Throbber

[Jason Yan]

Scots. A derogatory term for a [contemptible] and stupid person. Its origins derive from the aroused state of the penis and hence is used only as a term of abuse for males; although as the genders are becoming harder to distinguish in certain housing [schemes] in and [around the city] of Glasgow this can no longer be guaranteed. If one is behaving in a ridiculous manner, and apparently irritable to everyone in the vicinity, one can expected to be denounced as a throbber.
