Definitions by Heavy Hitter Okra

The word Jillybob is defined as any dark, foreboding, or slightly scary space found between the back of a couch and a wall, or the space between a bed and a wall. It can be defined as the space between any sort of furniture and a wall. It is a narrow gap where children’s belongings frequently fall, landing just beyond the reach of their tiny limbs.

Example Origin (For the optional background section): First coined by Ron Cook at the age of 5, in August 1967, to describe the mysterious, unreachable void behind household furniture and a wall.
“Be careful playing on the sofa, or your favorite toy might fall down the jillybob where you can't reach it.”
