What does STOB mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectregional
A short stake, post, or stump of wood, especially one used for fencing or left standing after a tree is cut.
A stob is typically a short, sturdy piece of wood driven into the ground to hold a fence wire, or the stump left behind when a branch or small tree has been cut or broken off. Country speech in parts of Scotland, Ireland and northern England uses the word for this rough, functional piece of wood rather than a finished post. As a verb, to stob also means to stab, a use that fits the same idea of a sharp, blunt object being thrust or driven in.
