The structure combines "gob" (Irish slang for mouth) with "daw" (a variant of "daw" meaning a jackdaw, a bird known for chattering), forming a compound noun for a loud, foolish person. It is used in Irish English (Hiberno-English) to describe a foolish, silly, or pretentious person, often someone who talks nonsense or acts stupidly. People typically say "He's a right gobdaw" or "Don't be such a gobdaw."
