Which part of the UK uses the phrase “Have a cob on?”

[Greenbeanmcgee]

And does it mean angry?

TIA

I first heard it in Nottingham meaning to be stroppy / in a bad mood.

My mum says it , but she’s the only person I’ve ever heard . SE England but maybe generational , she’s in her 70s

Yes means stroppy

I know it & im from Herts SE. I’m not sure I’ve heard it used often though. Means being cross.

Yorkshire uses it. It’s more like being in a grump than being angry in my usage.

In a bad mood. Lancashire and Merseyside

We use it in Liverpool. I say it quite a bit actually ha. Yeah it means to be in a mood.

South Yorkshire born and raised here and I've heard it used but think it's used more.a little further south so Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire area maybe. It's not really angry more mardy/sulking.

I’m from Stockport and we use it there. It means to be in a bad mood/having a strop/sulking. My grandma was from Yorkshire and she used it too.

We would say, “Ooohhhhh she’s got a right cob on!” (And usually laugh at that person because they were being ridiculous 😂)

Use it in south wales too, and same meaning as others have said.

Grumpy, miserable in East Mids

Yup, it means stroppy here in the SW - sometimes in a comic way when someone is being unreasonably cheesed off iyswim as opposed to angry

So…not angry as such. More mardy.

This. Heard it all the time growing up in Lancashire (note that Liverpool/Merseyside was part of Lancashire until the 70s).

Other variant is “she’s got a right cob on”. Not to be confused with “sweating cobs” which is entirely different.

South Yorkshire, I use to hear it a lot when I moved to Sheffield many years ago. Not angry more like a bit stroppy

Yes, means pissed off / stroppy in Cornwall.

South Manchester... It means in a strop or mardy.

South Wales for sure

I use this- liverpool. It means to be in a bad mood/ annoyed about something. You could "have a cob on" with Paul because he left the toilet seat up or say "Sarah's got a cob on because her hair looks a mess" but could also have a massive cob on over something more serious.

Interesting never heard of this. From Bham and cob was always a crusty roll.

I thought it was a Liverpool thing too.

I’m South Yorkshire and would say ‘so and so’s got a right cob on’ basically they’re being a mardy bugger.

Bradford born DP knows what it means but it’s not part of his “native” vocabulary….”Mardy bugger” on the other hand, is!

West Midlands outside of Birmingham - I know cob as a crusty roll. But also ‘her’s got a right cob on her’, meaning ‘she’s in a bad mood’.

Midlands
