Hob-Gobbled

When someone does something half way, or is lazy about it.

He should have done a better job of cleaning up the yard, looks like he just hob-gobbled it.

Well that looks hob-gobbled! She could have taken her time and did it right!

Well he may show up to help if he said he would, but that boy aint no more reliable nor trustworthy than the old Hob Gobbler himself.

Hob Gobbler

In this part of West Virginia, a hob gobbler is what people call a single male turkey that is either staring at you or acting in another eerie way. It is believed to bring bad luck in the same way as a black cat, although people don't take the bad luck aspect very seriously.

Sometimes hob gobbler is also used teasingly to describe someone who is acting like a misanthrope or loner.

"Oh lord, is that a hob gobbler over there at the edge of the bushes?" "Nah, see those two hens in the trees? He's probably just showing off for the ladies."
