Is the word "bob" slang for poo where you come from?

  I thought "bobbo" was a horse?
  
  Along with:
  Bobbaahs - Naughty/Don't Touch (Usually said to children)
  Batchy - Round the bend
  Beer-off - Off license
  Cob - Bread roll
  Causey - Pavement
  Ditched - Dirty

  Jobbie , heard that on the Billy Connolly joke jobbie weeker
  
  In belfast its just having or going for a poo or a shit, also heard one guy referring to it as "going to pinch a loaf"
  
  As for going for a pee , its going for a "slash" or for a bloke hes "going to shake hands with the priest"

  When I was little in S. Yorks, the nursery word for a shit was "bob-bar". As kids we shortened this to going for a bob. I'd always assumed this was where it came from. Obviously not necessarily the case.

  I've been trying to think of this for some time...........well, there's nowt on telly
  
  Definitely not 'bob' because when I was a kid a bob was a shilling and I'm sure i'd remember if it was also a 'poo'
  
  The giggling would have carried us through childhood
  
  I think we said 'baw-baw'............in Lancs
  
  wee-wee and baw-baw

  I'm from Nottingham and have never heard that. The only Bob I know of is the old shilling, i.e. it cost thirty bob.

  Yes and my boyfriend and I use it often and we're Nottinghamshire based
  
  "He's got bob breath"
  
  "Put Metallica on, just going for a bob".
  
  Etc etc.

  I've heard 'bob' or 'bobbie' (as well as the same with a 'j' rather than a 'b'!) occasionally used in Scotland. It's like the baby version of 'jobbie'.
