 * Antisocial personality disorder perhaps? Proteus (Talk) 12:50, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

No, I'd say delete it. I'm the one who put in on wikipedia, but I didn't mean to. I was working on wikitionary and didn't realize I had switched back to wikipedia CGP 12:59, 2004 Jun 25 (UTC)

What about a redirect to Thuggee? It's kind of relative. Or you could redirect to Boy which is (as far as I know) where the word 'yob' came from (it's boy backwards). -- Graham &#9786; | Talk 16:14, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * Perhaps there should be an article about yobs, neds, and other subspecies of insular hooligans, and their contributions to local colour and culture in the misty isles. Living, as I do, on a vast continent, I'm not sure which word is the most general; that's probably where the article should be.  Smerdis of Tlön 16:32, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * There it is; we have an article for hooliganism. That sounds as good a place as any to redirect yob to.  And ned, for that matter, which currently redirects to Ned Flanders, a character from The Simpsons.  Smerdis of Tlön 18:30, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * First, there was "eep." Now, we have "yob."  If it's a real term, move to Wiktionary.  Eep. - Lucky 6.9 17:56, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's real, common in England & probably some other Commonwealth countries. Move to Wiktionary (along with synonym "yobbo") and both words should be redirected to hooliganism. -- Jmabel 19:24, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * Ah, I've heard of "yobbo" and have used it myself. Move content to Wiktionary, make into redirects here. - Lucky 6.9 21:42, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to hooliganism. -Sean Curtin 22:37, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
