It started out in Banff, Alberta, to describe a skier from out of town with no fashion sense or ski style. It’s expanded to include all tourists in general, also called Gorbs.
Robert Remington wrote in the National Post in 2000 that Albertans and others who resented folks hiking or riding on trails next to their property called them "GORBIES" -- an acronym for "Great Outdoor Recreational Bastards In Every Sense." Rod Palm used gorby in a 2002 article in Tofino Time magazine, centred on the Vancouver Island town. "The Tourist ( homo gorby) migration to Tofino seems stable and is expected to peak in July/August.”
“There are a lot of Gorbs out there today”.
“Watch out there’s a bus load of Gorbs unloading and waiting to get on the gondola. Better hurry and get there first.”
“You won’t be able to get a reservation because there’s so many Gorbies in town.”
a Gorbie gap is the gap in between your pants and the top of your sock.
it is often associated with laziness carelessness and being un-self aware.
contrary to popular belief wearing shorts is not considered having a Gorbie gap.
if you ever see any model or celebrity with a Gorbie gap then you should instantly un-follow them on every social media platform you know.
yo tfue, ninja has a massive gorbie gap today. Yeah we better stay away from him.
