What is Neeooobb?
1.
Neeooobb: A declaration of delight, excitement or satisfaction.
Pronunciation Key: (Knee-ow-b)
Emerged during the 21st century noughties in the Peoples Republic of Cork (Ireland). Predominantly, but not exclusively, Corkonian in usage as a sister phrase to “The Job”. The intensity of emotion being articulated may be emphasised by exaggerating the “ow” of the pronunciation key at will.
Expressions of mild satisfaction may be conveyed using “Neeooobbles” referring to a “bite-size” serving of “Neeooobb”
