3 definitions by Council of the Bean
An acronym for "Council of the Bean", Cob refers to any willing group of people who regularly meet with a purpose, in any local coffee-house of their choosing. (*Costa excluded)
Traditional Cob rituals included member aliases, which include their real name, and an alliterative prefix/suffix which is coffee-house related, replacing the coffee-house and caffeine with a club and some alcohol at least once a month, and having the designated driver veer off the road at least twice on the way home from Cob. New members are initiated with a piping hot double espresso, while members who wish to be stricken from the Council list must ingest two spoonfuls of used coffee grounds.
Founded in a small coffee-house, lost to the mists of time, in Glasgow, Scotland, Cob's have since sprung up all over the globe, reaching from the caffeine-rationing suburbs of Tokyo, to the dizzying heights of the Space Needle's Starbucks in Chicago.
Whether Cob is just a temporal fad, or whether or not it will stand the test of time, remains to be seen; we can however be certain that it will never be forgotten.

Neil: "I, Nacho Neil, call this meeting of the Council of the Bean to order. Latte Lesley; the minutes from the last meeting, please."

One of the few acceptable anywords still left in existence, it takes its root from a euphemism for passing wind, however it has since grown into popular usage as a less offensive, more playful version of crap.
"That is utter pap!"
"What a pappin' ho that Sheila is..."
"I'd like to teach him a thing or two about papping..."

Deriving from the root words pap, meaning to pass wind, and ho, the Americanisation of whore, pappin' ho loosely equates to the phrase "playful slut", as in when one calls a companion a slut in a playful matter, not some sort of mischievous prostitute.
Used as an anyword, it can often be heard as an interjection in place of an exclamation, though it usually refers to a person or group.
The apostrophisation of "papping" is essential.
