one of my boys asked me about the word obnoxious today, which got me thinking about other "ob" words. obdurate, oblong, oblique. a quick check of OneLook and M-W gave a few variant ideas about the prefix "ob". no real question, I guess, but what other ob words come to mind, and have you other thoughts about ob? (I know, I could ob* at OneLook, but what's the fun in that with this obrudite crowd?)
