The term bobbish refers to the British policemen, or bobbies, as they �re called. When tourists see them in their uniforms with their batons and their black hats, they refer to the style as bobbish.
Another suggestion, I thought of, comes from Russian. In Russia "Bobik" is the most common and frequently used dog name (for mixed breed dog), it has even become a common noun, for ex. "My bobiks (dogs) must be hungry. I �ll better go home and feed them..."
Therefore, "bobbish" might be an euphemism for "dog �s shit", as in "I always pick up bobbish while walking my dog."
May I come up with another idea? I hope, you don �t mind...
Well, "bobbish" is a verb, that stands for "Beware of bad big shit". For example, when you warn smb: "Don �t forget to bobbish when you �re doing business with him."
