bobbish

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   in good health and spirits; hearty or cheerful; dated British slang

   After a hot meal and a night's rest, the travelers felt quite bobbish again.

Probably formed from bob + -ish, though the precise connection between bob and the sense 'in good spirits' is uncertain. The adjective became a dated British colloquialism for feeling hearty, cheerful, or reasonably well.
