It's a belter of a word.

I was thrilled when I learned it. I was also pleased when I found out the face cut (as the Americans etc call it) used when felling is referred to a gob cut around these parts.

Gobs and snedding.

There's a plethora of ye olde word in the forestry and woodland world. Pimps are a fun one - small bundles of twigs and small branches of kindling.
