Thanks for your explanation tealeaf. Now I know why on occasion someone would say to me, “Don’t be a gobbin.” I suspected that it meant something like fool or numbskull but couldn’t ask in case someone called me a right gobbin.

But if we called those who lived beyond the lamp Gobbins, I wonder what they called us?
