In Aussie slang a "yobbo" is an uncouth, uncultured, uneducated, undisciplined, noisy person, usually with a great love of most sorts of alcoholic beverages. They can be really nice people, despite being yobbos. This picture shows two perfect examples. Honestly, these Oldies of mine worry me at times. They seem to go crazy when they are going out to some things, particularly parties. This time we were off to Australia Day lunch with a group of cobbers (that's Australian for "friends"). The Oldies upheld the position of the yobbo in that group; I guess somebody had to. At least they didn't make me go yobbo. You can see how far Mum went to look as Aussie as possible. She has these great little holes in her ears where she can hook pretty things like these tiny maps of Australia. Maybe holes like that could be fun but, you guessed it, she won't let me poke holes in my ears.
