Cobber

Australian colloquialism meaning "mate" or "friend", but not necessarily in the literal term. Can be used to address a stranger in leiu of "Hey, you there!" or "Hey, kid!" in a more friendly manner. As the word's been used since the earliest Colonial settlements of Australia, many Aussies mistakenly believe the word is archaic and no-longer used. In actuality, it's simply slightly less understood then more generic forms of greeting (such as "mate").

"G'day, cobber."
"G'day, mate. How're ye doin'?"
"Aw, been flat out like a lizard drinkin'. Hear the Sydney Swans hammered Collingwood on Saturday?"
"Ripper."

Closet Cobbing

The act of eating corn on the cob whilst in a closet. People do this based on the common fear that eating corn on the cob in public is messing and embarrassing, especially when pieces of corn juice fly out of the corn and hit someone in the face. Therefore eating corn on the cob is best enjoyed when one is away from others, or in a closet.

"Man, I would eat this corn on the cob, but there are like all these hot chicks around. I might as well go closet cobbing!"
