Derivative of the word 'cobby', a cob is an individual who shares the idiosyncratic characteristics of the cobby, however, to a lesser extent than the actual cobby himself. Cobs often specialize in one certain aspect of stereotypical cobby behavior. The main difference between a cob and the traditional cobby though, is that a cob is not necessarily a burnout, though often times they can and are percieved to be.

Person B: Why not dude?

Person B: Dude... what a cob!

"He had a right cob on" -- translates: "He was in a bad mood"
This was current in the UK's working-class east London/surrounding counties around 1950s & 60s. I haven't heard it used for many years.
It was always used in the sense of the example. I never heard it used as a verb or adjective

short for the cobweb left - ie those who are stuck with 19th century approaches and/or who mirror the Daily Mail in their slavish adhearence to politically correct terms above and beyond actually engaging with the real world.
You don't want to listen to his opinions, he's a real cob.
I wonder what the cobs will say about that.
