Rough As A Cob

« Back to Glossary Index

Rough As A Cob is an internet slang term used to describe something or someone that is not functioning properly, is flawed, or is of poor quality. It implies that an object or a person is either physically or metaphysically rough, similar to the rough texture of a cob (a central part of an ear of corn).

Examples:

1. I tried to start my old computer, but it was rough as a cob and wouldn’t even turn on.
2. Her attempt at baking a cake was rough as a cob; it came out burnt and completely unappetizing.
