A lump or mass of something, or British slang for the mouth; also a sailor.
From Irish Gaelic 'gob' (mouth) or possibly from Old English origins. Multiple meanings developed in different English-speaking regions.
British sailors were called 'gobs' and the term became particularly associated with the Royal Navy, yet the exact origin is debated—it might come from the sailor's large mouths from eating hardtack biscuits.
