I'm familiar with "gobby" as a Britishism, an adjective related to "gob", meaning mouth, and to "gobshite", meaning smartass: something like "sassy" or "mouthy" or maybe just "talkative" - all of that my impression, not from some reference, could be off.
"nosh" as I'm sure you know comes from the Yiddish for snack (both noun and verb).
Obviously those are the tame meanings, but they give obvious hints to how other meanings might have arisen.
