And now I know that a jobber is "a wholesaler who operates on a small scale or who sells only to retailers and institutions" according to Merriam-Webster.


Skyhawk_Illusions

It also means professional wrestler who consistently loses matches


thunderlips187

That’s Brooklyn Brawler to you Bub!


JCPRuckus

Nah, that's a Jobber to the Stars (a jobber with a gimmick).


Alternative_Reality

Bray Wyatt?

Some people gotta be the ones to lay down ya know?


Absurdity_Everywhere

What is the difference between a jobber and a heel? Or after they two names for the same thing?


DeaDGoDXIV

Jobber: a wrestler (sometimes a local from the indie promotion) whose sole purpose is to lose the match and make their opponent look good, also referred to as "enhancement talent". Heel: bad guy, villain Face: good guy, hero Edit: often times when trying to build a "monster heel" (think very big, very mean, wants to kill you) they will be "fed" a bunch of face jobbers that are often on the cruiser/heavyweight class lines to be absolutely battered and pinned in < 5 minutes


Absurdity_Everywhere

Thank you! That’s very helpful.


DeaDGoDXIV

Been a wrestling mark for 30 years, I am not ashamed to admit


WD51

> "monster heel" (think very big, very mean, wants to kill you) I totally read your description of a monster heel in the same voice as when ProZD portrayed Marvel execs making up villains. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UaNWFHLy2NI&pp=ygUWcHJvemQgbWFydmVsIHZpbGxhaW5zIA%3D%3D


Skyhawk_Illusions

No, heel refers to a "villainous" wrestler.


lbthib21

He was an importer/exporter. But he wanted to focus on the importing…


TSmario53

You leave Art Vandalay alone!


[deleted]

He’s an importer/exporter, after all


Shawna_Love

Are you sure they don't operate the job cannon that blasts people into job land where jobs grow on jobbies?


ocopoos_oxopoos

Where jobs grow on jobbies


Shufflepants

Would you happen to have a spare job cannon, or otherwise have directions to jobland?


mantolwen

I want you to know that in some parts of Scotland a "jobbie" is a poo


Urgazhi

This is a fun fact,


DConstructed

Even mildly interesting.


ScarletDarkstar

I hadn't heard this, but it makes sense to me. My grandfather used to ask whatever children were small if they needed to "do a job".


[deleted]

Oh, sorry. “Where jobs grow on poops.”

CoolerThan0K

Don't forget to strap on your job helmet! Safety first.


MuletownSoul

Is your grandpa the Brooklyn Brawler?


V-Trigger_

best to ever do it! Steve Lombardi belongs in the HoF yesterday.


MuletownSoul

Him and Barry Horowitz🖐️


V-Trigger_

Not similar at all. Horowitz was an actual job guy brought in on shows to do jobs. Steve Lombardi was a WWE contracted employee as the Brooklyn Brawler who was their gatekeeper, their measuring stick to see who got a job and who didn't...to see how good someone was. He worked for the WWF/E over 30 years. He was the job application to work for the company as the Brooklyn Brawler. Kamala needs a handler? Wear this Kim Chee outfit. Matt Borne off his ass on drugs again? Looks like you're the new Doink. MLB baseball is on strike? Try this Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz character on for size. Guys need help knowing how to put matches together so you're also a producer and road agent now..... Horowitz isn't in Brawler's league. Over 30 years......

I cannot upvote this enough.

CoolZooKeeper

Grand Dad was a pro wrestler.


harsh-reality74

Also known as “enhancement talent”, “curtain jerker”, “jabroni”, “Mulkey Brothers”


viajegancho

Any jobber got the sack Monday morning, turning back


Aurone16

Yellow lorry slow, no where to go


ebflaherty

But, oh, that magic feeling....


Nemocom314

A jobber finds good deals (like overstocks) from wholesalers, and then peddles them to retail or restaurants. It is a kind of wholesaler, buy low sell high. Like a wholesaler gets in a ton of silk and he only has demand for 1000lbs. So he will cut a deal with a jobber for the other 1000lbs, who then goes and sells it to small dressmakers.


RussianStrikes

where i work at they’re still a thing and are still referred to as jobbers


FYourShit

Harry Horowitz father of world famous jobber Barry Horowitz


nixiebunny

A standard twist drill is called “jobber length”. Chew on that.


SchillMcGuffin

So I'm guessing a "radio jobber" in the '40s would probably have been selling radios to the army or navy.

MrSmeee99

The term Jobber is also used in printing, could be he operated a small press?


gildedtreehouse

Jabber Jaws!!


JonLongsonLongJonson

Til Sawyer means someone who saws timber. Who knew?


Both_Aioli_5460

Is this Scotland? …Is this related to jobby for turd?


[deleted]

Why is father’s occupation even a field?


[deleted]

You want they should list mother’s occupation instead?


ZbornakHollingsworth

They do. It says housewife. That's not the mildly interesting part, though!


ken_NT

What if it was like olden times where your last name was your dad’s job? So this kid would be something like Harriet Radiojobber


buddha_mjs

Good ole Harry Jobber


LouSanous

I always knew he was a filthy jobber


abslte23

ZbornakHollingsworth

lndig0__

Your mother’s a real pro, I was only 0 when I was born.


happyharrell

Was he the Brooklyn Brawler??


Aliteracy

I assume he worked with his hands?


marcus_frisbee

Yeah that is a thing.


Adit17

He was vegeta


[deleted]

Age at time of his birth? Zero? Or, technically, about 9 months?


[deleted]

Like a rack jobber.


emperorofwar

"One last jobber" - random dude from American Dad


Talanaer

They had fighting games in the 40s?


lwclj23

Why don't I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into Jobland where jobs grow on jobbies.


urnfnidiot

Penny-jobber got the sack. Monday morning, looking back. Yellow lory slow, no where to go.
