Hobnocker

What is a hob knocker

If you are looking for the definition of a hob knocker, you have come to the right place.

So the whole debate about this term Hobnocker started at Nicklodeon where it was heard for the first time.

According to some of the sources available online, its a really weird guy. Some kind of a freaky deaky dude. Like a nerd geeky.

Profound Definition

Here is an intellectual meaning of this term – From the late 1800s to the Great Depression, tramps and hobos would build campfires to stay warm and cook meals. They would stir the fire up for the warmth. Thus, a “hobknocker” came to mean a hobo or tramp or one who roamed around, assuming little responsibility and just getting by.

Do you know the meaning of this word? Take a shot below folks. My page won’t bite you.

        The urban pholosophy indicates that the Word “HOBB KNOCKER” is in fact A male domanice of some sort going around and wacking people with his willy in there face. its childish and obscene but is to be told as a gester and bullying

    3. Nelly says:

      sorry

    4. michelle says:

      hahaha I’m sorry but a hobknocker is a real word.
      and what it means I’d rather not say but it is illegal.

    5. Amanda says:

      ok well whatever the real definition is for hob knocker it was not appropiate to be on nickloden.. now my 9 year brother and 13 year old sister are going around calling everyone a hob knocker..this was just wrong…i am 23 and when they told me what it was my jaw dropped down to the ground and then laughed…but then once i thought about it my younger sister and brother are going around saying it now.

    6. Jennifer Cocca says:

      I have absolutely no idea what it means but my son and his friend have been saying it every ten seconds, along with “I hate Americans.” Which I’m not very pleased about but hobknockers is kind of funny at least the first twenty thousand times.

    7. Mackenzie says:

      Please tell me!!!!!!!!!!Its driving me crazy not knowing!!!!!!!!

    8. mike says:

      it is a hobo that lives outside of buildings

    9. Kimberly says:

      Um… it means something NOT illegal. It is not a bad word. But just don’t start saying it around people. I heard that iCarly is getting sued!
      I am sad that that is happening.
      But hobknocker is kind of -no, cross ‘kind of’ out- inappropiate.

    10. natalie says:

      plz plz plz plz tell me!!!!!ive heard that its inapppropiate but im not so sure………………………………………PLZ PLZ PLZ TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    11. K Dobble N says:

      It is a person that hits other people in the privets

    12. Grace says:

      I personally don’t think that iCarly would say it if that’s what it means. And that isn’t even illegal. (But it is rude.) iCarly is a harmless show for kids and I’m 99.9% positive that that is NOT the real meaning. Nickelodeon would NOT put that meaning on a children’ show. They just wouldn’t do it.

    13. hobnokcer is an illegal and gross thing to do. And also ICarly is a teenage show and not a little kids even tho my cousin watches it is not right.Even tho i wach icarly, True Jackson, Amanda said a baddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd word.

    14. momoficarlyfans says:

      I watch i carly with my kids (8,7,&4) all the time and they laughed at the word hobknocker just like I did. I think its harmless and I think some people are over reacting. When I first herd the word I pictured a goblim like guy with a large nose so I’m gonna believe that is the def. Since that’s what I pictured any ways. I would rather have my kids say hobknocker more Than some of the other stuff I hear kids saying. Just think they can be cussing at leats hobknocker is a funny word. Its up to the parent to teach their kids the right time to use it or to not use the word at all. And one last note. To all the people shocked by this episoed and saying it was out line don’t tell me you never watched roger rabbit when you were a kids. Go back and watch it now, you will notice a lot of stuff that you didn’t when you were a kid, just like a lot of kids aren’t gonna remember this episode a few months from now.

    15. Zybba says:

      I’m only nine years old but when I heard them say hobnocker, I didn’t go around calling people it. I actually kind of laughed when Sam said it was illegal, too. Don’t overreact people. And don’t blame iCarly. iCarly was just having some with that British dude Wade Collins. If ANYONE is to blame for your kids saying it, it’s you. If you don’t like them saying it, and your too lazy to raise them the right way so they won’t say it, don’t let them watch. Plus, look back on some of your old cartoons. They had even worse dialogue! So chill out.

    16. wolfdoggy says:

      It’s kind of like a hobit with a club picking his nose and knocking on your door. That’s just one theory……Or, maybe its just GIBBERISH and you should stop making such a big deal over it. Don’t you have anything better to do with your life?!?

    17. Yoooo says:

      What is a hobknocker!?!? Ahhhhhh!

    18. Charles says:

      I am writing this for my six year old son Charles who wanted to know what a Hobnocker was. We came online searching and once we read all the definitions he decided he wanted me to post his idea. here it is Hobnocker: it is a person that knocks on peoples doors and he knocks a whole bunch of times and runs away. If anyone answers the door he says the words “Chicken boc boc booooc”

      so i’m seriously cracking up reading all of these posts from people. you guys are getting all worked up over something stupid that was said on a stupid television show xD another note, a lot of you can’t spell, but thats okay. just pointing it out.

    46. CJ says:

      ok u guys r overeacting! hob-knocker was made up but some weird people made up more crazy definitions to make everyone go crazy.
      and older cartoons/shows that u had when u were little r more aldultish then this! GET OVER WITH IT PEOPLE!!!

    47. the hobknocker says:

      i am wade collins

    48. OMG like LOL (: says:

      It really bugged me when I didn’t know what Hob Knocker meant, and they were saying it was gross and illegal, so you HAD to know. I’ve heard many definitions but actually READ one in a book,
      Hob Knocker: A hairy man or woman, who in their spare time molest small animals, and sometimes elephants, they also like llamas; illegal in Britain
      That’s what the books says…
      Don’t over react to iCarly referring to Hob Knockers, it’s a funny word and they mean no harm. If a 7 year old walks around and says Hob Knockers, they probably don’t mean it in a bad way, and they most likely have no idea what the heck it means!

    49. iCarlyFan1 says:

      I was just watching that episode on TV and I think Wade Collins should be arrested

    50. lalalandgirl12 says:

    51. halley says:

      That’s a terrible thing to say but it is true I know a kid whoes a hobnocker that lives down the street from me (he’s also a 6th grader and has a crush on me) and I’m 13 years old so it’s really weird and I mean the neardy geeky hobnocker not the hobo meaning.

    52. Nicole says:

      I just think that everyone is over reacting, its just a word. I understand it has a meaning, but obviously to there are so many interpretations no one really knows. There could be worse words children can be saying.

    53. Abby says:

      A hob nocker is very discusting! It is a real word and at least on nick they didnt say what a hodnocker is! every one I know asked me what a hodnocker is and I said I would rather not say!I told them to look it up.

    54. BM says:

      HobKnocker! Hob Knocker is not actually a word or phrase, in english or american english. Looks like it’s made up guys and gals.
      All the best from England!!!

    55. HobKnockerDefinition says:

      Hob-Knocker – When a Guy hits you in the Face with his Penis.

      Hob-Knocker – One who goes around Hitting People hard in the Testicles.

      Hob-Knocker – When a Guy takes his Penis and harshly slaps a Sexual Partner across the Face.

      Hob-Knocker – Some one who likes to have Sex with Animals.
