God (when i say God, i could very well be refering to Allah/Buddha/Beelzebub or whatever deity you feel free to worship) knows what the hell i'm likely to write in my blog...i've never had a blog before, never really felt the need to have a blog - come to think of it, it's only from shear boredom i'm even creating this monster!

It's a bit sad that Steve Irwin is now gone - sure he was a complete naive embarrassing yobbo- but there's a bit of naive embarrassing yobbo in all of us.
Comments:
This is the first time I'm reading/hearing the word "yobbo"...haha I like it, I'll totally use it.
Great blog.
Great blog.
Answers.com:
Today, within Australia, and to a lesser extent New Zealand, the term is used by a subsection of the community to describe themselves. The characteristics of these yobbos are heavy drinking, possibly to the point of alcoholism, low intelligence, fashionably ignorant (usually wearing thongs/sandals and cheap t-shirts and shorts) and usually a fan of Australian football, cricket or V8 Supercars. It is through conduct at these sporting activities that the term has gained connotations of hooliganism.
The term is considered to be an insult by most, but some consider being a yobbo as part of an "authentic" Australian lifestyle. It implies more contempt than the term "Bogan", with which it shares attributes.

^ there's no good definitions out there for it.
Basically every Australian is one - and those who pretend they're not are pretentious fucks :) I meant it more in jest than as a putdown which all of the definitions online seem to be making it - because it's not really a putdown as such, it's more an issue of socioeconomic/education status and dress sense than anything else.
