Definitions

  1. Australian term for a pal

Word origin

Uncertain. Perhaps from Yiddish חבֿר (khaver, “friend, comrade”), from Hebrew חבר (ḥāḇēr, “friend”), possibly via Dutch gabber; alternately, perhaps from the British dialectal term cob (“take a liking to”), or a conflation of both. The suggestion that it is a self-referential collective term for convicts and immigrants who departed for Australian shores from the Irish port of Cobh seems chronologically unlikely.

Used in a sentence

  • What's up, cobber?
  • G'day cobber!
  • He was the first member of our forces we had seen for five months. “Hi ya, cobber,” muttered Don.
