Narbs

Did you have lots to eat over the holiday? I learnt a new Haileybury word for good food: Narbs. My spy in the Removes was unaware that it was not current thirty years ago. 

"Good narbs" is a good nosh. "Got any narbs?' asks whether you have any tuck (a word which is still current). 

Do you know when narbs was coined?

Network Aware Resource Broker

As to the etymology, there are various possibilities. 

NARB is an acronym for Night/Day Angle Rate Bombing System or for "Network aware resource broker." I am not sure what that mans but there is an explanation here, which I have not tried to fathom. Staying in the world of IT, Narbs is also a term meaning 'narrative bits,' units of information used to build a presence on a social network site. See here. There is someone with a twitter account who is @narbs.

Narb is also an online art catalogue for which you can get an app for your iphone. 

Care might be needed as narb seems to be a 'street word.' It has two definitions here - warning, one of them is a bit rude, and the singular (a narb) has nothing to do with food and cannot be defined on a family blog. 

None of this seems to have anything to do with food, and is all narb and not narbs. Help us out anyone?
