YOBBERfrom Fancyclopedia 2
(Michel-Wollheim) A Ghuist term, obscure in meaning. This thingumbob is so
popular in fandom that it is meet to quote the editorial (from a Mijimag in
the 3rd FAPA mailing) in which it originally appeared:
"I, the Mentator Itself, call upon all heypoloyalists to rise and slice
these absolte ones, slice them, write and wrothe and then -- then -- Yobber!
Yes, Yobber! This is a time for stern measures.
"But first yob the leader. Yob the pohlth ikself! The pohlth that preens
and croos. The very pohlth that would durst murmulate the Mentator myself!
Vah! Tho we scorn with frange these attempts, yet we warn lesser sorji that
things may get out of hand. So forward -- YOBBER TO THE VERY END!"
The cartoon-character Yobber, created by Jean Young, is illustrated
elsewhere. [not shown]
