Bobby-Tommy is a term used when referring to the made up names foreign Customer Care reps are forced to use when dealing with American, European, Canadian and any other English speaking nation. Outsourced Customer Care (CC) for short, is mainly outsourced to places like India, China, and the Philippians. Where their native names are not as commonly used elsewhere in the world. So companies give these employees Bobby-Tommy's. Example: A name of Yashodhara Abhay would be given an Americanized name of Bobby Smith. This trick is suppose to help the customer feel like they are not dealing with outsourced labor, but it rarely, if ever works.
Well I left my wireless carrier today. I was stuck on hold for an hour and ended up speaking with yet another Bobby-Tommy. I couldn't understand a word they were saying, but they somehow managed to mess up my account again. Do these companies really think giving a name Jennifer Warner to someone that could barely speak English would fool me into thinking I was speaking to an American?
The term 'bobby-laugh' denotes a laugh of excessive measure and volume, deemed by the audience, given the stimulus that prompted the laugh.
A 'Bobby-laugh' nearly always follows a comment that is either mediocre in its comical value, or not funny at all. What seperates the laugh from a standard laugh is therefore defined post-joke; upon review of whether the magnitude of the laugh coincides with the comical level of the 'joke'.
The laugh is usually short, loud and abrupt and bares little justification.
This laugh is not of sarcastic tone and is usually intended as genuine by the laugher.
The enthusiasm and the magnitude, as measured by volume and abruptness, is often linked to the degree of compliance and agreeableness that the laugher wishes to demonsrate.
Standard passing remark:-
Person A: "...I don't know what i'd do with the money!!!?"
Person B: "...calm down love you still have a 2 more boxes left yet!"
Bobby Laugher: "...HAHAHAHAHA."
Note the bobby-laugher often is not included in the dialogue of the main parties concerned.
