How Do You Spell DOBBING?

Pronunciation: [dˈɒbɪŋ] (IPA)

The word "dobbing" is spelled with two b's, even though the sound is only pronounced once.

In IPA phonetic transcription, "dobbing" is spelled /ˈdɒbɪŋ/, with the stressed syllable on the first "o". This word is often used in Australian English to mean informing on someone or revealing their secrets.

DOBBING Meaning and Definition

  1. Dobbing is a term that originated in British slang, primarily used in the United Kingdom and Australia. It refers to the act of reporting or betraying someone, particularly to the authorities or to a person in a position of power. The term is often associated with disclosing illegal or unethical activities of an individual or group.

    Dobbing can take various forms, including providing information or evidence that leads to the discovery of wrongdoing or misconduct. It is commonly used in relation to crimes, such as drug dealing, theft, or fraud, where a person reveals the involvement of others to the relevant authorities, typically in exchange for protection or leniency.

    The act of dobbing can be seen as controversial, as it involves breaking social codes of loyalty or trust. While some view it as a responsible action for maintaining law and order, others may consider it deceitful or disloyal. Consequently, individuals who engage in dobbing might face backlash or social consequences, such as being labeled as a "snitch" or losing their standing within specific social circles.

    The term "dobbing" is also used in sporting contexts, where it refers to reporting a player's misconduct or unsporting behavior to the referees or officials. In this context, dobbing is often associated with fair play and maintaining the integrity of the game.

    Overall, dobbing entails the act of revealing or disclosing someone's wrongdoing to a higher authority, whether it be for legal or ethical reasons, and is often met with mixed responses from different communities.
