nobs
Wealthy upper-class Brits
Nobs is a plural of nob, British slang for people of high social standing or wealth—the upper class, the elite: The nobs in their country houses don't understand ordinary people.
The term carries a mildly contemptuous edge, suggesting snobbery or privilege.
In cribbage, nobs refers to the jack of the same suit as the starter card, scoring one point.
