What is Twobobrocket?
1.
Often used to describe something that works well above the average or the norm.
From the days when the cost of an average rocket (firework) was 2d ( less than a penny).
Therefore one costing two shillings or "two bob," (12 times the cost of the average)would be considerably more impressive.
" That weans cart/bogie (home made vehicle made from a plank and two pairs of wheels, commonly from a pram.) goes like a twobobrocket!"
