AOB

British acronym standing for Arrogant Obnoxious Bastard. Associated with the term Any Other Business, it refers to the people who tend to raise things when this item is reached on the agenda. They are usually in love with the sound of their own voice, won't take direction from the Chair and have a total disregard for the commitments of the other people at the meeting. Their pet subject is usually minor and could be put on the agenda of the next meeting, yet despite its unimportance they continue to drone on about it at interminable length leaving the other members of the meeting contemplating the validity of justifiable homicide.
