An imaginary monkey on your back who messes things up for you. That monkey is your dobro. It is associated with social and physical blunders. Can be used as a noun, adjective or verb.
It is important that whatever the dobro messes up or "dobros" for you must have had a legitimate chance of success. Outright failures and belligerent actions are not dobros, or are not caused by the dobro. As a noun
"I've made peace with my dobro" As a verb Boy: "I set my alarm for PM instead of AM and missed class" Girl: "You dobro'd that" As a adjective Boy: "hey Sally" Girl: "My name is Susan" Boy: "oops, that was dobro" |

this is a resophonic slide guitar played by fingerpicking and a steel bar-slide which puts the tens of millions of standard guitars to shame with its most tremendous sustain and tone. It is often referred to as a "hubcap" guitar due to its appearance. In the presence of a dobro, other guitars shudder and whisper (without much tone): "Dobros pwn us, and we are unworthy of attention!" Holy Moley, that Jerry Douglas must be the Dobro God.
