    I ran across someone that wrote "I have a nexus s, I am fairly pleased with it. But the headset that Samsung provided with it is fairly bobbins."

    Needless to say, the first thought I had was WTF THIS GUY MUST BE BRITISH. Was that a wrong assumption?

    Never heard of that saying before, and that is in all different county's and towns I have lived in.

    I've never heard anyone use that expression either, but a quick google search returned this:

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bobbins

    For a term that I've never heard in my whole life it sure does have a lot of definitions.

    Fairly bobbins just means it's fairly rubbish; like total bobbins means it's total rubbish. I'm not sure why you twos haven't heard it. Maybe you're illegal immigants or somethink.

    Your fairly bobbins Monsly. Is it a cockney slang or something?

    Isn't it more of a Northern thing originally? I think so. I think so indeed.
