What the hell does nobbled mean

1. to give a drug to (a horse) to keep it from winning a race
2. to cause or force (someone) to do something that you want by offering money, making threats, etc.
3. to succeed in getting or catching (something or someone)

Is St.Louis an extension of England and I just didn't know it? There's a ton of British fans here.

Yup lmao...I was thinking something very different hahaha

I thought nobbled was something that rhymed with pistachio. I was way off.

You Brits......this was as funny/scary as "spatchcocking"

My first encounter with that word as well. It has several seemingly quite different meanings, apparently. Which did you mean? In any event, I'll say "yes" your friend should have hobbled the bloody wanker.

1. To disable (a racehorse), especially by drugging.
2. To win (a person) over.
3. To outdo or get the better of by devious means.
4. To filch or steal.
5. To kidnap.

Now that I think about it, didn't the crazy broad (Cathy Bates) in the Stephen King book/movie "Misery" "hobble" the character played by James Caan? She put a board between his feet and broke his ankles with a sledge hammer.

Nevermind. Nobble <> Hobble. I'm not awake yet.

 

[HX76]

I was thinking injure him (or disable him if you like).

My mate also told me all the Lions players behaved impeccably. No reason why they shouldn't but still nice to hear.

I just now got that "My Mate"= my friend and does not mean your spouse is lounging in a hot tube with someone else. I'm slow, carry on.

I would like to tell every one of you what I was thinking, But I'm going to keep this Op clean!! ( Besides,I think we were all pretty much thinking the same thing!)

If you are interested........this is where they are staying. My friend luckily has a corporate membership through his work. Usually one NFL team stays there when there is a game in London.
