At my school there are a lot of knobs. Also at my school there are alot of musicians. So as a direct result there are alot of musicians that are knobs. So i've come up with a musical knob theory.

With string instruments, if the wrist of that hand in which you pluck the strings is below your belt. You are a knob

Examples:

So whats that you ask? every double bass/cello player ever is a knob? negative. the theory only applies to people in a rock band. if a double bass or cello is in an orchestra, jazz ensemble, etc, they are not knobs. Example:-

I'm yet to observe the knobbery of other instruments.


feel free to prove my theory wrong

I think your theory is pretty sound, you'd have a hard time disproving it

5/5, you're on to something here. I have yet to falsify this hypothesis.
players do games, press mens do their things. and fans do make good cheers.

This is exactly what I thought at first. I reread the post like twice before I understood what what was going on. Has anyone outside the UK/AUS heard of this usage of the word "knob" before?
