bob's-mom

Bah · bzz · mah · mmm

Origin: Bob's mom is a innocuous and arbitrary reference to a fictitious mother. Bob's mom acts as a less specific object of "Your Mom" jokes and references. Substitutes may include: Jon's Mom, Mike's Mom, Bill's Mom. Used mostly in the politically correct work environment to allow for kinder and more gentle "Mom" jokes that don't offend anyone in specific. For example:

Aaron: This project is huge and will take commitment and focus to get it done right.
Robert: Heh, just like Bob's Mom.
Aaron: I'm reporting you to HR.
Robert: Who's She?

bob's big boy

A Morrissey fan, usually Hispanic, who has dedicated his life to looking like a greaser, flossing a large cuff on his levis, a huge pomp, some ugly cowboy boots, and black thick rimmed glasses. They think they look like Morrissey, but are out of touch with most other Brit-pop or Manchester music. Many of them, particularly in the L.A. area do not focus so much on the music, but rather on the the style circa Kill Uncle/Your Arsenal.
Person 1: Want to go to the Morrissey concert at the Hollywood Bowl?
Person 2: No, I'd rather see him in Santa Barbara; there aren't as many Bob's big boys there.
