COB

Workday finishing time

Cob has several distinct meanings.

As a noun, it refers to the central core of a corn ear, often discarded after the kernels are removed.

In construction, cob is a natural building material made from clay, sand, straw, and water, used historically for creating durable, earthen walls.

Cob also designates a sturdy, short-legged horse, often used for riding or light draft work.

In British dialects, cob can mean a bread roll or a rounded lump of something.

The house was built using cob walls, a technique dating back centuries.
