Bobbing for designated drivers

[Benjamin Barrett]

Here's an interesting explanation from the Honyaku list of the word
"bob" for designated driver. (Flamish doubtlessly meaning Flemish.)

It is equivalent to "Bob" which is used in some parts

of Europe.


This word was invented by the Flamish. It's short for Bewust
Onbeschonken Bestuurder (Consciously Sober Driver).
