How about the first person on this board to have bobbed one? Should just take someone with the patience to hop back 10 pages of posts or so to figure it out...

if something is bobbed it is shortened. a woman who wears her hair in a bob has short hair and a bobcat is a wild cat with a short tail etc...

For a more general example, try your local hairdresser.
It's a term for cut shorter or an example of something that is short.

I lost my forum rank during the last upgrade... If I still had it I would officially declare that such trucks would from this point forward only be referred to as "truncated" to protect the self esteem of all vertically challenged men named Robert.

The term "bobbed" has been used in the trucking industry for years. A semi tractor running without a trailer is said to be "bob" tailing. Short trucks have been called bob trucks for as long as I can remember and I can remember back to when Pike's Peak wasn't nothing but a hole in the ground.
