Is it like “No bend” or “Knob end”?

I’ve always read it as No Bend.  
However I think Knob End is a much more fitting name.

When I stomp them, it’s no bend. When they stomp me without letting me have a turn, it’s knob end.

Knob End. It’s a derogatory term in English slang, like Dick Head 🙂

Tldr;  
Only a knob end would say no bend.

Are the Nobend Brothers… chavs, as you guys call them? Or do they correspond to another sort of national stereotype otherwise inscrutable to outsiders?

Good question.  
Only one has a hood up.  
They carry weapons because in a fist fight they’d have no chance.  
Three of them because alone they’d get utterly trounced.

You could make the argument for them being chavs.

Hard to tell if they are wearing tracky-bottoms and white trainers…

I just call them CRAZY…

My husband loves it when I am playing the goblins… I have a narrative I do with them… in a very silly voice.

GO CRAZY (high pitch)  
Boooooom (low boooom)  
Fitttzzz Bang (when she actually does clear the board)  
Fitzzzzz Plop (when she doesn’t clear the board)  
Yummy (4 matches with Grapplepot said in a dark Army of Darkness voice)  
Ddddancing (Whe Grapplepot hits everyone)  
GO CRAZY  
GO CRAZY  
Booom  
Yummy

(repeat for at least 10 more turns as we smack down the other team)

They are my favorite team - Unless someone else is playing them against me and wins. Then it’s I switch whatever team it is and Bring in The goblins… because ‘Its A Duel’ at that point
