Is it common use?
First of all, sorry for my basic english.
I see on Urban Dictionary that the words 'wobbing' and 'wobber' have some sexual connotations.
But, on the other side, I also see that these words are used sometimes without this eschatological meaning - e.g. in www . wobsite . be
The cuestion is, would it be considered offensive the use of these words, or can I use them without offending anyone, for example, as a brand-name? Are they common use?
Thank you and regards.

Re: Is it common use?
I have never heard or seen the words you mention, so they are not common, in BrE at least.
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

I never heard the word either (American English), and none of the UrbanDictionary definitions seems credible - most entries have more "down" votes than "up".
In my personal subjective opinion, however, it wouldn't sound too appealing as a brand name, unless the product is audio equipment-related, perhaps.
