1. The body. The short form is usually heard in American speech, as in 'check out his great bod'. In British middle-class speech it refers to an individual, as in

'odd-bod'.

2. (British) A tedious, intrusive, pretentious or otherwise irritating person. A vogue term among the fashionable young in the later 1980s. The word may be a shortening of the synonymous 'wimp bod'.

'We are going to create a club without bods…No bods. Bods being the sort of chaps who've got onto the scene and just stuck like glue.'
