required.

I think a nob is a also derogatory term for someone you think of an a complete idiot.

Re: Hob Knobs

Hobnob - biscuit yum
Hobnobbing - chatting with others nice
Hob Knob - part of a stove or cooker necessary but not yummy

So 'hob nobbing' with the gentry makes you an idiot - I thought as much ..............
