Noun. Pronounced Joeb. Something that if it has to be said out loud, probably isn't true, and by verbalizing it, the speaker undermines exactly what it is saying.
The character George Oscar Bluth (GOB) from Arrested Development would say many phrases that are obviously false and by saying them out loud, it was clear he was lying and the exact opposite was true.

"That's a totally normal size penis" from anyone.
"My boyfriend is head over heels in love with me" from a girl whom was recently told about her boyfriend cheating on her.
Or, to quote GOB from arrested, "And that one's religious. That one gets pregnant, it stays pregnant. I dated a girl like that in high school. No I didn't." The immediate "No I didn't" is a clear Gobism.
May also be considered the noun form of Shakespeare's "The lady doth protest too much."
